Hello my fellow knowflakes, oh have I missed you!

How do I begin....
Well obviously I haven't posted in a year or so....

So much has happened in my life! Good and bad.

Fot the past 8 years I have had numerous trips to the ER for what was diagnosed as TIAs. Or mini stroke. The Dr.s did tests, blood, MRI, Cat Scan, the whole gambit, except an eeg.
I was sent home discouraged as the Dr.s could not find anything wrong with me. Quite often, I was told it wasn't physiological, rather psychological, I was somehow creating these symptoms subconsciously!
I sought counseling for hyperchondria! Cause after so much of being told there was nothing wrong with me, I thought maybe it was psychological.
About 5 months ago, I had another attack, in my old primary's office during a visit.
My primary called an ambulance, and my husband was there and gave them all of my medical info. Now, I am blind in one eye and it is smaller than the other. This is in my charts and my husband relayed the info to the ambulance crew on the scene.
They did not pay attention to him and proceded to intervein for a full blown stroke. I was unable to communicate that I did not need a breathing machine and was fighting them to take it off, because it was hurting my lungs! They then proceeded to paralyse me with a drug to make me stop moving. Before they gave the drug, they had to drop my heart rate down to near death. They didn't tell my husband what they were doing and he thought I was dying. Then after the drug was administered, they told him they had to do it to give me the other drug to paralyse me.
When I got to the hospital, they decided to Air Vac me to the nearest hospital that could treat stroke patients properly.
While I was being put into the helicopter, my husband again gave them my medical info and told them I was blind in my left eye.
But they ignored him again.
As I was being transported, I was vomiting becacuse the breathing tube was not properly inserted, but I couldn't move or speak because of the drug. All I could do was tear. I was in and out of consciousness, but remember the poilot relaying to the hospital, my medical info.

At the hospital, again I was in and out of consciousness, I was alert mentally at one point and hear the Dr. asking my husband over the phone if I did cocaine or abused any drugs. I faded out again. When I woke I was looking around and looked at my wristband. It read Il. Hubert, male 107yrs. old! I thought, hmmmm, ok. I was in some back room near the nurses station, un attended, and had to try to make eye contact with someone to let them know i was awake! Cause all I could do at that point was blink. I couldn't talk.
I regained full consciousness a short time later and the Dr. asked me what happened? I said, "I do not do drugs and did not try to kill myself!' I am not this person on my wristband!" He said, "Oh, we didn't have any medical information on you when you came in!" How could they not????????
I came right from my Dr.! They talked to my husband and the flight crew and the ambulance crew!
They said they couldn't find anything wrong with me!!!!!!
(Other than the fact that I had been drugged to death!)
They released me, all too soon I think, because I wasn't "right" yet.

They said see your primary tomorrow.

I was in the process of switching primarys and the first visit after the hosp. was to my new primary. The first thing she asked me was "did they do an eeg on you?" I didn't know, so she sent me to a neuro.
An eeg test was ordered and as it turns out, after 8 years....I have a complex-partial seizure disorder.

However, after that incodent, I have not recovered completely, parts of my left brain have been permenantly damaged, and I lost my job. (because I can barely add anymore!)
The symptoms are daily, to day I am having a good day and can communicate by writing, but others, I can't get the information from my brain to paper, or verbally.
This wasn't happening before all those drugs were given to me!
So, my question to anyone out there is do I have a court case?
I will be looking into it, but am just putting it out there right now.
Love and Light
Mary

Wishing you more good, better days than difficult.

yes what wonderful healthcare we have here in the good old US! i hope you can find a lawyer who will take them on pro bono for you!! there are SOME such gems out there!
or one of those injury attorneys who charge you a percentage of what you get from the case only...have you tried dr bach's rescue remedy at all? after the shocks your system has sustained it might help.

Ty
I have started some research. I will check our Dr. Bach though!
Thanks!
I talked to a family relative who is a liason between lawers and clients.
After describing my case to her, she thinks I may have been given too much oxygen, and that can create brain damage.
Funny, it's the same thing that made me blind in the one eye!

Bach's RR is great. I keep my spray bottle in my purse at all times.

My ordeals were not as dramatic as yours...
However.....
I can sympathize.
After a drug I was on induced 3 strokes and like you, blinded me partially in one eye and made my neurological spasms worse.....the drug was pulled by the FDA because it causes strokes and eye damage.
I tried to get in on the class action lawsuit, but because I did not go completely blind nor die from it.....they said I have no case!
Grrrrrrr.
I was/am so p!ssed!.
So I am more disabled because of the drug...lose the ability to speak or write at times....but I cannot find an attorney who will take my case.
Same for my husband who was on a drug which caused him to suffer a bad seizure...and he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat.
Thankfully I know cpr and brought him back.
The drug he was on was also banned by the FDA because it causes seizures and or death and or neurological damage!
And again, because I resuscitated him, and he has only has slight neurological damage, no lawyer will take his case either.
Seems fighting big drug companies is near to impossible.

Oh Philbird It was painful to read that. You are brave and strong. The more you continue to tell your story and find the support you need to fight this you will at least be promoting the healing process for you and for the disease in the medical system exponentially!
