Popular Post Zealot Posted May 26, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 26, 2022 Jsharr’s post prompted my thoughts. Next week, I am scheduled for brain, cervical spine and lumbar spine MRIs. Haven’t been in that machine since 2006. A little concerned that they won’t see any remnants of a brain.... 🧠 😉 On a positive note, I had both my Abdominal Aorta Duplex and my Carotid Artery Duplex ultrasounds, with decent results. My follow up with the cardiologist is in July, but he hasn’t called me with anything newly worrisome, so I’m happy. 😊 Had contact with the Scleroderma Rheumatologist @ Hopkins. I’ve shared all the past and recent testing info with her and linked my MyChart accounts so she can see all that is there. She’s very responsive and seems appreciative. A thought- for any and all who deal with lengthy, chronic or idiopathic life altering conditions, my hat’s off to you! Seriously. I read your individual stories here and often I’m amazed and humbled. Peace, this day. 2 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted May 26, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2022 Thank you for the update. We care and are with you. You are so right regarding the issues for long term health issues. I've dealt with emergencies, where you muster all the resources for immediate, urgent action. It's a different sort of issue for chronic conditions where you're not only battling the health issue, but also working your way through doctors offices, ongoing billing issues, scheduling delays etc. It takes a special sort of patience but it's just as important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted May 26, 2022 Share #6 Posted May 26, 2022 Keep up the good fight, Zealot! It is definitely a lot of moving parts. I rarely engage with the medical system, and I am amazed at how many different things need to come together to get stuff figured out. As your own best "advocate", it certainly can become a full time job (with overtime) to sort these things out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a conversation with @Dirtyhipback in March timeframe when the doctor stuff started in full swing. She expressed adamantly that we need to be and remain our own advocates. And she was correct. She amazes me and I am thankful for all the advice she’s provided. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
