edit/better explanation of the second paragraph below: my pdoc's gynecologist friend said the med she'll prescribe is only $10/month which is much cheaper than paying out of pocket for what my PCP was willing to prescribed but isn't covered by my insurance. That's affordable so it's just a matter of what appointments with her will cost if I start seeing her.



The two days I had to be off of Wellbutrin and risperidone wen't well-I started taking them again yesterday. My autonomic test results (based on what I can see online-no call from the doctor yet) look like I'll probably be dismissed by this neurologist and/or he'll put it on record that he thinks it's all in my head. One test came back abnormal but, despite light headedness and my feet getting so cold they turned colors and my toes went numb during the tilt table test, those results are considered normal since my blood pressure and heart rate stayed in an okay range. It feels like a dead end but we'll see I guess.

A positive bipolar treatment move is that my pdoc's friend who is a gynecologist is willing to see me about using birth control to suppress my periods to help control my moods! I'll have to see what she'll ask in regards to money though since I don't think my insurance will cover-I'm guessing my PCP can't refer me to her because I think she's in a different hospital/doctor network than what my PCP is part of. It's to late to call her office today so I'll do that tomorrow.
