Right now I am on a train to Prague. We'll spend time with some friends and Hubby's family. For some reason a great anxious feeling of unwellness came over me. I confess to taking an Ativan. My antibiotic treatment hasn't helped with that as it also worsens my issues with indigestion and heartburn, making me feel like I will keel over with a heart attack. Ativan helps me with this 99% of the time, unless I abuse it, which I haven't for years. Both my pdoc and tdoc told me I should skip it. Eventually my US supply will run out. They don't prescribe Ativan (lorazepam) in Czech Republic. They have other benzos, but are reluctant to prescribe them.

Masks are still required in public transportation and medical-related places, so I'm wearing one now. I am fully in support of masks, but it adds stress. It's always a sauna for me. When my anxiety builds I also have issues with sweating. It's like a Catch 22 situation.

Hugs to all here!
