I have so much to write about so I better get started before I get even more backed up. I’m sure I’ll forget some things but I’ll try to remember the basics. I’ll also try to go in order of events as best I can. I don’t remember exactly what day it was but a couple of days ago I finally got fed up enough to send my doctor this message via the portal:

This is to let you know that Walgreens says the prescription was never called in. I’m getting frustrated with the communication issues. First, my thyroid isn’t tested as I was led to believe it would be. Then you didn’t reply to my second message albeit more than one copy went through unbeknownst to me at the time. Then we tried to call on 2 different days just to be put on hold till we finally had to give up. Now the statin isn’t called in. I need a more reliable team, so if you don’t wish to work with me, please let me know.

I was pleasantly surprised to get a call from her apologizing. She said the miscommunication was due to a change of staffing which I kind of suspected. She totally admitted and owned up to the thyroid thing being her fault. So that was very nice of her as doctors don’t usually admit their mistakes any more than cops, judges, and lawyers do.

The rosuvastatin was called in and I took my third dose tonight. She recommended taking CoQ10 to minimize any potential side effects. I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst knowing how prone I am to side effects no matter what. When we later went to Walgreens to pick up the prescription, the pharmacist I spoke to so I could make sure some of the OTC stuff I take at times wouldn’t counteract with the statin, also advised me to take CoQ10. Funny how two people in Florida tell me to take CoQ10 with my statin yet absolutely no one in California recommended it.

I have a shit ton more writing to do but I think I’m just about out of energy and ready for bed so I’ll carry on tomorrow.
