Well, another waste of time...it seems.
Bryce went to his Neurologist yesterday, all his tests/labs were normal. Figures! The doctor (neuro) still thinks he is having small, partial seizures... obviously, you can tell that I'm not buying it. It just seems "not to fit". He doesn't have any signs except for the anger outbursts, however anger is a huge part of BiPolar... ?!?!?!
His neuro gave him a drug called Lyrica to control the so called seizures. Thing is, he's already taken this about a year ago. The VA gave this to him for his wrist pain, he took it before he started Lamictal and lemme tell you, it did NOT help/affect his anger issues then, so it sure as heck isn't going to touch it now.
He called his shrink to let her know hoping she would put him on some mood stablizers FINALLY (he's been off them for nearly 2 months while she waited for the test results) but she says to take the drugs the neurologist prescribed. That she would not get into the "seizure" part of it. She would only control his BiPolar... Ummm.....what about the mood stabilizers?
We told the shrink that the meds she's given him are not working. But for some reason her receptionist likes to take diagnosing into her own hands, and she did not pass along the message. Instead she just told him to take the Lyrica and "let them know how it goes".
Yes, you're right, Bryce is calling them tomorrow to straighten things out. You'll probably be able to hear him from across the US, wherever you are. Needless to say, he's about as fed up as can be with all this crud, as am I.
I'm exhausted, working too much and will have to post again later with updates on the girls, just wanted to give you guys updates on the man :)
