I requested a refill of my meds and my pdoc says she wants to see me before she authorizes it. I only have 10 days left and she's in only twice a week, I hope I can get an appointment with her before I run out.
My anxiety is way up. It's been up for many months now but I think I need to make clear that I need help to cope with it.
I wear a Fitbit to track my sleep and activity and it has been congratulating me that I've had my heart rate at over 100 for a couple of hours each day. I didn't pay much attention to that for a while but when I looked back at what I was doing at the time, I wasn't doing anything at all. Just working or reading etc. And my heart is going over 100! I looked back at this and it has been going on for months!
I used to be on gabapentin but I don't like taking all those big pills 3-4 times a day. I really don't know what else she could do to help me, but I guess that's why she's the doctor. I also used to be on Ativan but I guess that's a benzo which I think they're cutting back on overall.
