Wouldn't this be nice? Two doctors happily, intently discussing you?

My ENT and PCP have joined forces for the good of me, Patient Q.

Today, they discussed my situation, my MRI results, my myopathy and other problems.  I am having surgery tomorrow.  It will include draining fluid from my middle ear and mastoid as well as tube insertion.  My PCP is confident that the procedure will give me relief.

My PCP also reports that my ENT (despite her occasional amnesia about my history) thinks highly of me and is sympathetic to me and my concerns about my hearing loss.  They both believe I have an autoimmune or endocrinological problem that is contributing to all of my problems including my ears and myopathy.  My PCP is glad to have an ally who does not think of me as crazy and who is shocked to learn that any doc would imply that I am.

So, tomorrow’s surgery…. I have no idea what the expected recovery time is.  I’m looking forward to the expected relief and to following up with my docs for suggestions on how to pursue a possible autoimmune or endocrinology connection.

Wish me luck!
