Okay, bear with me, being in Australia things work a little differently over here sometimes. Call your GP asap in the morning and tell them you are falling apart and it's very important you have an appointment. Tell them you want to go on the cancellation list (or alternatively over here if you ring at 8:30am you can usually nab someone's spot who has just cancelled even though the surgery is technically not open yet). If that doesn't work could you maybe take your prescription to another chemist and if they say anything tell them you are waiting for an appointment on Friday (they can check with your Dr if they want to) but in the meantime you are physically falling apart and that your symptoms make life impossible to live normally and that you have a LOT of stuff you have to do before Friday (sometimes sob stories work with a sympathetic chemist ) Ummm be careful with Benadryl. I was taking it last week for a cold and it gave me major D attacks not to mention the pain. I find lying in bed with a heat pack on a sore tum and repeating for about 5 minutes "relax and let go" helps to get me relaxed. Then concentrate on every muscle in your body for a few minutes each and relax them. As you do it say in your head "feel the muscles in your forehead relax. Make them smooth and let the tension go" do this for all the muscles right down to your toes (including belly and bum muscles he he). In between keep telling yourself to relax and let go. When you have relaxed all your muscles picture yourself on a cloud and let it take you to a peaceful place and just stay in your peaceful place and hopefully soon after you will start to drift away Ummm that's about all I can think of for now. I hope at least something out of this helps. Good luck and keep us updated
