Update, Trying To Stay Positive.
Went to the doctor on Thursday about the Shortness of breath, acid reflux, anxiety, and the mole that was hurting.
1. Acid reflux she prescribed me Nexum because the prevacid wasn't working OR at least she tried to but Nexum at Kaiser must be prescribed by a specialist which I wouldn't mind seeing a GI specialist because the acid reflux is what I think is causing my shortness of breath.
2. Anxiety she prescribed me celexa 10mg to start she asked if I wanted more but I didn't want anything to start with so I am going to start with the lowest dose possible. She also sent a referral to Mental Health so I could see a therapist. Have an appointment in two weeks to fill out some paperwork and have orientation
3. Mole they took a picture and sent it off to the dermitology department. They looked at it and said that it didn't look bad but since it was hurting they should take a closer look at it. That appointment is next week. It has since stop hurting but I have some other moles they should also look at so I will still be going. My family has a history with skin cancer so I try to be cautious.
The appointment it self wasn't great I think she is tried of me coming in with different symptoms and new fears. She was very impatient with me, so I guess we will see if I need to see a new doctor or not. I left her a message yesterday about seeing the specialist she hasn't called me back but at all but she has until Monday to call me back. It will be to bad if I do have to get a new doctor I liked her.
Also the Celexa has side effects. Lots of them. I take it at night because the phama. said that it makes some people sleepy. Which I was thinking awesome, I have trouble sleeping so that would actually be great. She also briefly mention it also can be a stimulant for some people but not a lot of them. I wasn't worried after all I am a mellow person(usually). Well I should have been because oh my goodness, I woke up the first morning around 4:30am completely amped. I manged to doze but never got fully back to sleep when I finally gave it up around 6:30am I felt like I could run a marathon without any problems what so ever. That lasted till mid morning but I had no anxiety so I was (for the most part) okay with it. I also have dry mouth which means I am drinking a lot of water. So at least I am hydrated. So I was thinking I can handle this I just have to wait it out because it can take 2 weeks to a month for the med. to all smooth over. BUT then I woke up this morning and my anxiety was through the roof like as bad as I have ever had it. (I mean like curl up into a fetal postition and cry type of anxiety) Once again by mid-morning it was better but not completely gone. I don't like my anxiety being worse but once again I know I have to wait and see how it goes at least for the two weeks.
I am going on vacation tomorrow and I don't want my anxiety and the side effects to effect the vacation. So I am praying for a good couple of days!
