Gloom Clouds still make rain!

I don't think I have ever had such a bad time with online medical research as I have over my skin condition. Yes, it's in the exzema family which every website blanketly tells people isn't a serious thing. My scarred butt would very much like to disagree with that. I did with longer searching notice that the particular modality in which my dermatitis grows and spreads is the most serious of that family. It also has a nasty habit of resisting topical medication. Still at least I don't mind looking a little funny. I can't imagine how a vain person without my persistence could ever go outside again. I will at least have to rethink bathing suits of which I didn't have one that fit anyway.

The SSA is taking an interesting tact with my review process. They have more than enough to say I still qualify but the have become very interested in my panic disorder. Because of the heart arrhythmia I am technically taking a medicine for that. Doesn't it always confuse people when medicationshe have a dual use? The cardiologist I saw was very weirded out that I was on lisinopril for my kidneys in case I finally jump the gap between pre-diabetes and diabetes II. So while I can say I am on a medicine for my anxiety that doesn't seem as important as why am I not seeing a psychiatrist? Well for one more drugs would probably make me sicker. I have a lot of drug sensitivities and if my sister's trial and error search for her Bipolar medicine taught me anything is that it's too easy to get suicidal thanks to a bad medicine.

Find me a psychologist and I would be much more interested. Speaking of the brain all this records seeking and a recent MRI got me guilted into making a to do list about following up with the specialistsame I don't see much. That would be the neuro ophthalmologist whom I am due to see and the new neuro that couldn't get my old files. I guess I won't have to worry about files because my old one takes my insurance again! I even got a super early appointment so I won't have to wait so bad in the office.

The question is has anything really change relevant to them?  What do I have that they can use? Well as of my new lumbar MRI I know that I have Degenerative Disc Disease primarily in my lower back. I have figured out two major chemical stimulants that trigger shaking fits, Cafinee & BVO. I also know at least one visual trigger for my Dystonia...a scene from a very specific movie. Beyond that I know police lights also tend to set it off which I am pretty sure means it's not lights so much as patterns which do it. I can also tell them that the rheumatologist didn't find anything to explain my positive csv serum. I guess that's more than I thought.
