I have been having a few rough days due to the not-so-small issue of lacking one of my medications.
I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as an adult a number of years go (I'm a little uncertain if we found I had the hyperactive part of it, but I know I have the rest). This meant going on some medication that is tightly controlled.
I ran out of this medication at the end of last week. I didn't notice it until I went to set up my pillbox for the week. It explained some things - lack of focus and wanting to sleep a lot. But I had to get it filled.
My regular pharmacy is constantly out of the medication, so, armed with a paper script, I had Don take it to another pharmacy for me today. The pharmacy called me after a bit, informing me that they were no longer accepting prescriptions from my particular doctor. The reasons why weren't clearly expressed, and I plan to let my doctor know there's a problem.
So we tried yet another pharmacy. This one has delayed the prescription due to - wait for it - insurance issues. They will get a call tomorrow asking what is going on.
In the meantime, I'm having to function and get things done. When you've been on a medication as long as I have, you grow dependent on it. It's hard for me to get things done right now. This includes writing stuff.
I'm thankful for my 1500+ day writing streak. That will get me to the computer and get words made tonight. They may not be many, but they will happen.
So if I strike you as flakier than usual recently, just put it down to lack of medication. But I'm sure I'll be fine - oo, look! Squirrel!
