Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Well, I went to go see " Rhumy2.0 " (he's the 2nd rhumy I've seen). Oh. My Gosh! How refreshing it is to have someone who actually believes you! I went into the office with all my defenses up and I was really on guard thinking he might not believe me. But he knew about the disease and WANTS to help!!! He's an older man, and super friendly. He took me off of my Elavil and has put me on Ambien to see if I can sleep better on that - since I still wake up alot on the Elavil. I haven't filled the prescription yet, but I will soon. I was really really afraid he'd say something about taking vicoden. But he didn't say anything about it. Not a word. He's keeping me on Zoloft, since I've only been on it for about 3 weeks now and that really isn't enough time to see improvement yet. He seemed slightly concerned about the Adderall (not sure why), but after I told him I was diagnosed with ADHD and it helped to increase my energy, he didn't say too much else about it. He asked me about my job, and how I felt when I work there. I said I felt fine, as long as I take a vicoden in the morning and remember my Adderall - but that I was completely exhausted when I got home. But he smiled and said " But that's a good exhausted. " My mom was really afriad that he would tell me the job was one I shouldn't be doing. But I guess as long as *I* feel it's ok for me to be doing it, then it is! We only went through my history today, he wants to see me back in about a week or two after he gets my blood test results from my GP. Then he'll be able to know more. We'll also know if the Ambien is working or not. He wanted me to have a sleep study done too, but that was just suggested - like I said, more in a week or so. Ahhh, so nice to have an understanding doctor! I hope everyone else has has a good day! Loves and Hugs, - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
