I Told You I Was Sick
We know our bodies best. This is my story about how I am fighting horrible insurance and a Dr. who will not listen.
One day at work I was having a usual day, all the way up to my lunch break. I sat down to eat my lunch and I stayed seated for about 30 minutes. When I stood up, my legs were in so much pain I could not walk. From my ankles to my knees, was all cramped up. After hobbling around for about 10 minutes, I was back to normal. A week or two passed and I just figured it was because I had bad shoes on.
Then I started feeling ill, when I got up in the morning. I was down right having morning sickness!!!! I have been "fixed" for 6 years now and new that I was not pregnant. Anyways another week goes by sick every morning, my legs cramping up. "Could they be related?" I decided to make an appointment with the Dr.
I gave all my symptoms to the Dr. and he really didn't pay any attention....to me saying, "hey there is something wrong here!!" I ended up with a complete physical, blood work, the whole shebang.
Fearing the worst and hoping for the best. I waited one week before getting my results. I was perfectly healthy! My cholesteral was dead on, blood presure great, white blood count perfect, not a thing wrong with me. Now I was disappointed. I know there is something wrong with me!!
I have decided to get a second opinion, since my legs have been getting worse. Unfortunately I have horrible insurance and finding another Dr. who will take new patients and horrible insurance is nearly impossible.
I keep thinking back to a gravestone I saw once. It is located in the Truckee Cemetary in Truckee, CA. It simply states, "I told you I was sick"
