My cousin Sherrell took me to the doctor today for my follow up. My cousin Anna would have taken me but she is in Mississippi and could not take the time off. But, she promised she would send me a meal and some cheesecake to make up for it so I guess all is good! LOL. I had a tremor when we got to the doctor's office. I lost my balance so they had to bring a wheel chair. The doctor has increased my valum dosage to 10 miligrams and I am to take it as needed. I really like my doctor, he is patient andd caring. He wants me to see a counselor and not just a behavioral specialist to determine for sure that this is conversion disorder. He offered such clear instructions and guidance and I feel so good about where we go from here. He also will coordinate my disability. They will call and set up the appts for the counselor and follow up with my home therapy. We did not set up my follow up with Dr. Griggs but I am sure that will come next week. After the trip I was so tired and worn out but felt good about where I am and where we go from here. Bottom line is we are making progress and I do feel I am in good hands. As Dr. Griggs put it let's make sure this is indeed conversion disorder. If it is great we can continue to treat it if not, let's get some answers and treat the condition with proper medication. He ordered me handicaped parking pass and ordered me not to drive until further notice.
I enjoyed my time with my cousin as well. She was so helpful and comforting. I am truly blessed to have her and my family.
