I am not doing well at all. I woke up an hour ago because of my RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), my legs twitching and moving. I can't sleep, & I am so exhausted. My nerves have felt like they are crawling all over me! I have been on medications for depression, anxiety, & panic disorder for some 16 years. I can't remember the last time I felt good.

Today was supposed to be my next injection treatment, but since the insurance company denied my treatments, calling them "cosmetic surgery" I am on hold with them (the insurance company). I feel like I could swallow my own throat, my panic attacks have been through the roof since dealing with this insurance stuff. I don't know if I can take any more.
