Well, I'm back and my drama's coming with me.
Just a few key points, not the whole situation. First think is the psych issues. I'm going from being suicidally depressed to ok and back again, usually in the same day. Meds help with some things, but not the most important. I'm hypersensetive to drugs and a med change is out for me.
Then the somatic issues. fatigue and muscle pain. the pain doesn't seem as severe as some others I've read but it is enough to severely impact work and kid time. The fatigue is overwhelming. Even doing simple things is overwhelming.
My only doc is a pdoc. I've been seeing him almost a year to no avail. I only work part time. I have no insurance. My pdoc is on trade with my parent's business.
I don't know what to do. I'm going on unpaid medical leave for a couple of weeks. ER docs can't/won't diagnose my problems. I don't suppose I could just walk into a hospital and say, "Admit me." It seems psychologically I'm usually 1-3 steps from going to the psych ward anyway. My physical problems are only getting worse. This is hell on earth and something has to happen soon.
