Question

I have been really relating to Josephene(sp) and her troubles with her C&P. I can sooooo relate.
The VAMC refuses to acknowledge my problems & fears of doctors, especially male doctors. They constantly expect me to go to primary care but will not do anything to help with with the anxiety that goes with this & that it triggers me & makes me act like a person wit all types of undesirable personality traits. They had had me in a room with male doctors without a nurse present.
Several years ago, when i was facing a stay in the hospital, private sector doctors gave me a combination of Xanax & Prozac just to get me tru the front door of the hospital. this probably saved my life. Of course these doctors in the prrivate world assumed that I had some value & worth as a human being. HAAAAAHAAAAA!
I have high blood pressure, grossly overweight, probably have all kinds of artery goo, had renal cells in one urine sample. Nothing was ever done....If i don't start getting care, at some point, I know I will go the way of my husband. Yet, the mental health "professionals" seem so determined not to acknowledge my problem with docs/gyns, that they are willing to let me die rather than get any medical care. Since going to VA, it seems my depression has gotten much worse, but if you read my progress charts, I am such an evil, mean, bad and nasty person, it's a wonder I don't have a wrap sheet a mile long. What really makes me mad is, I have no recourse legal or otherwise.
Yes, dears I've been totally off paxil for 3 days now & my fangs & talons are coming out. Plus i think my barbed tail is also trying to emerge. Isn't it interesting that they cannot or will not prescribe Xanax because it is addictive but being on paxil is acceptable????
OK, done with my rant.
Liz
