what now - going insane

[fiona6163]

I got an appt today with an endo (February 27th) what am I to do until then.  I think im going insane, i feel the same as yesterday and the day before and the day before that and the day before that.  Everyone keeps asking me how I feel like it just goes away.  The endos office wouldnt answer any of my questions since im not a patient yet.  I do have an appt with pcp on thursday just so that i can talk to her rather than the nurses.  They basically tell me none of this is related to hashis.  I missed work again today and cant stay awake for more than one hour.  Please help

Did your PCP refer you to the Endo?  Sometimes that helps you get in quicker - you might mention it to the PCP and see what they can do...

I've been waiting for about 3 mos. for my appt on Friday.  My GYN said, "Well, at least you know they might be good if you can't get in right away".  Not exactly what I wanted to hear! But she's probably right.  I know good Docs are like good Hairdressers - booked far in advance.

Get as much sleep as you can at night - no caffeine after 2pm (or earlier - because it affects the body for around 8 hours).  When you start to feel the "sleepies" go for a walk around the building - sometimes it helps to get the blood flowing.  That's what I do. :)  Try not to eat any refined sugars or carbohydrates (crackers, chips, breads, cookies, candy) - it may kick you up for a few minutes (get your blood sugar up) but when it comes down you will feel sleepy.  I try to avoid that stuff in the afternoons.

Good thoughts coming your way Fi - hang in there!

So sorry about all this  and I feel for you as Feb 27th is a long time away.  Is there another Endo that may be a further drive but earlier appt?  Just an idea.
