Update (Things are Looking Up!...**knock on wood**)

With some help I've found a General Practitioner that takes my Insurance....HURRAY!!

Her name is Dr. Blank (no really...that's her last name...lol) and she works out of the same hospital that my Rheumatologist Dr. Rackoff works out of, so that should help with getting my new doc all my old records.
My appointment is for August 9th but I'm panicking about the appointment. I'm worried she's gonna be one of these idiot doctors that doesn't listen. I'm worried that I'm not gonna remember everything I have to tell her (2 years worth of crap).
Granted I've kept files and notes, making sure to scan all my test results onto my computer for save keeping (yep I'm that organized) but I'm still worried I'll forget something. I need this appointment to go well so I can get the referral I need to go back and see Dr. Rackoff who's been treating me (insurances making me do this), but I also need this appointment to go well for my state of mind.

The Sevella is a GOD send and without it I wouldn't have my life back. It's a struggle every day but thanks to this drug I've been able to get back to a semi normal life. I'm so scared to fall back to where I was. It was like a living death compared to how I'm doing now. I'm not 100% and I my body still reminds me from time to time what my limits are, but right now if I continue to work on getting by body back into working order, I can have a semi-normal life.
That's all I want....a semi-normal life...
