Allergist thinks I should get a chest x-ray. My PCP ignored that and asked, on the medical email I use, what I thought about seeing a psychiatrist.

Maybe I'm overreacting because T suggested the same thing. But I tried antidepressants and they made me shaky! I can't take certain ones with warfarin. I hate them!!!

The weakness is not anxiety, and neither is the sciatica. Maybe some is from stress but I think it's the meds. I didn't like the pdoc I saw. All he wanted to do was give me things like Valium, Zoloft, and Ambien.

I emailed T for the third time today. I really want to call but it's too late. I'm a wreck but I need to try to sleep. I don't want antidepressants!!!
I mean extremely well by this comment , and I am definitely not comparing you to my dog. Gabapentin gave my dog bouts of sudden weakness, that stopped immediately once we backed off to a lower done. I know that may not be meaningful here, but I think of how extreme his reaction was to increased gabapentin and remember how scared I was.
