Hi soonersmile! Thank you for your response! So very nice to hear from you again. I have missed you and hope that you are well. Please know that each and every one of you are so valuable to this group. This response will mean a great deal to Corinne, each and every one of them will, and they mean a great deal to me. It is not always if we can answer the question, offer the best information, it's just the good feeling that someone has responded. Please don't be a stranger, I know it's not a good policy to play favorites, but the nurses and Doctors and Doctor's assistants, paramedics hold a very special place in my heart! Love and hugs, SK ---

Oh Corinne, it hurts my heart to hear the way you have been treated by different doctors. That is very disrespectful. But thankfully you finally found a doctor who figured it all out in the first five minutes! Praise God. It sounds as though you are pretty much blind in both eyes due to all the neurological damage that has been done, damage which cannot be reversed. I noticed when I came here to read your entry that your name was in the Chat Room. I have chosen to not take part in Chat Rooms. But what I am wondering is how you are able to read and write if you are legally blind? You must have some special software which helps you do this. Am I right? Well I'm glad that you found this online support group. Gentle hugs Rachel ---

Thank God you found that doctor, Cori! No one should ever be treated that way. It's totally unacceptable. You can report those doctors !! (I'm vindictive like that! **![Devil emoticon for facebook](http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/facebook/devil.png)**) I really think this may be a good thing for you... please keep us updated!! Hugs!

So glad you finally got to a decent dr. I have an ileostomy and get dehydrated easily. I have spent numerous weeks in the hospital getting sodium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, etc. It is not fun. I hate what you are going through, but I wish you the least amount of pain possible sweetie. Let us know. ---
