Wow. It's scary how right my astrology always is in the National Post.
Today's:
Time to kick butt. You have so much to do it's scary. Roll up your sleeves and begin. Fortunately, the heavens now give you a big boost of energy and motivation to work hard. Get thee to the salt mines. Sing the Song of the Volga Boatmen. "Yo heave ho! Once more ( Read more... )
And the management of pain is a huge issue!!!
At Christmas time I spent lots of time in the ER and they kept giving me notes to take 5 - 7 days off of work to relax at home. I kept crying and trying to explain to them I am my own boss - I can only give that paper to myself!!! And as such I can't take the time off so I can only tear it up. Their kind response was "okay but you're just going to get really sick and end up in hospital" - which I did!!!
But so many doctors don't take the time to listen to their patients. If your pain isn't being managed and she is concered about the amount of meds you are taking, then she should do something about it!!! Not just leave it. Otherwise she's failing as your doctor.
Have you ever gone to a pain management clinic? My appt as you know was cancelled, so I don't know how it works, but maybe they could suggest something other than pain killers?
I've been on a strong amount of narcotics everyday for a year now and I'm definitely concerned as I don't want to be on them for the rest of my life. Argh.
It's so hard for people with chronic pain illnesses...
*Hug* Hang in there though! I'm sure you'll eventually come across a doctor that will be able to help...or medication/alternative therapy that will help!
