Just tired! What's your Vent for Hump Day?

His job was to tell me that prednisone and diabetes are a bad mix. I get that. His job was not to tell me he was going to call the specialist I see and tell her that I should not be allowed to have a medication, not necessarily prednisone, on hand so that I could make the decision whether to take that med or go in to see a dr.  He thinks every problem rates a dr visit; I disagree. My pu had been working with me for more than 3 years to get my asthma under control; she is quite capable of deciding whether I am capable of discerning if my problem is one I am familiar with or is something new.

I had no problem with his explanation of the problem with taking Prednisone while taking diabetic meds. I have a huge problem with him basically forbidding me from following another dr's orders as to when to treat a condition with a pre prescribed medication.

Funny thing is, he had no problem writing me scrips for Xanax, hydrocodone and muscle relaxers to keep on hand for when my anxiety kicks in or my back goes. I've had and have successfully dealt with the asthma for a lot longer than the other problems. I only use Prednisone once or twice a year, maybe 5 times in 3 years, and 2 of those times were directly after seeing my pu.

I sympathize.

There are two to three half-day Fridays every month at my son's school for administrative bs. I'm sure that's great for anyone who is easily free to pick their child up three hours after taking them to school, but for me it is an orchestrated event that costs me money and frustration.

OK so DH phone was acting up so I got an upgrade on mine and gave him my old one. My old phone was working fine. Now 2 weeks later the phone won't hold a charge. Seriously. So not sure what to do. Ugh. Just can't freakin win
