Last week when I was in my "I can do anything" modes, I decided to finally see my regular GP for a list of things that have been getting worse and worse. I always thought my aches and pains were related to the BP and depression, among other things. But my body was really getting out of whack and I was in pain constantly and most specifically of all things my arms. I would wake up and they would be like in a rigor mortis state where I couldn't move them. Then they started feeling weak, to the point where I wouldnt' have even been able to type this far. Neck, shoulders, knees, etc. I have all the symptoms of fibromayalgia (sp?) and am on a new med Tramadol which helps some but I'm at a low dose. I get my bloodwork results this week for keeping tabs on levels of everything and am a bit nervous about it. Then it occured to me that I have an appt with my pdoc on Thursday, and a new T on Friday. What's even worse is that the last two appointments are out of town and I need to take the shuttle bus, it usually turns into an all day affair. Why oh why did I schedule myself so thin this week? I am already a wreck just thinking about it. I don't want to cancel the pdoc or T because both are very necessary right now and my T is new. I have a lot of anxiety issues and do not travel well at all. I don't really have any friends in the area as I have isolated myself so much since I moved here a year ago. My family is hundreds of miles away, and my daughter is too. Right now I could really use a friend to go with me to these appointments. I am kicking myself right now. Any suggestions?
