I'll call my doc's office and see what I can do. I'm fairly sure they don't have an emergency number (they're not very big on service). We've got the money, I just hate to spend it.
Most doctors have an answering service who will page them. Our pedi is cheap, so he leaves his pager number on an answering machine. Our GP's number either forwards to his service, or to the service of whatever doctor is on call.
Please try now, and see if they do. You want to start the anti-viral medication (it's not a cream) tonight, if possible. /nag
ok life is settled.
Matt is going back to his old company with a new job. and before the world jumps on him, his new manager told him he'd be crazy not to take the opportunity. and although his old company was driving him crazy, the new company was driving him crazy in new and interesting ways.
My husband has an amazing gift - even people he doesn't know very well meet him and want the best for him
and now for the first time in 4 weeks i feel like I can breathe. collapsing now
No seriously, the three of us will nag you to death about this. Because we love you.
And no, your doctor was stupid for not writing you the script -- just in case. You weren't stupid. You're not a doctor.

beth, good for Matt. It's still a new job. I will not jump on him, because he's spoken for, and so am I. ;)
I just got off the phone. No luck with the answering service--they don't forward prescription requests to the on call doc. He said I need to go to Urgent Care.
I'm going to check the nearest urgent care. I may run there tonight and just get the script.
Oh Beth, what a relief for it all to be over. Hugs to you and Matt for getting through it (and for getting a DAMNED nice raise and job re-negotioation in the process!).
I hope Matt's got a big, fat pay raise, beth. And at least some assurances of non-craziness. I'm glad it's resolved at least. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
You poor baby. I think you'll be way better off to get it as soon as possible. My mother got on it right away, and it made a world of difference in her recovery time and post-Shingles pain. My father-in-law and a couple of other people I know weren't so quick.
Can I whine for a minute? My throat hurts, I have way too much schoolwork to get done this weekend, and I found out we only get 1 week off between quarters. Okay, done whining (for now).
