@rnlorena I’m sorry to hear about all that trouble you’ve had with getting quality care. You’re right, it makes a person not want to deal with their medical issues because of the trouble finding quality care. I’ve had symptoms of my -now known- conditions for ~25 years. I was often given the catch-all diagnoses and meds thrown my way, I’d end up quitting meds and moving on. The symptoms progressed enough over the last few+ years that I got more assertive about finding good care and answers.
Have you looked at the specialists at Jacksonville Mayo? Maybe research the doctors, read their bios and find one that could be a match for you, then call Mayo for an appointment. Let them know you checked your insurance and the provider you are calling to schedule with is covered. Also let them know you’re ok with being scheduled with the doctor they feel is best suited for you based on your medical records. From my experience, at that point they’ll tell you where to have your records faxed. Once you fax your records, give it about 7-10 days and call back to confirm receipt and make the appointment. In my case, they didn’t want to make the appointment until I sent my records.
I hope you find good, quality care that you deserve. Let me know how it goes.
Robyn, Sorry for the running off of words. I tried to edit and they said it was too late. I think I might try your approach and see what happens. I really think it might be more important to try to see a cardiologist regarding the heart and maybe the eye thing. Although I am already seeing a neuro-opthalmologist. I thank you for your replies because it sets me thinking about options. I feel for others after reading their stories. It helps to share with other people because you might get something that will be helpful to you.
