Gotta love medication allergies...

I had gotten strep throat somehow and my doctor put me on Cephalexin for 10 days. I thought I was just dealing with a flu of sorts, but when the symptoms got worse than ever today, I went to the pharmacist to ask questions and he told me to stop taking it immediately, which I have done--although it doesn't matter much since the prescribed amount was ever 6 hours and I took it only 2 hours ago. Colitis, severe fatigue, shakiness, confusion, dizziness, hives that started an hour ago, and kidney pain. Wonderful stuff.

That combined with me starting to see the side effects from my Seroquel that I'm supposed to report to my doctor that I can only see on certain Wednesdays (not today), I'd say I'm having a lovely week.

I'm on GAU for my mental problems, and I can't see my doctor that I've been seeing when I was using Molina for my insurance because there isn't anywhere except for one hospital that accepts Community Health Plan under GAU (welfare for mental baskets) that doesn't have any appointments open until September, and I can't keep GAU unless I see a doctor that they approve for my mental issues.

I have a week left of regular Seroquel that my doctor had been giving me samples of, after that I have two weeks of Seroquel XR (extended release) samples which will make me tired 24/7, making me hardly able to function, in addition to some of the side effects that will probably require me to stop taking it altogether, meaning I'm probably going to go back to being a borderline psychotic bi-polar maniac in about a month. Oh the joy. And if I was to try to get Seroquel without coverage, it would be $520 a month.
