[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 137406, member: 1697"] Hmmm, easy child has been complaining of her ears for a month, and docs keep saying nothing is wrong. Plus she has been haveing nasty headaches all along, since christmas, too. and hot flashes. In jan I was sluggish, I blamed post holidya let down, but.....I did not bounce back. Then doctor reduced my prednisone, (but not my humira or methotrexate) and WHOOSH....my illness came back hard and fast! even tho the pred reduction was small. BUT at the same time....they found out it is now attacking my liver, and my eyes..so------I have NO clue whats up or down, whats going on, all I DO know is springtime seems to always be worst for me, followed by autumn......winter and summer usually settle down some in my body. I know my mom had a stroke post surgery when she was still on surgical floor. It was quite obbvious when it happened, I was there......GRRR darned docs...GRRRR and double grrrrr. The surgeon simply kept repeating "the surgery went well" Yeah OK the part of her that you operated on and the procedure itself, the procedure in the OR dureing THAT small time span went OK but, what about NOW? Well, the God like specialist, he could not come down from his Heaven to SEE the other consequences, ramifications, results on her WHOLE body of his surgery. The spot HE touched so intimately for his surgery did what was expected -thats as far as he could see. The hospital nurses simply shrugged and passed it off, talk to doctor, not me. The GP passed the buck, what does specialist say? As time went on it became more and more obvious that my mom absolutely DID have a stroke, altho a small one.....but all along, the professionals were non committal......some saying well, maybe she was like that before the surgery, some implying it was her malingering, some suggesting it was a medication reaction or our imagination.....but I was with her when it occured. and I KNOW what it was and exactly when it happened and at that time, yes, her body did show the classic signs and symptoms.
