Things, I guess, are "okay" with the new C. I mentioned before that she is in the same office as H's pdoc. I continued going to her because I had heard great things about her. Well .. I didn't realize how uncomfortable it would make me feel to be walking by H's pdoc all of the time .. when going into my C's office.
I am ONLY uncomfortable because I think that it will come out (at some point and time) that H's pdoc observed this. I don't want/need my H to know this .. at this time.
Also this C has come across to me (after the first three appointments) that there is pretty much no way that H's pdoc could be wrong. THAT, in and of itself, totally turned me off. So, even though I have two more appointments set up with this C, I am thinking about canceling. I know that I can find someone that I feel more comfortable/validated with.
I do have some news to report .. after two weeks of H having to cut down on his Mirapex dosage (he cancelled doc appt. and couldn't get his script refilled until he saw pdoc) I began seeing a change in H! I am almost afraid to type it out here, thinking that maybe I will "jinx it" .. or something?
All of a sudden H seems to be listening to me. He stayed home more (ie did not head up to the bar at night) .. Last week, he was home Saturday night, Sunday night and Monday night. He did go out on Tuesday and Wednesday, was home again on Thursday and then was out again on Friday. Last night we had a wedding reception to go to. He wanted to stop at the bar on the way home, but I wasn't feeling well and he didn't push it .. we were able to just come home.
Personally, I am feeling like this is HUGE! H's current changes (which I KNOW is because of the medication adjustment) just totally supports what I have been saying all along. I know that it is still very early and (it's like) I am just holding my breath .. watching/waiting .. but I am hoping that things will continue to improve.
The plan is (MY plan) is to keep H on the current half dose of Mirapex (that psychiatrist prescribes for him) and watch and wait to see how much more he will improve.
