To briefly reiterate: Have specialty dentist trying to coordinate with neurologist. A full three weeks have gone by -- no call-back from neurologist. Because I was following instructions of dental receptionist, I did not call the neurologist's office to inquire about the delay. Instead I finally called the dental office. Guess what? The dental office is on vacation until the 18th, the day of my next appointment. This means obviously there will be no input from that neurologist to give to the dentist's office. Here are some major concerns: More delay in treating the TMJ because of hold-up with neurologist and also that now there is too much emphasis being placed on the neurological aspect of this condition. Another serious concern/question I have is why didn't the dental specialist do the CAT scan on me in her office on the first visit like she said she would? I'm not saying she wasn't very thorough, but I do want that CAT scan. Should I just request she perform it? Another major concern I have is pain management. I feel if they are going to take another thousand years to treat this condition, then I want a referral to a pain management clinic. Should I just politely ask for referral? Anyway, please pray in Jesus's name for guidance for me as to how to handle these situations. My other prayer in Jesus's name is about that awful drug: Everybody I have spoken to said no way would they take a drug that could hurt them this badly, and I tend to agree. I know no matter what happens, I'll never take a bad drug like this, ever. Did you SEE Ozzy Osborne before he died? Have you seen video footage of Michael J. Fox? Please, Jesus, I'm begging you that I can be cured with a dental appliance or surgery, that I don't have to hurt my body or my face, and that these doctors are going to do really help me.
