Just a point of clarification:

My T's message didn't say anything about emergencies, clinical or not, true or not. It simply said that so and so was covering and gave his number.

Personally, I didn't have any doubts about calling. I just wouldn't. I am not necessarily proud of that, and wish I was less rigid. I was curious about how others felt about it and wanted to offer this up as a topic for discussion. However, I must say that I believe that when in doubt, you probably should call. You know, err on the side of caution. Better to be safe and if T didn't want you to call he wouldn't leave the number. I think that most T's would want you to feel that you had someone to talk to if you needed to.

Pain flair ups come in many forms, physical and mental. When the pain hits hard, Ts want us to call.

If I weren't so fortunate to have such phenomenal support I would probably call the covering T.

I think that we all need to avail ourselves of the help that is around when we need it!
