Hi Dave. Thank you so much for replying. I truly appreciate help I can get from anyone. I live in the Denver/Boulder area. My husband and son, have already offered to drive me. They are concerned about my declining health. I’ve also had quite a few of my specialists, telling me to do so, even my Primary Dr., has told me to try it. She’s been my Dr. for over 18 yrs., and has tried to get me in. She has written to them in length, about my declining health. She knows me, and how active I’ve always been. She use to tell me, that she wished, other patients, of hers were as healthy, and took care of themselves, as I did. Things sure changed, literally over night, for something I couldn’t even phantom.
My family would drive me there. I just hope ER would admit me. I know things can’t continue, with me getting worse, because it’s really a struggle everyday. I tell myself, “One minute at a time, and you can do this.” It’s gotten where it’s so painful and hard to go to Dr’s. appointments. You laugh, I know go in my pajamas, makes it easier.
I know Mayo states they don’t turn anyone away. This isn’t true, because I have, 3 departments. One told my Dr. on a peer to peer, I had to be diagnosed first. Well, that’s why the Drs. and I want me to go. I’ve know refuse to take certain meds., because of side effects, and they are just guessing, and the Drs. have told me so. The Drs. understand, that I don’t want those meds., when I don’t have a diagnosis. Some have made me so sick, that I end up in ER., and sometimes admitted.
God Bless you, for your valuable information. That is probably what I will do. My primary is still making phone calls, but I’m losing hope. I thought Drs. took an oath to help. I’m not so sure if Mayo Drs., believe in that. I just want some type of quality life again. Hears hoping I can get in by going there. I pray everyday for it, and all the other suffers. This, too, has been so hard on my family, watching, and being rejected. My son that turns 28, in 7/30, is so angry at the Drs. there, and he breaks down crying. My husband doesn’t understand why, and hates to see me in pain. My 25 tear old, is just plain angry, and says that they don’t care. That they can’t be the top hospital, if they don’t care about patients. I need answers and help, from Drs. that will really check out for rare things, as my primary tells me that Zebra. I’ve seen so many specialists here, so many tests, and given enough blood to feed a vampire.
Sorry, that I went in and on, but it helps to know that others care. Thank you, fir being a caring, kind, and compassionate person. Please stay well. Lisa
