1) Make all the appointments you can make right now.
2) Obtain proof of your past treatment. Empty pill bottles or a copy of your medical history (which you are legally entitled to) should suffice. This will allow you to verify your need for treatment at either a walk-in medical treatment center or for an emergency room visit if you should go that route.
3) Develop a positive attitude. Yes, I KNOW how bad you may be feeling, but please try to find something good about your current situation.
It may be that we are still alive or that things have been worse before. You are reaching out to people and that in itself is a positive sign.4) If you cannot wait why not contact your previous doctors or treatment center? Do you have any idea which way your treatment should be headed? If meds helped in the past, perhaps a refill might hold you over for a bit?
I am probably saying nothing new to you. I am just suggesting that you have more control over the situation than you think. Best wishes,
dave
p.s. Some hospitals are better than others. Just in case you do need to go, ask around for the better ones.
