First off let me say Welcome

Really not too much you can do until you get to the new doctor. Did you ask the new doctors office to call you if they have a cancellation?

As far as your employer goes, are you on short term disability right now? I don't know how large of a company you work for, but I think short term is 6 months. As long as you have something from your doctor.

What happened with me was the Disability provider sent paperwork to me that my doctor's office had to complete so I would keep getting paid. I'll try & help you with any questions you have there, let me know.

Enjoy your weekend & try and get some rest if you can.

I'm not lucky enough to take Lyrica because i dont have insurance but i go take muscle relaxor, Aleve, Ibuprofen and Tramadol. How about asking your doctor for muscle relaxors? Even if its for at night. It helps me and also Melatonin to help you sleep at night. If you just wanna wait to see the rheumy then alternate Aleve and Ibuprofen which helps me alot if its not time for my tramadol yet. I know its hard with a baby, i have 2 teenagers and there are times i cant get out of bed or sometimes even wake up when they are hollaring at me. Hang in there, the rheumy may be able to help you once you get in to see him.

Hugs, Alicia

Maybe that would help until you can get in but I can't remember the name of it!!

Thanks!!
