wow. exactly what i expected it would be like dan. uh, thanks? (smile)i just took one of the two pills i have left .....i already am in considerable pain...and YES, proud to say i made a copy of the pain chart from this website and have started a journal! i just have chronic, 24/7 stabbing jabbing dull sharp spinal pain. end of story. right now, naturally, it is NOT being treated well.

i talked with the doctor on call for my internist who fired me yesterday; he was basically very pompous and useless. started out with "yea yea yeah, i know ALLLLLL about it, i called your doctor and she told me".

great. great beginning for me, right?

he didn't even know the half life of xodol! i had to look it up myself,w hich is neither here nor there, i just needed to know. unfortunately it happens to be 3.8 hours. not a very good situation. i have one pill left. i thought perhaps my doctor would at this point in time allow the early refill, so i called the pharmacy at 8am, when they open. guess what dan? the message i received after punching in my prescription number was "that number does not match anything in our system." wow. can a doctor DO something like that, cancel out a prescription?

i am so freaked out. i don't WANT the worst flu ever!!! i am terrified of withdrawal.

i did figure out yesterday though that going to the ER as a pre-emptive strike, so to speak, is not the right thing to do. nobody there has the time to take my whole freaking history, and be compassionate to my situation. they do ER care. so i WILL have to wait until i am in withdrawal because I DON"T HAVE A DOCTOR NOW...and i certainly can't go out looking for one when in withdrawal now can i? so my internist has me in a corner, out of anger i would imagine. how very sad. must be when i left the message that i now know she broke state laws and federal regulations by refusing to let me see my records.

i am scared.
