Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Quick overview:

*Januvia prescription sent

*Norco refilled

*Rescue inhaler script sent... and then pauley showed me an inhaler from my doctor from last year. It's the same. I was gonna try to get the inhaler today but now it's not urgent.

*My doctor was sympathetic when I explained my current depression caused by adjustment disorder. We talked about how I don't have problems with my PCP office.

*Discussed lab results. We're concerned about my fast weight gain and insanely high A1c. I have to find an Endo ASAP. I'm gonna start making calls on Tuesday.

*Follow-up appointment in one month

I've got a telehealth appointment tomorrow with my doctor to go over my lab results. They're pretty bad. She's gonna be cross that I haven't found an Endo yet. I'm on a really high dose of insulin. It's not helping. But it's making me gain weight really fast. It's kinda scary.

But I'm gonna talk to her about getting me a proper rescue inhaler. I've got dulera but that's just twice per day. When I go up and down the stairs or walk for more than 5 minutes I can't catch my breath.

I'm gonna get a refill of my Norco. I've been trying to contact my previous back surgeon but they haven't responded to my 2 emails and phone calls. As long as I am making an attempt, my doctor will refill my meds. I've only been taking maybe 5 per week. I'm trying to use my tramadol more often. I'm not addicted. And I intend on staying that way.

My doctor is concerned about my lymphedema and high blood pressure. I told her how my cardiologist is handling it and she's kinda pissed. The new meds aren't working. And I had a low symptoms day on Tuesday so my cardiologist thinks everything is fine. And even after emailing her pictures of my pitting lymphedema, I haven't heard back.

I'm so frustrated. And my anxiety is making me sick. I'll talk to my doctor about how bad my adjustment disorder is. Maybe she'll have an idea. She's a good doctor.

Last night was nice. My QPP and I went to One Eyed Betty's for dinner. I got the "obligatory fish and chips" which was delicious. I hadn't seen him in a few months so I had a lot to tell him about my health update. We've been friends for 8 years. He's super worried about me.

When we walked from the garage to the restaurant I couldn't breathe and was gasping and wheezing. He thought I was dying. Once we got somewhere warm and I could sit down I felt much better. But when we were done we had to walk back to the garage. By the time we got there I was trying to communicate with hand signals. I couldn't breathe and I sounded like I had a squeaky toy in my lungs.

He asked if I'm supposed to use an inhaler and I said yes but I don't use it and I don't have any good reason. So when I got home I asked my darling stupidhead to get me 2 of my dulera inhalers. I put one in my daily meds box and one in my messenger bag. I'm trying to be more responsible.
