I nearly died at the hands of my own Doctors
If I could count the number of Doctors I have seen I would be a rich man. My BPD caused me to attach to the doctor I have been seeing and although she made mistake after mistake, she was kind and gentle and genuinely cared about me. In June last year, I had a shock diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease brought on by the years of psychiatric medication I had been on. Life got very tough, very quickly. I started to go downhill quite fast and every time I would see my neurologist he would increase one of the meds I was on and I would just get worse and worse, to the point where I struggled to walk or drink anything without spilling it everywhere. I also started to fall over, in the months from August to June I had fallen 34 times, requiring stitches in my head and was covered in bruises. I and my family all put it down to the Parkinsons' getting worse which was a huge concern for my future. So I had two doctors in the picture, one prescribing Lithium for my mental health and one for my Parkinson's Disease. I was taking around 15 tablets a day at that stage. Around the beginning of April, I started getting very forgetful and confused about things like what day it was and whether I had been to appointments or not. I also started to hallucinate about people appearing out of the corner of my eye and when I would turn they would disappear. I told both of my doctors about all these symptoms and they seemed unperturbed. I also started to lose my eyesight slowly, it became difficult to read anything even with my glasses on, I struggled to read emails and text messages and even went and got stronger glasses which didn't help at all. I didn't understand what was going on, I was so confused and my mind was so jumbled up that everything seemed like some sort of strange dream that I was stuck in. I was forgetting to shower, sometimes for a week at a time, thinking I had had one yesterday and my self-care just went out the window. I continued taking the medication hoping to god it would help in some way.
