Am reading The Loch by Steve Alten. It's a fictional story about Loch Ness. The author presents an interesting take on Nessie.

I loved at a radar pic a few minutes ago. I suspect the glare is from change in pressure related to TS Barry.

I am not in much pain today.

probably because I am doing nothing to warrant the pain in the first place.

I got a voice mail this past Monday from my PCP's office staff stating that she will no longer be seeing her private patients.

This just 10 days before my next follow-up appointment!

The reason? ... She wants to only serve as a supervisor to residents and interns from the local medical school now!

Furthermore, the doctor she recommended as a referral isn't even on my insurance plan!

Had this been due to an unforeseen family or medical emergency, it would've been more understandable and not hit so hard.

But the way she went about it (and the reason why) is totally unprofessional in my opinion.

Naught I can do about it, though, except start looking for a new PCP and start over.

It took me quite a while to start trusting the medical community again ...

Needless to say, what little bit of trust I'd built back up over the past few years just took a huge hit!

I sure hope she's teaching better than what the hell she just practiced right there!

I just returned from church.

mostly okay, though some small babies (and I mean really small) spent a lot of the service running about, crying, and generally screaming (which begs the question why allow babies in a church?)
I sat their for as long as I could, but then started to feel a panic attack coming on so took a taxi home.

10 days notice via voicemail?!? No wonder you are angry. At least give people more notice and do it in writing. I wonder if something happened and she is no longer allowed to see patients?

That said, I'm going to play devil's advocate. I think y'all know I'm a therapist. I've known people who stopped seeing clients and only do supervision because they are just too worn out by the profession to see clients. Maybe something similar happed with your doc?

I just left a post in the social forum with a blatant request for hugs. Something extremely stressful happened at work today. I'm afraid it's going to trigger a flare. Anyone have any ideas how to avoid a glare? Please don't tell me not to stress over it. Way too late for that

in quite a bit of pain today and all i've done (in the whole day) is get some cola from the shop

it's days like this when I realise I really don't manage my pain well (in fact I don't believe I manage any of my illnesses well)

@lizardlady ... I'm doing alright ... Sorry to hear you are having a flare ... Those suck extra badly!

I have an appointment with a new Primary Care Physician in a whole different practice this morning and am hoping it goes well.

Needless to say, after what happened with my other PCP last week, my ability to trust the medical community is once again on extremely shaky ground!

I have wondered if the reason provided is the real one or a cover for something else that may have happened.

Regardless, like the Dixie Chicks song says - I ain't ready to make nice!

About all I'm looking for right now is a place to get a basic yearly check-up, a place to go to when I get sick with a cold or something like that in between those, and a PCP that can make referrals to specialists when and if needed.

Other than that ...

Fibromyalgia Check-In Thread #5 ...

Pfrog, good luck with the new doc. I wonder if docs know how hard/stressful it is to find a new one.

I agree, there's something off about how your last one stopped seeing patients.

I'm sure current flare is the result of outrageous stress at work. Found out yesterday that my boss and his boss have my back against some shyte being thrown at me. Knowing that helps with my stress. Plus I start a week off tomorrow!

Enjoy your time off, @lizardlady!

I like my new PCP and her staff right nicely!

She's pretty sure I do have lupus ... Waiting on lab and biopsy to confirm.

If it is lupus, that's a horrible condition to have, but ...

At least we can start treating it and hopefully mitigate some of the crappiness I've been feeling.

I'd be happy with just feeling 25% less crappy than I've felt here lately!

yesterday I had my shower, and it was so painfull (to the point where it took me like 50 minits to recover from it)

I was in pain for much of yesterday, today's a bit better- but I didn't get any sleep last night because of my back (ugg) and it's killing me- the back, that is. not that I didn't get any sleep (I'm used to that one).

Pfrog, that's great news about your new doc. Not great news about possible lupus, but it will be good to have an answer.

Reading up on Lupus ... Whew Boy!, what a convoluted mess it is! ... But, I sure am getting a lot of answers to all the WTF's I've had about how fast my health has gone south on me these past couple of years ... But even further back than that (starting about 10 years ago), all those inexplicable things that are now no longer so inexplicable (and though random also make perfect sense and fit together like a macabre puzzle) ... Ama-Za-Za-Zing!

Pfrog, that's how I felt when I got my fibro diagnosis. OMG about what was to come, but it explained soooooo much.
