I had nothing to do today, no doctor appointments, nothing! I needed this. Since I talked to Dr. R. about going down on my Tegretol, I started today, he said since I'm at 800mg, I have to go down slowly. Starting by going down 100mg every 2 weeks until I'm at 500mg. Then I need to see him in 6 weeks and I'll have to stay at that level for awhile. But he said if anything feels weird call him immediately.
I called Dr. G's office and asked them about the referral to the Infectious Disease Doctor. Why wasn't I given the referral in the first place, then I could have made the appointment on Monday. I called and made the appointment for October 22. I mean how can I have had Mono this entire time and not infected anyone? I guess I'll have to wait and see what he says I have. The office is on the way other part of town, which sucks but I need to find answers. Wait...this sounds oddly familiar. I think for the last almost three and a half-years I have been saying that I need to find answers. The medical community gets paid, if they think not very much, then the patients can't be blamed, because they agree to take my insurance plan.
My dad keeps saying that if I say 'I'm losing my insurance' then I would get a quick answer. I just laugh, he's funny. Also, when my Grandpa was alive he would always say you have to make sure what they are telling you the right thing. I respect some of my providers that take the time to listen and care, really care. Another day is over.
