I hope you get some sleep Mari.

It's good that your work buddy thought your outburst was "ok" -- not nearly as bad as it seemed to you.

feeling messed up. also complaining. I want to feel safe.
 

I think I slept about two hours around 10:00 pm.

I am somewhat sleepy again but fighting it.

. . . and I have an appointment with new pdoc at 11:15 am.

(AGAIN A NEW PDOC ?!!!!!! ?:mad: Is this my lot? Is this supposed to be fun???? Let's just say that I am not having fun. :holysheep:
I pray that she takes good care of me and has some wisdom. )

It takes too much preparation to go to new people:
~google to find the address
~map quest
~print map
~program address into phone
~calculate when I should leave home --- A HUGE DEAL BECAUSE I RUN LATE MOST OF THE TIME. And let's face it, I would always rather stay home.
~find my most recent medicine bottles
~put on some clothes-- even if they are dirty and on the floor
~talk myself into leaving the house, getting into the car and going to the place.

Talking to myself is a lot of work.
I should get awards for convincing myself to get out of the house and into the car.

============
Oh, and after that appointment I have to drive to work for a meeting!!!!!!!!

Hubby has given me chores beyond what I am capable -- wants me to deal with my credit card company and maybe something else I cannot remember . . . . .

wishing you well today!
 

Good luck with the pdoc today, Mari. You have a good prep list laid out.

Yuck about the meeting afterwards. Maybe try to process things one at a time. I'm thinking the chores Hubby "assigned" you can probably wait at least a day.

YOu do have a good list of things to do today. good luck getting everything done.
sorry it is so hard for you.
I think you are doing a good job of juggling things, good luck with your new pdoc.
sorry for the lack of sleep.

She was nice
 

I overslept and got there 10 mins late.

She asked about history but got through that in only a few questions --- did not make me feel like I was getting grilled.

I felt that she understood the sleep issue when she talked about diurnal sleep and how that difficult is to manage.

I see her in two months. . . . she said we could do one month but two months is o.k. since I am already established on these meds. I can call her to come in earlier if I want.

She wrote the Lamictal script for 50 mgs ---- told me to take 25 in the am and 25 in the pm.

Mari

Oh Mari,

Well this sounds like a good start. She sounds gentle. I liked that she said you could call her if you needed to come in sooner.

I was pretty impressed by this::) I hope things keep going smoothly.

Is this the one that is 10 minutes from your home?

:hug::hug:

According to Map quest she is six mins from my home and that feels right. I might have ASKED about coming in earlier.
It was something like first she said two months. Then she said we could do one month. That's probably when I asked / reaffirmed about coming in before two months if necessary.

Mari

This sounds so great.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

how do you feel about the lamictal dosing?
She sounds nice.:)
