I'm in the middle of a hassle. I've been trying to find a psychiatrist in Jacksonville or Springfield. I contacted one doctor in Jacksonville, and he asked for my medical records. Easter Seals, where I went to in Michigan, sat on the request for quite a while, but finally sent them. The doctor has never gotten back to me since then (over a month now). (Yes, I have called him several times, to be told that he is "reviewing" my medical records, which I translate as "they're sitting on his desk and he hasn't looked at them yet".) I called another doctor, but she's booked solid for three months. When I left Easter Seals, my doctor left some prescriptions at the pharmacy in case there was a lag in my health coverage. Last month, my mom picked up those prescriptions. I asked her to pick them up this month, to find that there was no more refills. I called my doctor, but was told that I needed to talk to a manager, who was out last week, because my case is closed. Later today, I'm off to the emergency room to see if I can get meds to tide me over. Monday morning, I'm off to a community mental health clinic to see if they can get me to a doctor quickly.
This is so stupid. I'm trying to do the right thing, but the system is conspiring to get me off my meds. And people wonder why there's a mental health crisis in America....
And of course, this is playing out alongside my gall bladder issues. I swear, if I ever get all my health issues resolved, I'm never taking time off of work again...or at least not for a long time. At least my boss is understanding.
