> i wish i could clone my pdoc for all of you what have to put up with the subhumans i've read about far too many times here. here's why.
> one of my biggest problems is sleep. it takes clonopin(which i despise taking because of the visual distortions the next morning), serzone which i'm quite happy with except for its dream-recall destruction, benadryl and/or hydroxyzine, both of which do practically nothing due to my quick tolerance development, and a couple different vitamins that seem to help. taking all this would gag a goat, so my doc suggester small dose (25mg) seroquel in addition to a lowered dosage of clonopin. he even TOLD me to do my 'net research where i learned of a potentially fatal side effect-raising of the body temp-caused by all three he wanted me to research-seroquel/zyprexa/risperdal. initially i said no to all 3 but after he allayed my fears about seroquel-it appears to be the safest in small doses, i've decided to try it. he's going to provide me w/samples awa refill my clonopin scrip as i'm out of town starting friday. all this was discussed as he drove home @ 9:00 pm tonight. i wish you all had a doc like him. i'm damn glad i finally found a good one. all this was in returning a phone call i left this afternoon. he gave me no bs about calling at all. that first obese ----- i saw could take a few lessons from this guy. noa-if you're reading this-write to me about recumbents anytime and i'll happily lead you through the maze.
> had another small breakthrough the other night-i was dared to enter a flame-war. after laughing my ass off at what this "person" had written to me, i said to my self, "self? is that one twisted mister or what?" to which my self replied, "yep-twisted like a monkey's fist!!" after which said missive ended up in the trash and will forever recieve exactly as much of my time as it deserves-none.
> hope you all are well-it's off to coloraddy to find a home-again. wish me luck!!
> pclPaul, good luck to you! Sounds like your pdoc is working out. I too am very happy with my pdoc. He is a very intelligent and very caring. (Plus he is cute.) I have a lot of faith in him, and have been "straight" with him. This is the first time I've ever really felt therapy was helping. I always feel terrified when I go see him, because I don't just feel like I'm telling him what he wants to hear; I'm really changing (although it seems like very small steps, to me). Best wishes in your home hunting!--CIndy W
