For those of you keeping track, thank you for all your support. Here's an update.
Had my appointment today.
Hmm. Said over phone when I originally set appointment that I wanted evaluation for aspergers, among other things. Hmm. Guy's information on aspergers is outdated, perhaps 20 years old, stated that he had no idea that was part of what I set appointment for.
Said I have a social anxiety issue--yeah, already knew that. Still doesn't explain the three day anxiety event where I did not sleep for three days. Does not explain the mood swings that hit out of nowhere. Does not explain the sensory distortions. Does not explain what I ahve been calling for lack of a better term my OC issues.
Have an appointment for a different specialist next week, one who supposedly is a bit more up to date on things like aspergers, and interestingly the university does have a number of different professionals with different mindsets, including a few who endorse alternate therapies, like herbal treatments--so we'll see.
Note that I seem to be having one of my hisst fits today, and I am still processing, I might have less of an attitude once I've had time to sort things through iin my mind, always slightly bitchy and resistant to things until I've had time to sort things through. Will probably be less irritable about it tomorrow.
And I just got news about my dad--seems the radiation treatment for the brain-stem tumor made it swell instead of shrink. Not good.
