Good Morning, All; As described in my previous posts, I stopped all medications in late 2004, and became completely "house-bound" as a result. Last Thursday, my disability insurance benefits were finally restored. I broke this five-plus year "curse." I went to my bank, to the grocery store, and even out to enjoy dinner. I can't describe how marvelous it is to have broken through this hellish spell! Here is where I am this morning. I need to get back on some of the medications for the chronic pain, and crippling anxiety/panic disorder. Since I no longer have a regular physician, I would probably have to be seen at the local emergency room. My fear is, that
should I show up looking for anti-anxiety and pain meds., they will assume I'm a common drug addict and toss me out on my ear. As many of you know, this is a realistic concern. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Imagine; after all this progress, and then should I become overwhelmed again, being back at "square one?" I can't let this happen. I've come too far!
