I had no trouble getting taxis on Monday

My neurologist and I aren't sure if the amantadine is working or if my MS is just being kinder to me some days because the results have been inconsistent and I'm not getting any relief in the afternoon. He did agree to the increase, so I'll be taking 100mg twice a day. If the amantadine is a factor, I should start noticing a difference. We discussed other symptoms I choose not to treat mostly (but not solely) because I'm on too many meds…

Right now I'm taking 15 meds a day if you include OTCs… that's sick. 2 of those meds are temporary to clear up my cough, another 2 of those are vitamins, and I have to take 4 of them to deal with the digestive problems caused by the other 7. The night before I took the meds for my cough, I reminded my husband where my med list was in case anything happened because I was scared I was on so many ****ing drugs, but fortunately I haven't had any issues and the meds seem to be helping my cough.

My husband blew off food shopping again yesterday, but we went to buy cat food. We'll have to go today because we're running out of toilet paper and I only have one cup of coffee left… neither one of those things is acceptable lol.

I got a call from pdoc's office on Monday saying they faxed my referral form over to the club. I've been meaning to call over there to confirm that. I should do that today and try to correct the problem if they didn't receive the fax. I haven't decided if I will go this week or not. I mentioned it on Mari's thread already, but I tend to find a person I'm at least familiar with and anchor myself to them for safety. At the club, the director would be that person at this point, but she mentioned she would be on vacation this week. She would usually be the one to make arrangements for the orientation they do for new members as well. When I went to the club the first time, I had already spoken to her on the phone and we had an appointment. But going out of the blue without her there is out of my comfort zone. I have a fear of walking around aimlessly with nobody acknowledging me, or perhaps scrutinizing me. Maybe I'll feel different after I talk to someone on the phone regarding the referral form? We'll see if I get brave.
