I am terrified of the hospital. I have never been and I want to keep it that way. My pdoc knows I will do whatever it takes to stay out. I am scared that if I call him tomorrow he will make me go.

Also, you said you are taking extra meds to help you sleep...I have done that in the past and in the end it always backfired because I ended up becoming dependant on the extra dose to help me sleep, and eventually I would have to tell my pdoc and get lectured on the dangers of increasing dosage w/o doc approval, and then my meds would have to be completely re-adjusted all over again to get me back to the doses I should be on. If you are having trouble sleeping, I would recommend that you see your doc again and see if they can put you on a mild dose of sleep aid...you might only need it for awhile.

Anyhow, I do hope that you start to feel more stable soon, it sounds like you have a lot going on. Take care!!
