Feeling down

So my friend just got back from the specialist in Boston. She had an eeg done which showed a lot of visual sensory overload in her brain. He says he sees this in most of his HPPD patients, (drug induced visuals).

I feel like she was the only one on my side with the theory that the hole is the problem. Now I feel like this Dr. has told her it's a chemical reaction in her brain caused by drug use.

I know that a PFO can allow bits of dirty blood filled with neurons to travel to the brain... This can cause migraine. However after endless searches for others who have had this and had the closure, I've only found Katy. Everything matches, but for some reason I keep having doubt about it helping me. I wish I could just get my insurance already so I can go see a dr. I want my life back. I have already isolated myself from the board with others who have these symptoms because no one liked to listen to the theory. Now I am hoping I don't lose the person who was on my side with this theory. She told me today that even though Katy had sucessful treatment and cure of her symptoms, that is basically wasn't enough to convince her.

I guess it's just me.... doing it on my own now. Figuring this out and finding the light at the end of the tunnel.
