"Right now I am still feeling so traumatized by my neuro visit to Dr. Patel in AG. First, I have an extreme reaction to reflex tests on my knees. I have been like this since I was a child. When someone taps my knees, it's like I've been plugged into a wall socket. Literally all of my muscles constrict, causing my body to compress around itself. It's just so ridiculously painful that lasts for days and sends me into overload with tears. I have zero control over this nervous system reaction to my knees being tapped. 5/5/22: I’m in a pretty bad way from today’s neuro tests. My body over reacted to Dr Patel checking my reflexes at my knees. I asked him not to, like I tell every MD, explaining that it sends my systems into overload. But he said it was an important part of the test and there was a feeling of lack of patience with me. So I thought “just put on your big girl panties and let him do it.” Stupid me. This was the worse reaction I’ve ever had to that test. On my right knee, ...
as soon as he tapped my knee… my entire body totally spasmed, my body jerking over my legs and (unconsciously) grabbing his left arm. At that point, I think he said “let go of my arm”. No problem, as I did. But now I’m shaking and I absolutely know this is the wrong thing to be doing to me. I tried to cover my left knee (my bad knee), but he blocked my hand and tapped it anyway. My entire systems reacted so fast, spasming I landed up on the floor, crying and clutching my knee (which also included unintentionally latching onto his arm). My whole body was shaking so hard as I was crumpled on the floor. Literally… I could feel him rolling his eyes. He said “breath”, “let go of my arm” and “stand up”, “stand up”. Through crying, I responded (twice) “I’m trying.” First off… I can barely get off the floor on a good day, let alone crumpled, in pain, shaking and traumatized. Not a word from him. Not an offered hand to help me up. So I had to crawl towards my husband so that I could use the exam table to pull myself up. I have never felt this disregarded in my life. He said he didn’t find anything neuro wise, but he thinks I need to see a psychiatrist for anxiety and meds. He begrudgingly is referring me for another MRI, also more neuro specific labs, another EKG. I’m just in extreme shut down right now and I need time to come back. Right now… I’m so done done DONE with all of this. ? 5/7/22: I still feel so traumatized!! STILL! It's absolutely overwhelming me right now, and I can't seem to get over how I was treated 2 days ago at my new neuro visit. I spoke to my husband this a.m., just to make sure I wasn't overreacting to what had happened. I could have cried, because he felt the same way and we both agreed I needed to switch to another neuro. I don’t want this man ever touching me again. ? "
