This is from a poster in the Medical Forum expressing his exasperation with trying to get medical help in Canada ...

MS my story plz read
permalink

so a little about my medical situation and what i am going threw.. plz post responces

i am 19 years old and am fighting with post trumatic stress disorder and what i belive is multiple sclorosis

it started when i was 18 and noticed that my finger would spasum some times but thought nothing of it at first.. then it started to get more frequient to abotu 30 times a day, with the same finger..i smoked pot ocasionally at this point

then as the months went by the spasuming started to go to my other fingers on both hands. my mom and i went to the doctor about it and we got sent to a nerologist in our town.

the appointment was set for 4 months because of wait times and such.. in the meen time i got blood work and other tests done ..

at this time i was working at a coffee shop and i was cleaning dishes when my whole hand was spasuming and i couldnt control it.. i droped the bowl and it broke in front of me and all i could do it stand there watching my hand spasum uncontrolably ...

soon after that eppisode i would spasum here and there but just tried not to let in interfeer with my life.

i started having eppisodes of blacking out for minutes at a time at work and at home ( i would be making snoke ones coffee and then come to and be in a dif past of the store with no recolection of what happend ) this lasted for 3 months and got to the point where i could not work any more for my own safty

the appointment came with the nerologist and we got order for a heart specialst and MRI and CT scans as well as a complete blood test of every thing

my mom went away to cuba fro vacation and was staying with my GF. i was with her and got a tingle up my spine and then lost all control of my body and started shaking uncontrollably.. this had happend 4 times sence

i was staring to for no reason loose control of my legs and arms while working and i would stand there with no signal going to my legs to move them.. i could stand but could not walk.. it would last for 30 min or so useually..

i had to take a leve of absince form work for a few weeks just to be safe...

it came time for me to move away and go to college for my first year.. durring the first month i had an eppisode where i could not walk again with extreme dizzyness i did not know what was going on.. i went to the clinic in the strange town and got no help

durring the first few weeks i would still spasum a bit here and there...

in my one class i had my legs sieze up again and went to the school nurse and got imitted to the hospital.. at the hospital i was having a sizure like episode while awake where my whole body was shaking wildly and could not stop

i called a nurse over and she saw it and did NOTHING .. i had been waiting for 5 hours to c a doctor and was allready in a room ... it took 2 h for the doctor to see me ... i told him bout everything else and he said go home to your home town and get help there.. and that there was nothing he could do for me

im in a strange town with no one but my self to care for me and am being denigned health care...

i phoned my mom and she was pissed but nothing we can do.. so eventually went home

with the weeks comming i would wake up and have no control of my legs and arms .. i could not stand so i could not go to class.. i was crying because of this .. this has never happend before..

it stared happening every few weeks or so

christmas comes and i get more tests doen at home and see my nerologist .. i told him about some reading i have done and think it might be MS.. with the tests back he sees no signs of it form the MRI... we get sent to another nerologist and get more tests and the same conclusion is drawn

they find nothing wrong at all

so with my reading bout my symptoms and no help being offferd to me i start smoking pot here and there and it does help calm down the spasums .

i was also geting sharp pain in my legs and head and arms when i was spasuming alot .. the pain would bring me to tears .. when i smoke it all gos away and i can regain controll just a bit over my body

with the last few months of school i was smoking more to help the spasums .. and i with out pot i would spasum 100 - 200 times a day all over my body every muscel .. when i smoked it stoped immidatly

when i came home for the summer i went to c a counceler and told him all about it .. and some past issues with my family.. from the issues with my family he said i have signs of post trumatic stress disorder and he treats MS paitiens and does belive i have it.

he wants me to start preparing for later in life when it does get worse... as i wrote this i have had about 60 spasums to day including all over my face , toes , arms and legs.. i do not have a job becasue of the way the econemie is but i am surching ..

i dont have any money for pot and every day is a struggle to cotntorl my spasums with out it ..

plz share thought and i will alaborate where i can ( there has been alot lot more symptoms then the ones i outnlined but there isnt enough space to say everything ... on the MS Canada web site it out lines symtoms and i have almost all of them but like 2 ) i do have relapsing like most MS patients and sever depression..

thanks for reading my story .. its been 2 years of this now.

wow man that is messed up



liberals what say you about this young soul? surely your heart bleeds for this man?




by the way last harvest tookem to 6 feet tall and got 1lb off of 6 plants man this shit is tasty

He could be a hypocondriac who fuckin knows. Sounds like some of the paranoid stoner ramblings I read on here.

Maybe he has something else who knows. Doc did all the tests right said he didn't have MS, maybe this kid has more medical knowledge than his doctor.lol

 

[Loftiest]

So let's see, he self-diagnosed himself, so he saw a neurologist, a heart specialist, what appears to be a psychologist, received an MRI, a CT scan and had blood work done. ALL FOR FUCKING LITTLE OR NO COST TO HIM! They couldn't find anything and don't believe he has anything. But a counselor, who doesn't appear to have any medical training and no access to the results of his tests, also believes he has MS. Yeah, if he were uninsured here in America (as nearly 19 million citizens under the age of 24 have no form of coverage), he would have well over ten thousand dollars in medical bills. Yeah, fuck Canada!

Medicare is generally for those over sixty-five or disabled, idiot. You meant Medicaid, but you don't know the difference because you're not too bright. I'm a graduate student at a public university, so I do have health coverage. Where did I state that I didn't, you illiterate fucking retard?

well there you go medicaid, i dont know the difference because I pay my own way, i work hard and take care of my own,

if you take care of your own and can stand up on your own 2 feet then great im glad your up and up, but dont volonteer me to chip in for evryone elses fuckups and lazyness, I wouldnt do that to you

i started out with jack shit and now Im making 6 zeros with a legitimate job and havnt even broke 30 years old yet with my "illiterate" ass so if my illiterate ass can take care of myself without a college education and make more money than you with your college degree, then everyone else who cant can fucking drop dead for all i care they can do us all a favour.

if anyone posts that i should help those nare do wells who sit on thier asses and leech off the government then im gonna let you know whats what simple as that.


medicaid wtf? we got medicaid already right? cant you see they are ruining america to buy votes over years and years they are traitors and robbing our country blind and destroying it in the processes

you got 40% of kids not graduating high school here in the great USA, every good job in america is going overseas to people who actually work hard but are taken advantage of while all the idiot moron dropouts here are asking for a cheese sanwich and a snack pack with a juice box,


im all for compassion and helping the sick & disabled and mentally ill, but when we start passing out cookies crackers and cash to able bodied men and women its obviousy just political bribary and people following the path of least resistance and if you cant see that its because you're not too bright.

Do you know what happens to a wild cat when you feed it everyday? it forgets how to survive on its own. if you stop feeding it, it will die, so its a never ending, ever increasing cycle till doom!

but maybe ill give you the benifit of the doubt and say its just because you are still young and havent seen them rape your pay check for years and years with nothing to show for it but waste and incompitence

the american voter to me is bunch of misinformed morons who dont even pay attention to whats going on until a few weeks before and election



and when they vote for someone, even if it starts looking like they made a bad choice they cannot admit it cuz of thier stupid egos, they want to have been right

im not like that. I just call it as it is

so I cry Bullshit

anyway man its not really directed at you its directed at all the lilly livered red bellied liberal socialists who hang out in this forum all day and ask for juice boxes that i supply to them cuz the wittle babies are tursty

yes im talkin to you guys
