How often do you see your pdoc and tdoc
| Wed, 04-06-2005 - 7:49pm |
I'm going to therapy once a month now, just found out today. But I'm still going to be seeing the pdoc weekly. I'm just kinda wondering what others are doing.
TIA

I see my pdoc about every 3 months now and have for about the last year or so--before that is was every month (if not sooner) when we were doing lots of med changes, then every 2 months when things started leveling off some.
That all depends. I've seen the pdoc 3 times and the tdoc will be 3 times as of tomorrow. Right now I will see the pdoc frequently (last week, today, and next thursday) because there is so major dx & rx going on (sick of a new dx every time I talk to someone!) plus bloodwork. So until things get stable it will be frequent. After that I bet it will be a month or less...she is so busy (already booked until May)
The tdoc seems to be just as busy and I have only been able to see her about once a month too, but I see my disability counsellor more than that usually (probably evey 2 weeks or so).
This will all change over time, and as the situation changes. The pdoc wants me to see a specialist in psychotic disorders too. Like I need still more people to add to my list of appointments! Oh ya I was seeing my family every 2 weeks until recently. Now I've made a 1 month appointment. So between all this it's an average of 2 appts a week!
Things will change again when I get into the mental health clinic.
And I'm rambling on about this because...?

I see my tdoc every week and I see my pdoc every 2 weeks. Right now I am not very stable so I am seeing them alot right now. Everyone is different depending on how severe there situation is. I hope your tdoc and pdoc help you. Good luck.
