When I’m very ill I get paranoid so seeing a new pdoc at that point could be disastrous. Even the pdoc interviewing me yesterday agreed it would not work.

Sigh. So, I wasted my time and energy (and my parents who took me as I’m too ill to drive right now), and have to go to my GP get a new referral and try to get an appointment with a new pdoc that also came recommended. I have confirmed she works at the hospital I usually go to. I just hope I can see her soon. Right now I’m ok mentally, but I would hate to have a crisis without a pdoc. At least I got some scripts to get me through two to three months.

Physically, I’ve never felt worse. I think I have some benzo withdrawals on top of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome flare-up. Total exhaustion, weakness, and dizziness with stomach issues as well. Thankfully, I am not anxious. There is nothing I can do but rest and eat good food and avoid the bad. I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful. It is tough.
Glad the meeting went well. Prayed for you.

Hang tough.
