I still haven't really found stabie ground as yet, even though I was diagnosed almost a year ago and have had a number of med changes. I'm pretty close, however, and right now my pdoc and I are concentrating more on therapy so I can cope better, which is progress in itself.
Know what you mean about spending more time with your pdoc than any other doctor.....I've seen my internist twice in the past six months, my pdoc 7 or 8 times. At one point I 'graduated' to every 3 months, but had a major backslide and went back to every 2-4 weeks......this time, it's six weeks. I'm in something of a depression now, but it's much less severe than last winter's so I think I'm finally getting somewhere.
