Relieving My PCP of Much of My Care

Time to relieve my PCP of much of my care. I feel all my health issues have become too complicated for him to handle very well. I see the PCP tomorrow and will be asking for referrals to several specialists. Cardiologist for high blood pressure. Pulmologist for asthma. Endocrinologist for diabetes and a PT referral for my back/hips...sigh. All of these appts will definitely make my life more complicated, but I believe I will feel better in the long run. Probably take quite a few months to get in to see these specialists. I got more time than anything though..šŸ™„

      I have myotonic dystrophy which causes symptoms in most major systems in my body and Iā€™ve had to coordinate my own care for years. I still have a PCP for my diabetes and just general stuff. I have him prescribe my meds to keep them all in one spot though. I donā€™t have a doctor that knows enough about my disease (except my neurologist and he is not willing to oversee it) to coordinate things. It has been a nightmare really.

      A PT will work you silly, but there are some caring ones out there that want to help you improve.

      You shouldn't have to wait too long for PT.
