Another day of struggling

Ingraine

so sorry that the clinic messed up so bad. i cant imagine how rough the weekend must have been. i hope now that it is monday that they get your rx refilled and you can start to feel better again soon. i hate how some places just dont even seem to care if it has nothing to do with them. they just dont understand that actions like that have such a big affect on our lives and sometimes can be even life threatening. sometimes i wish that just for even one day some of these doctors, and therapist, and professionals could live a day in our bodies just to see what it is like to be us. to feel and see what we see so they can understand what it is like. then maybe they would treat us better and view us in a much more positive way. i am just glad to know you made it through this weekend safe and hopefully after today you can start to feel better. please keep us updated on how you are feeling.

Phoned D right away, explained it all. Was given instructions to get pharmacy to fax med requests and it would be taken care of. Did so and so did the pharmacy. The clinic is closed Friday, Sat, Sun with no doctors until April 18. One of my meds is not to be discontinued suddenly. Well...the pharmacy never received anything back from the clinic. Now, I have spent the last four days AND nights with severe panic attacks that are escalating in frequency and severity. I cannot go to ER or Urgent Care as this is not a life or limb threatening emergency. I would be severely ridiculed, treated abusively, and still not receive the needed medications before being shown the door. Four days and nights. Slight visual hallucinatory activity is beginning, the content of which is not very pleasant, but I've always handled this phenomenon quite well. So again, I do not even qualify as an urgent psychiatric situation right now according to our current healthcare standards. Is it just me, or is there something wrong with a health care system that would refrain from treating a person in distress just because it's a 'psych' problem? If this were a bladder infection or a small laceration, then I'd be more than welcome to receive aid. Sorry for saying this, but the system has its whole head up its butt. I'm exhausted and just a teeny, tad peeved so I'm definitely cranky at the moment. Maybe tomorrow when the clinic opens again, they can figure out what went wrong, and maybe even fix it. Maybe...pretty please. Okay...I've had my little whine for the day so I'm off in hunt of tea lightly seasoned with a pound of sugar.
