Well, that's better.

azdesertroseFinally, after much fucking around with the Medicare website, which is a pain to use and tends to have bad contact information, I found a p-doc who a) takes Medicare b) I don't owe money to and c) is not a known asshat.
I don't know if I'm still friends with anybody who remembers, but a couple of years ago, I saw a psychiatrist (exactly once) who had the gall to ask me if what my dad did was "just statutory rape" or if I had resisted. I was too shocked to be pissed right at first and then I completely lost my cool. I couldn't believe a PSYCHIATRIST would ask a question like that. He was on the Medicare list. Needless to say, I did not call his office about scheduling an appointment.
Anyway, I have an appointment with a psychiatric nurse-practitioner on March 3. Hopefully free of asshattery. All I want is someone to monitor my meds. That really should not be too difficult.
I also finally have a primary care physician. I had been hoping to get on with Cliff's PCP, but he doesn't take Medicare. Pity, that. He's a really good doctor, and we like him. Anyway, I have an appointment for a general check-up and to look into the prevalence of skin infections I've had lately on March 12.
Doing laundry today. Great joy. I hate doing laundry, but we've got to have clean underwear and stuff.
Back on meds, I'm still off the Invega, and still doing okay without it. I don't suppose it would be the end of the world to have to go back on an anti-psychotic, but I hope I can stay off. I don't mind the Zoloft and the Klonopin so much, but anti-psychotics are heavy duty stuff. I'm only taking the Klonopin as needed any more anyway.
