Ok. That was warranted.
I've been sick, right? Decided I couldn't handle it myself and just 'let it pass', right? So I go to my gastroenterologist thinking I'm in the throes of Ulcer-Fest 2010, right?
Turns out I have Lithium Toxicity. Mother. Fucker. Look it up - turns out it can kill you. Which I knew, I just never thought I'd have it. My levels have been, well, level, for YEARS!
So not only is it a weekend, but a holiday weekend... can't get my doc til Tuesday. All I can do is deal with it the best I can and try to wean myself off without doing it too quickly so as to not cause more problems. Mother fucker. Technically, I should be hospitalized, monitored, pumped with fluids, etc.
Remember the post a handful or so back where I broke down all angry at the new psych doc and how he treated me and that I asked for this test three times and he simply ignored my request?!?! Yeah, remember that fucknut? If he'd done the test (especially since it was overdue) then I might not be sitting on death's doorstep. No kidding, this is a nasty situation. So anyway, I'm pondering what I should do. I'm considering making an appointment, taking the results in to Dr. Sadist, tossing them on his desk then telling him what kind of car he needs to buy me to keep my mouth shut.
There's more testing in the works but I think this should explain 95% of my problems. Imagine, my gastroenterologist catches this while my former psych was content to let it go. I am contemplating suing the bastard and that is something I've never, ever been a part of. Or Dr. Sadist can buy me a car and I'll shut up. Honestly, I don't know how I'll handle it. But he could have literally killed me. Although I'm not out of the woods yet.
And now I may have to go off the one med that saved my life. Ok, then sure, it sort of tried to kill me, ha, but I'm just sayin'.
*sigh*
But for now I am thankful that my GI doc listened to me. He listened and did his job. Even though my ailment was out of his realm.
Thank you Dr. K. Because of you I live to be a bitch another day...lol.

Kate - Thanks so much! Yeah, it is scary - and me sick on a holiday weekend... of course! I am honestly considering suing but I've never done that and I just don't know - I mean, I feel like he's the doc, what chance do I have? He messed with my head before and had me suicidal, now he almost killed me another way. That is so not even CLOSE to right! He's on a power trip and I'm about to knock his ass back to reality. Thanks hon! xoxo
That doc is bloody mad. Mad, mad, mad. You've had issues from the start. Ditch the evil man before he does you more major harm.
Kick his arse from here to kingdom come. And then some. Oh, and inject some lithium up his anus.
Ginger Doll - Want to know the best part? I had to actually call him b/c of the three other options, one doc moved to another state, one isn't accepting new patients, and the other can't see me for something like 6 weeks!!! So I called his sevretary and without speaking to him, got a lab req for another lithium level. Maybe he figures since he fucked up he'd better concede now. But I really don't expect him to have a conscience, it would just be for saving his ass. And I will have to see him at least once. He is my only option til I find another person and secure an appt. I have no idea how I will conduct myself but I'm pretty sure I could cause serious harm before help could arrive. Or blackmail him. Or shove some lithium up his arse. Or...
Someone once gave me good suggestions on how to tarnish someones reputation without confronting them. I took good notes.
