While contemplating my upcoming visit with a neurologist I realized that because of my past unhelpful visits with medical people, I was setting up a defensive attitude for this visit. Not a good idea! I would like the visit to be free, respectful and understanding, resulting in a neurologist who is an ally who appreciates my position. Understanding on his part would also be nice, but is probably unrealistic given the fact that using my various practices, I accomplish things that are considered impossible and am far healthier than I should be. My assuming that I have to defend myself starts us off on the wrong foot. I fully realize that I am putting him in a challenging position so starting out with an open, loving and respectful attitude is more likely to produce the results I desire.
