What we are currently working on in T is making things worse for me at the moment. I am praying this is a temporary thing. I am blaming the stressball I turn into the day before T on that.

The doctor who prescribes my meds (Primary care dr) asked me a bunch of questions at my appointment today. "Are you functioning OK at work?" "Are things going well with your husband?" ...all of which I could say "yes" to. Had she asked, "Do you feel like you are going to crawl out of your skin out of sheer disappointment in yourself at random times during the day?" I would have had to say yes as well. But then I think if she had asked that she wouldn't have then suggested to me I am doing so well maybe we could consider weaning me off my meds starting in the spring "if I felt like that was a good idea." I almost laughed out loud. She is obviously not a fly on the wall at my T appointments.

"Are you still seeing the therapist?" she asked. When I told her I was, she said maybe I could discuss it with him.

Something tells me he won't be suggesting spring.

When you write this, was your doctor wanting to discuss weaning you off medication with your T or was she suggesting YOU talk with your T about d/c the medication?

I think we often do a good job of appearing "fine" on the outside. During my recent trip to the hospital for surgery, I think on the outside I appeared quiet and calm. However the HR and BP monitor told a different story. I was really glad when the anesthesiologist noticed it while we were alone and I was able to squeak out that I was stressed. It's hard sometimes to get doctors to understand what is really going on without totally losing it in front of them.
