I'm sorry if I came across rude. Just read a line in someone's response and I took it to heart. It did make me feel as if I didn't and don't care about my meds. Which I do. I have an appointment for tomorrow with my general practitioner. (Pcp? I guess. Lol. I don't know all the diff abbreviations in the states yet).

This has certainly been an unpleasant lesson. Yes I do have POTS. It's horrible. It happens at the most inconvenient times. I also suffer from extreme panic attacks. My body locks up with them and I physically shut down. Mentally trying but usually just can't.

My Drs (neurologist, pcp, pm etc) all think that its a coping mechanism from when I was abused by my ex.



On to the patches. Not sure yet of what's going to happen. But #1 is the most likely. My family dr knows me very well. He knows that I'm crazy safe with my meds and hate taking this stuff.

Anyway. Sorry if I was rude. Just anxious and *****y about everything.

I hope it goes well with your PCP tomorrow. Did you find your purse by chance? I hope that you found it, I would hate having to go through the mess of canceling the debit card & any credit cards, plus getting a replacement driver license.

No one was judging you by any means. I think that some of us just could not figure out why you took the box of patches with you to the hospital when you would only be there a couple of hours. When will you get the results of the HIDA Scan? I do hope it goes well tomorrow and hope your dr will be sympathetic to your plight. Take care.......Susie

I am so sorry you are so sick and it caused you to lose your meds. I know this is not the same thing because meds are life savers and all. But when i was very sick in Feb I went to the ER. I ended up getting admitted. I had a book with me about UC. It was the first book I had ever gotten about UC. I had carried it around with me so much it had ripped the cover. Then I got a chance to meet the author and she signed it for me. She thought it was so cool that I carried her book so much that I had taped it back together. I lost the book during the hospital stay. I was too sick to keep up with it. I assumed my husband would. He forgot we had it with us. I was so very upset. In an amazing twist of fate, she had given me her email address in the autograph. I had looked at it just before I lost it and I remembered it. I emailed her to ask if I got another copy and mailed it to her would she sign it again. She remembered me and sent me an autographed copy. So maybe something good could come out of this. Maybe it will keep you from losing a larger quantity later or maybe something else. Good luck tomorrow

I'm a big fan of the philosophy that everything happens for a reason. I know it sucks to lose meds...I had a *friend* steal an entire bottle from me while she was staying at my house about 4 years ago.

But who knows...maybe losing the box kept something worse from happening.

It sounds like you have a solid plan in place and since you have a great relationship with your PCP you'll probably get a replacement box.

Have you checked into the insurance side of things? Maybe if you call your carrier and explain the situation, they might cover them. Usually they don't, but it can't hurt to ask.

I think I'll be ok and everything will be covered. I'm angry at myself. I thought I might have to stay in. I get the results of the hida scan at 1pm cst Wednesday 24th. I'm a nervous wreck. Even though I know that my pcp is thinking about doing the surgery regardless of the results as I have had so many gall bladder attacks and my weight has dropped a lot.

I'm 5ft maybe 5ft1 and I have gone from 130lbs to 106lbs in less than a few months. I know stress and anxiety cause alot of that but if I eat anything fatty etc i just end up throwing up and other issues that I'm sure you all know about if your stomachs upset.

My immune system is also screwed. I have had reallllly bad kidney infections in the last couple of months. 5 in total and then a diff infection cos of the antibiotics. I'm allergic to most. Azithromyacin (z pac) I seem to be ok with. Ah well. I'm sure it will all work out.

I'll update after drs appointment. Fingers crossed I don't have to go through w/d.

I wish I could have a body upgrade lol. cry
