Tonight,I am feeling pretty good.I had a pretty good day today.
When I got up out of bed,I ate a quick breakfast and despite some issues with the internet browswer,I did my personal PC work.I also managed to do a little bit more research on some prescription medication.
After doing all of that,I still had some time in the morning,so I went to my insurance agent to pay my auto insurance for the month.After that,I headed straight home to get ready for my appointment with the nurse practitioner over at the local hospital.
While getting ready,I watched the noon news and I took it easy.I still had plenty of time so I felt that I should relax for a bit while waiting for the time for me to leave.
When I left,I stopped over at my work to pick up my paycheck that I didn't get on Friday due to the picnic.I headed for the hospital after that.
The session with the nurse practitioner went better than I expected.I told her everything from the way that I felt and the funk that I have been in.After telling her these things,I felt better and I got a new prescription and some med samples to try out.The only drawback was that the practitioner put the wrong date on the script paper.I now have to wait for her to give the okay on the prescription so I can start taking it because I really need it.I am hoping that she can tell the pharmacy that it is okay to fill the prescription right now so I can start taking it immediately.Again,I hope that this can happen soon.
When I got home,I relaxed for a bit and waited for dinner to get done.
After eating,I did some more personal PC work and I did some research on some more prescription drugs.As stated,I need to gain some knowledge on prescription drugs so I will know what's what on prescriptions and their side effects and their benefits.I did a little bit of research on the samples that I got today.I read them and the side effects are almost the same as the medication that I am currently taking.Boy,I wish that there wasn't so much side effects to these drugs.I know that these things are made by man and anything made by man will be as imperfect as man.But I do wish that there wasn't so much and that each and every drug was safe.I guess that you can't have everything.I am just hoping that everything works out for the better and that I will get the new medication that I really need to help me.
Regarding my SSA struggles,I have nothing negative to report.
Tomorrow is a work day.I hope that the day goes well.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

I guess the thing s you decide whether the problem the medication takes care of is worse than the side effects you experience. And of course you don't necessarily experience all the potential side effects they list. Just if one starts up, you can figure it's from the med. And then you ask, "Is this worse than the depression" or whatever it's treating.

Hope you can get the prescription filled soon.

I am also hoping to get it filled soon. The nurse practitioner approved the filling of the prescription but there is still a problem. It has to get approved by the insurance compnay to get filled because for some strange reason, the insurance stated that it wasn't covered. The hopsital already has asked for a "prior authorization" by the insurance company to approve the filling. I am hoping that this happens.

I will post tonight. Thanks for stopping by.
