I've been such a mess lately. It's like I'm in a constant state of pre-meltdown. Like any moment I'm about to loose it.


So after a week of fretting on what to wear(one of my hang ups)

Brandi:

It isn't just you - I think a lot of us do the same thing with regard to procrastinating on things relating to our BP. More then once I have run myself out of meds completely because I just didn't call for refills - even though I HAVE authorized refills and the money to pay for them....I just wait until it is urgent.

PLEASE make a note for yourself (or several of them)and put them in places that you will frequently see them to remind you to call and make an appointment - don't forget it CAN take a couple months to get in to see someone new. OR, ask your dh to call for you if you are comfortable with that.

The holidays are horrible for most of us, and even for all of those people without BP (or any other illness). There is just so much stress associated with them that is makes them rough. You'll get through it, as will we all :).

Keep posting and take care of yourself :)

Brandi,


I have a perfectly normal MALE friend who is absolutely terrified of spiders--we'd been friends for several years and somehow I never knew that.

Hi Brandi,

I went through this when I had to fire my last pdoc. He was just dangerous. There aren't many pdocs in this area. On top of that my insurance company only covers few. I just didn't even want to look. So I didn't look until my doc made me sit down in her office and start dialing. Like Keli said you just have to do it or have your dh do it. Being w/o meds isn't pretty and it will effect both of you.

I'm sorry about your Christmas experience. It Sounds Horrible.

Take care of you and keep on posting. It's nice to know I not alone with this problem.

Love,

Jamie

Thanks everyone!! I really appreciate all your kind words and support. It's soooo nice to know I'm not the only one who feels like this because this disease seems so lonely.


Again thanks for your responses, they meant alot to me.
