Default I know pain too

Hey I know pain too...and think that you need to try to make yourself go get some face time with the school. I know pain myself right now - I literally am almost at a scream pain all day (chef). I have lyrica too. It makes me a little tired so I am taking 150mg at night along with some other meds. But you need to get face to face - docs are hard to get in touch with but harass them. Get on a first name basis with the "other end" of the phone. My wife is a FNP and runs a private group pracitice so she says it takes a day sometimes to get feedback - BUT as bad as you are - you need to do something - I am - and let me tell you it is tough emotionally - my brain is tired of hurting all of the time - this site is wonderful for people just like you...good luck

I agree with Jakea222. You do need face time. You also need face time with your school. Is there anyway you can get there in person to plead your case? They can't ignore you if you are right there staring them down. Don't give up. You are so close to the finish line. Tell yourself you are in the race of your life, and you will finish, over and over again. Make it your mantra. Plaster it everywhere in your house so visually you have reminders too. We want to help. Lean on us as you reach your goals!
