What happened at the doctors...

doc said that the high dose of zithro was causing my psych problems. referred me to a family therapist was hesitant thought because she is prob not covered under insurance. asked front desk about MRI and they said it was all insurances making a new protocol as of nov of last year making it harder to get tests like that. doc said to stop zithro for 2 days and continue for a week with 250 1x a day again and that i would go back on biaxin on Friday. he didn't order any blood tests yet. got scared to ask him also confused in my head. i trust my doctor though. he does want to see me a lot to see my progression. i forgot to tell him about applying for ssi though. and i forgot to tell him about my period. i told the nurse though. i still have it. I'll say something Friday if i still have it.

another note: mike fell riding the bike to work today and scratched up, possible small fracture and bad bruising in leg. maybe he'll understand me a bit more.
