Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC
Funny you should say that!! He didn't show up. Lucky I called exactly at my appointment time, because I saved myself a trip.
THEN they told me they're not refilling my AD prescription, the methacarbanol (like soma) plus the donatal until I see the doc!!
Since he's cancelled 2 months in a row I haven't seen him for 3 months! Since it is a free clinic (you're asked to make a $20 donation), they have a rule about seeing the doc every time I get medications.
I ended up crying on the phone, saying I have mono, and the AD and soma are addictive and I'll go through withdrawals in addition to being sick. She's like, "Fine. Come in on Thursday and I'll have them ready" !! (???!?!?!!) SO AGGRAVATING!!
I ended up calling my fibro clinic in Pennsylvania to talk to the friendly receptionist, Stephanie. I gguess that was kinda weird, huh? I guess I could have called one of my friends on the boards, but it's like I don't want to be a bother because everyone's going through their own stuff...
It was so good hearing a friendly voice. She told me the fibro doc would give me a call and she said she couldn't believe no one had given anything for the mono. I love my fibro clinic. Just hearing that made me feel better.
I have dropped 9 pounds since Friday (4 days). 9 pounds I can't afford to lose!!
