Default Hey Cricket!

I think most of us go into denial......this darn disease can be so scary!!!!!

You prolly didn't tick off your neuro........he/she is probably busy..........just tell his receptionist that you feel really awful and they'll work you in......

Hang in there!!!!! Once you're on your other meds, you'll feel MUCH better!!!

Have I screwed up? I feel so bad and really wanted to see him before next wednesday. The meds are helping me a little bit...But I am scared that I have screwed up with this doctor.
