Oh yeah, and about this random GP- I'm hoping 1) he'll script me for the enxt two months I'm out-of-state for Provigil and Ambien and 2) the two will work and I can feel less like hell during the day.
If he says no, and doesn't care how chronic this problem is with me, I'm likely to fly home for a week and see my doctor to review my sleep study results.
My ER doctor wanted me to see a sleep disorders specialist in the same hospital. Problem is, my appt. is for Aug. 21. Some good that'll do, I already have a sleep doc. appt. for 9/2!
My pulmonary specialist is now really confused, I thought I told him when I first met with him I would be out-of-state for three months, and would see him in September. And this is of course all just to rule out the possibility of apnea and so forth in a 19 yr. old 170 lb. 6'3'' healthy male!
But he seems very concerned and accomodating, cc'd emails to his two nurse practioners, and will meet with them to review my case "asap this AM". He also said he will fit me in to see me if I had a chance to get back home before September (big accomodation for someone who's at a research hospital with a 6 mon. waiting list).
Basically, all this because my psychopharmacologis is ignoring my countless messages. I even paged him two days ago. What a jerk! I thought he would be fine before this happened.
