I'm nervous how serious she's going to be. I hate seriousness. What if new pdoc is super serious? Then you'll deal with it. Or you'll find another provider. This is something you can't control so this is really just a "what if" and those just are awful. I'm terrible with what ifs so I know.

Can I refuse injections? Yes. They only can force them if court ordered.

What if s/he doesn't work with me? Again, a what if that you can't control and which worrying about won't help. Most pdocs are there to help so the chances are she'll work with you.

What if T says it's an emergency or wants to talk to H?
If it's an emergency then you'll have to deal with that then. If she wants to talk to your husband and you don't want her to then she can't.

I'm not a threat to my self or other can they force treatment? No, those are the only reasons they can put you in the hospital. The only reasons you can be forced to take meds is if a court orders it, usually during a hospital stay I think.

\What if pdoc says I have SzA? Then it's only a word, just a label and all it says is that you may need treatment a different way than someone with BP alone.


I'm so worried they'll want me on more/different meds. So you'll talk to her and tell her that until recently this has been working well so can she increase the dose for at least a while. They aren't going to yank away meds that work just for fun.

What if he wont fill disolvable medications?
Why wouldn't he?

What if he doesn't bargain or is heavy handed on meds?
Then you deal with that then. Right now there is nothing you can do about it because again it is a what if.

Chances are good this will be a perfectly nice person who wants to work with you. I know not all pdocs are like that but a lot are.

I'm so scared. I want to throw up and cancel.
Try to not worry so much. YOu don't even meet this person for a month, right? Don't let the anxiety control you. It will be ok.
