sudden evening email from my doctor, disability claims wants to know how my symptoms have evolved if at all and asked the dr for a report. this is probably a good sign that they’re moving towards the pension after over 6 months with no news.

She emailed to ask since I haven’t seen her in a while, and I started a draft but I’m nauseating like van damme in front of a john wu script (idk) right now.

but still you gotta do what you gotta do. can’t really ignore this. so i loaded up deepseek, sent it my draft, explained the situation. it made a full email out of it tailored for doctor speak, so that she gets the right details immediately.

some more back and forth and it’s literally perfect. A bit long but she’s a doctor she’s used to it. It contains everything she needs to know since our last consultation without falling into disability claims traps, like on the psychological state (im doing fine psychologically, just living day by day yknow. but we wouldn’t want the claims office to think “oh so he’s not depressed? let’s get him back to work”)

I’m probably overthinking it but my philosophy is the better the info they get, the faster we get around to finally putting that thing to rest and moving on.

I’ll have to get an appointment in person soon but last time I went to see my dr she said she doesn’t really have more ideas so I figure it’s not urgent. But with this document I’ll probably give them a call tomorrow.

    oh funnily enough i actually ended up doing that, it worked great and gave me a history i can now just copy and paste where needed. I should also send the report to another AI for a second opinion.

    edit: I also mentioned in the new conversation to ask any questions needed before answering, it spat out 15 questions that managed to remove some possible links such as OCD.

    It seems stuck on POTS that I mentioned in an earlier post, though there is some migraine history and orthostatic intolerance that could fit in too. I did a quick test lying to standing and heart rate jumped up 31 bpm after standing while blood pressure didn’t move, so now I definitely have to mention that to my doctor and get a migraine specialist too because this is textbook POTS. None of my doctors ever mentioned it as a possibility or seemed interested in the migraine history 🫠
