I wanted to thank everyone for their support - Mair and Sarah and everyone, I forget all the names and probably messed up on Mairs...sorry. :(
Okay, the family doctor was so upset about my psychiatrist that she decided that it was not a good day to do my internal, can you believe that? She was appalled at the things I was telling her, how my quality of life has just gone to zero with this guy and so she picked up the phone HERSELF and made an appointment for me with a woman who is a friend of hers but is also a psychiatric nurse practioner, so she is going to give me talk therapy and then make med recommendations to my new doctor (who I'm just thrilled with.) She was so nice to me that I literally cried.
She also set me up with a nutritionist, I showed her the print out of my food diary, it has the totals of where my calories come from and where they get burned, and the breakdown of evrything I eat and do...she was so helpful, and she said from the looks of it, like you said Sarah, I'm in starvation mode and can't go on like that. The new panic doc (nurse) appointment is for Monday - she actually gave up her lunch break to see me, like a favor or something for my doctor, I just can't believe how nice this lady is. Anyway, the nutrionist is set up for April 7th, the day after I get back from a cross country trip to visit my family (and make arrangements for moving to Virginia.)...now I feel like I've found the most supportive, kind, generous and caring doctor in the universe and I am moving in a few months, but maybe these next few months will make a big difference, I feel good about it, I feel like there's hope, really - maybe there is!
God, I feel like maybe there really is a way out of this - I won't have to see my old pDoc again, I feel like a million pounds just got lifted off my shoulders! She was so appalled at how he's been treating me, I mean - just livid! It was so reassuring!!
Anyway, I will keep all of you posted and Sarah, I weigh 230 pounds. I can't wait to talk with the nutritionist and figure everything out and maybe there's a way for me to lose weight and be on medicine that helps, wouldn't that be just wonderful??
Thanks so much for being here for me...
Lisa
