It sounds like you need at least a fill in dr if not another dr.

I would definately get a therapist that is in more than two weeks out of a month. Especially if you are feeling so poorly right now. You need to know you can count on them. Hugs

My doc did that all the time. but what do you expect... all that education and stuff, they had to earn something aside from 360k a yr. ARGH! Dont get me started... but on another not Abilify absolultly saved my life. It started working in a matter of days at a low dosage. I really hope this works for you, it was a night and day difference.
Good luck sweetie

    it is like having toothache all over my body - worst ever. Did way too much on sat night (dancing!) and now I am paying the price for having fun for a change!brain scan result was unclear so repeating it on 27th plus a spinal cord scan which unfortunately will delay my rheumatology appointment even more.I wish someone would just knock me out right now.

    Wow I can not count the years ago I was here many times a day. About 5+ years ago Life took me on other paths and being here was not a daily necessity anymore. Hello to my old friends still here. Greetings to those I have yet to meet. I am here now out of a desire to communicate, but not a need to be, which is a good feeling. I will talk about that more in the future... Until the next time......
