I went to the neurologist this morning and after all of his tests, he said he couldn't find anything neurological that could be wrong with me. He thought it might be behavioral, but that wouldn't explain the morning heaving. He sent all of my records back to the gastro doctor and we'll see what they say when they get back to us. So I'm kind of feeling a bit deflated.
Meanwhile, my mother is driving me insane to the point that I had a minor breakdown in the car while she was yelling at me. I had to repeat over and over that she needed to be quiet and she kept saying things like, “you have so many rules!” Finally, I said, '"these are the code words. If you hear me say the exact sentence, ‘you are making me anxious’ she had to be quiet and count to 30 in her head." She agreed. Angrily. She doesn’t find that reasonable.
She's also quite hard of hearing despite having hearing aids, so I'm having my wife sit in during these evaluations via Facetime so I can tell my mother "the doctor didn't say that" and have someone else agree. It still hasn't worked 100% of the time, but it has worked.
Also, every single time there is a possible diagnosis or she reads something that she thinks sounds like my symptoms (and she's always wrong about that), she decides that's definitely what I have and she definitely knows what should be done about it.
This time it's worse, because she was a psychotherapist and she actually knows a little about behavioral therapy. But I feel really bad for her clients, because they had a totally crazy lady for a therapist. And she kept some of them on for like a decade after she officially retired. They came to her house. So they actually liked whatever she did for them. All I can think is that she has a completely different personality as a therapist.
Oh, she also thinks that the dry heaving every morning is inconsequential and I should just accept that I'm going to have to live with it the rest of my life. What. The. Fuck?
I guess it's been so long since I've spent more than a few hours with her that I forgot how truly nuts she is. And a bit on the narcissistic side.
Edit: Ugh. This fucking guy again.
Always makes me smh when I see young folk bleating about how safe weed is. I've known dozens of people that have smoked for 20, 30, 40 years+ and literally every single one of them is totally fucked up in the head, in exactly this kind of way :(
To he honest, a lot of them were fucked up when they started. A lot of people use weed to self medicate.
I'm curious because I think squid might have CHS. If it's even possible they should check!
Decided to post for others on lemmy:
What is CHS? Marijuana advocates warn of a little-known condition affecting heavy users. Do you wake up in the morning and dry heave all day?
It actually lowers your IQ.
I'm interested in hearing more. So many people I know are seriously fucked up from Pot.
They are willfully ignorant that it is a drug of denial, same as alcohol.
I started smoking in 1986, yes I'm an old cunt 😂
Have watched dozens of friends go off the rails and stopped smoking myself 15 years ago due to going a bit loony every time I smoked
About 10 people I know didn't give up and are now 50 year old paranoid wrecks, with no exceptions
It fucks you up, there's no doubt
