Hello I am new to the AB

[Dr Salyikova]

Hello I an new to the AB and I would like to explain that I am a psyciatrist and GP I have decided that I would join the AB as I have been alarmed that people on this website are sometimes given untrue advice by other members . I do not think it is done out of nastiness but I felt I could offer an answer that users would know is true.

Well just the chap I've been after, perfect:)

I'm a 45 year old male in good physical health, not overweight, no known problems. I suffered on two seperate occasions brain injuires as a child (approx 6 years old). The damage is principly to the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe and I have all of the usual signs of frontal lobe damage ( loss of temper, increased sex drive,some motor co-ordination issues , less so classic temporal symptoms but I do find some things hard to process. My question is I had TB Meningists a few years ago and had a shunt fitted.I'm fine now for all intents and purposes except that I find it incredibly difficult to sleep normally ( for longer than say 2 hours at a time and am exhausted the entire time and my temper, which has always been difficult to control, ( although I have managed it well for the past 8 or so years) is now fraying a lot more quickly and I am experiencing blindingly intense headaches/migraines.

My present Dr appears not to be taking any of this on board and just prescribes painkillers and tells me I'm stressed. No S**t Sherlock! Yes I am stresed because I can't get rid of these headaches and can't function because I can't sleep.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be very much appreciated.Thanks

Dear Dr. Salyikova,

Just a few thoughts:

1/ I believe that even someone with poor spelling is able to spell his own job title, especially if said job required years of studying and tons of diplomas.

2/ I thought people in the medical profession were condired quite busy, especially GPs. Maybe last time I went to see my GP, the reason for him giving a 2 and a half minutes appointment was that he was too busy posting poorly spelt advice on internet forums. I don't know.

3/ This is a website, which means it is faceless. Do you really believe we are going to take your word for it when you say you are a doctor ? Get real.

In the remote chance that you are for real, forgive my reluctance to believe you. I don't believe you are, but hey ! I suffer from an inherent inability to trust people, which I believe I acquired during my chaotic childhood which involved, amongst other things, my brother feeding me spiders while telling me they were sweets. Any thoughts on this ?

Give the good Dr a chance eh? I'm sure if he's genuine he'll be able to tell me all about my condition, especially about the post operative situation with the shunt I had fitted and how to deal with that. Of course if he's not genuine he won't have a clue what I'm talking about.....so I await your answer with baited breath Dr:)

Did you see this person posted an answer on Millies Q.

Please look and see what you think!!!

[tinkertontom]

sounds a bit dodgy to me sniff sniff yes I can smell that smell too

[redcrx]

hey senseforall,

Isnt the post on Millies the only other one that the Dr has posted? I hate to be so untrusting but if 122345, or any other nasty individual, wanted to continue the hurt originally it would be a simple way of getting a lot of people to trust and believe the GP claims.

Hmmm, just gone and had a look at milly's thread, very odd posting for a Dr, however I'm still very eager to see what you have to say to me Dr, can't wait in fact.
