@71 Beetle I have had a real rough day passed out in the bank after standing in line 10 minutes, staff were great, made me comfortable. I have been very weak today. Anxiety very high. Have app with phycologistt next week and with GP on Wednesday re pain control. I have gone through withdraw after stopping dilauded long lasting in two days due to fear of the contribution to my anxiety and panic. I spoke to my OS Nurse Manager re pain options and he was great and gave me some things to speak to my GP about. Completely exhausted at the moment I litterly can't get off the couch. Absolutely exhausted today because I haven't slept in days due to severe pain at night. Praying for some sleep tonight.

@greeneyedtattedgirl Sorry about the fainting & hope you're feeling better now.
So are you seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist? I know psychiatrists are MDs and so can prescribe. I'm wondering if it would be helpful to see good psychiatrist who is knowledgeable about drugs to survey your meds to see if you are on the right ones & the right doses. He /she would also know about interactions etc. with pain meds.
 
So so sorry. Just catching up with you! It is amazing how many of us there are that suffer with anxiety also. I am praying your counselor and bring you some relief. I also had a great one who helped me tremendously. Love and prayers.

I see both my psychiatrist helped me with medication management and I see a psychologist to help me with anxiety and coping skills

good to know. From what what I know this seems like a great approach. I think I was confusing whose thread I was in for a minute--my thought was more directed to greeneyedtattedgirl

@71Beetle (this IS becoming a confusing thread, I think I screwed it up, sorry @JanetK!!!) ...didn't mean to do that. Newbie here.
Sooo.....Just in case it got lost in the shuffle, I recommend "Meditation Oasis" by Mary Maddox, she has quite a few apps to pick from. There is also a guided relaxation called "yoga nidra" I use (lotus flower on the app)...gets kinda dicey when it gets to the knee and leg relaxation part lol.. and last but not least, Brainwave 30 Binaural Programs (there are lots of binaural apps). I listend to a 5 hour binaural deep sleep program last night, chose ocean waves as the background, and slept really well...but then I had to go to the bathroom, and change my ice packs...blah blah blah :) you all know the drill!!!!
