So.... I've been left in the lurch again by the mental health team. I was told to persevere with Lyrica on Wednesday and not take my sleeping tablet until Moday when the doctor would review my case, and prescribe temazepam if I needed it. This sounded too good to be true at the time. It's nearly four thirty and I haven't heard back from either the social worker or the pdoc. I tried to send the social worker two text messages, but got an error message saying 'Incorrect Number'. I've tried ringing her cell phone from both my landline and my cell phone and got no response. How am I supposed to take this? I'm left in limbo not knowing what's happening. We were discussing in my T appointment last week how stressful it is to be kept in the dark, not knowing the score.
I feel very let down by both of them. It's odd because my social worker has always been very good about getting back to me, but in the last two weeks I've felt she might be starting to ignore me. I really don't want to be a nuisance - I know she's a busy person and has other clients besides me. Still, how much effort would it take to make a quick phone call or text? This is what's she's paid to do. To be honest I haven't been taking the Lyrica because I could tell it just wasn't the right drug for me and the side effects were serious. If I had gone without the zopiclone I'd be in a very bad state by now, still hoping for some relief. Do they realise how painful it is to have your means of support cut off like that? I can tell already (barring some miracle) I'll be getting no relief today. Still I keep hoping. Shouldn't I have learned better by now?
