Pdoc is ignoring my issues

BipolarPrincess

Caseworker told me I was manic when I saw her the last few times and the last time I saw my pdoc she ignored the issue. Maybe I should have my caseworker talk to my pdoc. Pdoc won't treat my symptoms.

I am getting worse and worse.....more higher each day and more paranoid and panicky.....

I am afraid for my life!!!!!!!!!

Yes, have your caseworker talk to your pdoc. Sounds like a good idea.

If your pdoc cant see you are manic or treat you for it then I would get a new pdoc, as this is a very serious matter which needs to be addressed a.s.a.p. x Good luck :)

Hey Princess,

Unfortunately, I think our caseworkers and nurse practitioners are tuned into things more than our pdocs.

I would definitely have your caseworker talk to your pdoc about your situation. Do not let your situation go on any longer than it has to. A few weeks ago, I was manic and did not address it immediately and almost ended up in the hospital because I was psychotic.

Please do not let the same thing happen to you.

Hugs,

Christa

I agree. I would encourage your caseworker to speak to her pdoc. Do they ever speak?

I agree. And if that doesn't work, get a new pdoc.

How do you get a caseworker?

I'd love to have someone to talk to,at the times my Pdoc isn't available.

Is it part of your insurance plan?

I'm sorry your Pdoc seems to ignore your symtoms,and I agree w everyone,bring up the issue ,or seek another opinion..mania escalates to phycosis fast

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
