Kat,
Ummm, do you ever sleep? Lol. If you're not researching, then you're typing to us, and if not typing to us, then preparing for your show. You're going to burn out, lady. Do what all the kitty kats are doing these days. SLEEP. *smile*
Please don't think that you need to take this on as a project. Everything will be fine. I have a feeling you're a perfectionist. Don't worry about it. Now...if my bank account suddenly dropped to zero.....okay, then I'd be yelling to high Heaven for ANYONE and EVERYONE to help me. Lol.
But I lived without medications until March 25th, 2003. I still keep all my University agendas. Crazy, huh? Just looking through it now, how the HECK was I doing all those assignments and term papers and clinicals and FINALS just as I was beginning to take Zoloft (my very first foray into the exciting world of psychopharmacology)??? And I had to stop that med because it made me feel like I was outside my body. And all this while making A's and B's!!!!! I'd be lucky to even know where to locate an A or a B in the alphabet now! LOL.
Anyways, way off track. I just meant to say that you don't need to spend so much time on trying to figure out this riddle. Humans run PharmaCare. And sometimes just the right person (or the wrong person) making a decision impacts on the outcome of a patient's chances of receiving an exception status med. I'm aware of that. I've accepted that. I don't fight anymore. It doesn't take a whole heck of a lot of stress anymore in my life to crash my coping systems, and so I know when to back down. And who knows? Maybe my brain chemistry has changed enough that I really don't need such hard core meds anymore. Just keep me supplied with the Klonopin (bad things happen when I run out!!!! You don't want to know. But I know this, and so this is something that I *would* fight for). I also know that I need the Inderal LA or I'm going to have one panic attack after another when I feel my heart beating in my head, fingers, stomach, back....all those lovely places....so again, I'd fight for that med.
I think I'm rambling. Am I? Not too sure anymore. Seems like an awfully long sentence!! LOL!
I'll stop it here.
Sandy
