"Not well, I live in the Dallas area. I just need a doctor to diagnose me. I have been sick now for 10 yrs. and only have Medicaid disability ins. Recently it's attacking my brain and spinal cord. I'm losing bowel and urine control with pain flares every 30 to 60 days. Plarkland hospital is the only place that has specialist that take Medicaid. It takes 1 yr. to get a referral thru and make a appointment. I saw a GI every symptom I told him he said not my department. He only gave me Zoloft for 2 yrs. as I got worse. Next urologist he was the same. Meanwhile it's attacking my eyes. I finally found a primary Doctor that's willing to refer me but he can't find a doctor in the entire area that treat adults. If I were a child under 20 yrs. old there are doctors. I've been disabled for 10 yrs. due to degenerating back issues. Must I wait a year lose my vision and ability to walk because no doctor wants to help you unless you have Medicare and those docs are becoming harder to find. Any advice on what I can do?I am scared and all alone. I'm having brain flames and the worse pain flares in a pattern. Desperate pls reply."
