#I means spasms but muscle spams is funnier so I'm leaving it

Hey y'all! A word of advice about going to a new doctor (this is US-based, but I think might be applicable to more than just that): If they do not ask you for your medical history, that is not a good sign

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #I went to a neurologist and they did not ask ANYTHING about my medical history #except about my migraines and muscle spams #I means spasms but muscle spams is funnier so I'm leaving it #but like...I have two different 'does salt wrong' disorders #it is extremely implausible that my muscle spasms are NOT related to my Need More Salt disease #but they did not ask about my Need More Salt Diseases #and also my migraines are COMPLETELY fixed by benadryl so the chances of them not being allergy based is...small #I went there for issues with flashing lights and they didn't ask if I had a family history of epilepsy!! #and they kept asking if I only saw the flashing lights when I had migraines #I had to say 'when I see a physical light that is flashing it is disorienting and makes me nauseous' #before they understood I am not seeing flashing lights that don't exist #I have issues with flashing lights when the lights themselves are actually flashing #they didn't ask about concussions!!! I've had several! I had to bring it up #and the doc was like 'nah probably not important' and I was like 'I have a dent in my skull from one of the concussions' #so he did feel the dent in my skull but still!!!! why would the neurologist NOT ask if I'd had concussions??? I've had at least three!!
