Well, visited PCP doctor Monday about the diarrhea and told him I had no faith in the gastro doc since he could have killed me. He suggested going to see him to find out why he wants me on the steroid, since I do not have IBC or Crohn's. After we get the answer to that, I can switch gastros (got a great reference from a coworker) and keep on trucking.
So I go see him this afternoon. It'll be interesting to see if he treats me with kid gloves (like everyone in his office since the RX screw-up). I guess with this being a litigious society, he should be worried. I won't sue him because everyone screws up but I hope this serves as a wake-up call for both him and his staff (who should have doubled-checked his order).
All in all, feeling OK if I could only get the diarrhea solved. But I am feeling very depressed and short-tempered. From what I have read, these feelings are most likely PTSD. Sigh. Another doctor. But I really need to address it, as it is getting worse and worse. I'll make an appointment for next week.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
