Mrs. Glass Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 After many emails and faxes, I finally have an appointment with Vanderbilt. I will be there March 20th. I am so glad because I am getting worse as the days go by. I just hope that I can make the trip. At least I dont have to go off of all of my meds. I can still take the coumadin and the travatan, but most of the others I will have to be off of from 24 hours to 3 days before I get there. I know they are not miracle workers, but if they could just diagnose me and give me a treatment plan for my doctors here to follow it will have been worth it. I have not been posting because it is next to impossible for me to sit at the computer, and right now I feel horrible, but I wanted everyone to know that I am still here. I am just to sick to do anything right now.It seems like it is taking forever just to get this post done, then back to bed. I will try to keep posting but if I dont hopefully I will be able to after I come back from Nashville. Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia3 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 good luck with your journey to Vandy!I hope you get some details to help you treat your individual case. AND good luck with the long trip. Are you driving or flying?While I hear follow up is disappointing from MANY research centers, at least getting details from your tests should help to understand your body. Ask for the details BEFORE YOU LEAVE. Keep us posted when you feel up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Dame Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Vanessa,Good luck with your appointment. I know that going Vanderbilt gave me peace of mind, and they did find a medication that seems to be working. Mostly, knowing exactly what's wrong with you should make you feel better. You'll love the nurses, they're so sweet! Are you being admitted, or just an outpatient appointment?- lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
