I am in so much pain today... I hate doctors. I hate tests that involve stabbing me with needles (and all i end up with is bruises... not tattoos!?)...
I hate Aleve because it doesn't work anymore. Neither does Advil, Tylenol, or Aspirin.
I used to get 2 good pain free hours after taking 2 Aleve gel tabs. Now I get maybe 30 good minutes. Then back to the incessant swelling and aching.
This is such crap. I HATE HMO's. Give me the damn referral to the Rheumatologist already asstard. I'm obviously NOT getting better. It's been 49 days now that this has been going on. What exactly are you waiting for?
Some great excuses the primary care doctor gave for my "condition":
1. a blood disease from my tattoos
(yeah because I ALWAYS do to the dirtiest place in town to have used needles put tainted ink into my skin. BRILLIANT!) She let that one go since it's been a long while since my last tattoo.
2. depression
(lady, I've been depressed... I know what it's all about...I know it better than I would like to. THIS IS NOT DEPRESSION.)
3. mania
(last time I checked mania made me feel unstoppable and rad... NOT PAINFULLY MISERABLE!)
I never should have mentioned the bipolar meds. Now she doesn't believe anything I say. She thinks because I'm not medicated that it's just the depression/mania talking.
The stigma given to people who have suffered some sort of psychological disorder is disgusting. I am not a liar... don't treat me like one.
