Well, you won't believe the last few days I've had. This post is about another pharmacy incident I had, but I have had the most horrible few days, I must vent! I was diagnosed with fibro and ankylosing spondilytis about two months ago. I have had to take quite a bit of sick days from work, but I've only been working here three months. Besides the pain, fibro makes you fatigued, clumsy, forgetfull- truly not my ususal mental capacity. My work has suffered. I explained to my boss and co-workers my situation and I thought they understood. The other day went to lie down for a few minutes, and let my coworker know. She said OK-no problem-so I rested for a few moments. Next thing I know my boss stormed in, and he reamed me out! That little bi**h called him behind my back t deliberately get in trouble. Now I have got written up for this incident as well as complaints about my sullen "attitude". Of course Im sullen- its not fun to go to work in extreme pain all day every day, and to experience this fatigue that leaves you barely able to function, plus I have suffered two miscarriages in three months. Im sorry, I just don't feel like faking cheerfulness and chatting all day. All I can do is show up, do my work and leave. So now I have to worry about losing my job because of this illness too. What next?!!
Anyways, yesterday I saw my new primary care doc- she prescribed Xanax for my anxiety. I also see a rheumatologist who prescribed me ultram to be refilled PRN. Once again at walgreens the nosy pharmacist had a question about how much ultram I was taking. I had just received my 2nd refill the day before. I get 60 pills with instructions to take up to 8 per day. Now isn't 8 times 7, fifty-six? I can get a new bottle once a week-right? Well then the pharmacist asked if my PCP knew I was getting meds from the other doc, and vice-versa. I know I should have told her to go to he**, but I didn't. Im sure that she placed some phone calls after I left, I just hope my rheumatologist won't cut me off now. Well thats all for now- sorry this is so long -take care everyone.
