Aw, thank you WC and Purple. You are both so kind and encouraging.

I'm a bit wacko with this. Because of the depression/anxiety/physical immobility I felt yesterday, I took the 20mgs. last night. So far, I feel better. Good Lord...I'm at a loss. Perhaps I really did have a virus.

I asked the receptionist, who is very sweet, if my pdoc is leaving the clinic. The receptionist said, "No...she's just taken a sudden medical leave..." But she sounded unsure. Vague. I have had the experience four times times over the past three years in which my pdoc left the clinic without informing me (or other patients) first. That left me absolutely no time to set something up with another pdoc - and of course no time to emotionally prepare for never seeing the pdoc again in my life. I have an appointment set up for Sept. 10th, but that doesn't mean a thing - the appointment could be cancelled last minute. I wish I'd stop fretting over this. Ah, well.
