I'd much rather be hypo! Wouldn't we all?) I have gotten to where I am very groggy and light-headed until 5pm the following day. I will be decreasing at least one med tonight. I just cannot function otherwise. I see her on Friday. I will inform her then and, hopefully, I will see the effects of the decrease so she can take it from there.
I was just thinking about what it might be like if I decided to go without meds and without a pdoc? I am wondering how I will afford to see my pdoc in the near future. I honestly do not think I'd make it. So, I'll keep on trying. I do appreciate my pdoc so very much! She's very bright, very experienced, ultra compassionate and FUN!!! Her"aura" is both peaceful and JOYful!!! What a smile!!!  She just naturally has the traits of a "healer." I don't think she realizes this. I will have to tell her this week!!!
Do you like and/or appreciate your pdoc and/or tdoc? Have you told him/her? I think many of them work hard and thoughtfully. Most are very invested in their clients. Many are exposed to a lot of tragedy. Maybe they'd like to hear a bit of positive feedback from us? Just a random thought.

I’m thrilled you have a good pdoc you think highly of!
Great minds! You know I had to change recently from my pdoc of 17 years. I’ve written him a thank you note and told him how much I appreciated his care and his keeping me alive all these years. I’ll give it to him August 5th when I see my NP.
My NP is not my pdoc but she is younger and is giving me good tools to work with. She also consults with him on med changes which is a plus.
