Re: My Doctor makes me feel like Im just trying to get drugs....

[Guest guest]

I DO NOT GET SOME DR'S AT ALL! IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY! I was very

blessed when it came to pain medication and finding a wonderful pain

management Dr who never made me feel bad about getting those

medications, but it was not till I moved here to Idaho. I still took

pain meds for awhile after explant and I am not at all ashamed of it

because it helped me function while healing. I took those same meds,

oxydone immediate release or IR and Oxycontin, it depends on the

state where you are in, they can really be mean about this stuff. In

CA I had a screwed up Dr who would give me 200 vicodin scripts for 2

weeks, that was crazy and I became out of control on the vicodin, the

oxy's saved my life and helped with pain and helped me work, do

things I needed to to stay in life! I feel so bad for people in

chronic pain who get treated like this. Dr's can be so strange, with

my arm this week the pain was intense and all they gave me was 15

vicodin, now I am almost out and still hurting, it is like they are

afraid to treat the patient, for fear of the patient getting

addicted, and they do have allot of that, so they walk a fine line. I

am praying today they will extend me a refill, I am doing much better

thanks to all the prayers but still need help with the pain. It would

only make sense to give me a few more vicodin for such a serious

issue. Anyhow, off to Canada I am going where I will stock up on over

the counter codiene and B12 shots! I don't know, they need to sell

that stuff here too.

I will pray for you Iggy and maybe it is time to find a new pain Dr

in the meantime, don't be ashamed if you need the meds for a bit

after explant, it is perfectly acceptable.

Hi, Iggy. I have discovered that it is invaluable to find an ally in a doctor....one who won't make you feel like a junkie or make you feel stupid (as some of mine did). The doctor I have now listens to me and works with me to figure out the best treatment.

I was there, in that dark place, where it feels like you'll never get through...but you will. It will get better. I pray for all you ladies every night, but I will be saying a special prayer for you, Iggy.

Love, Colleen

Hi, Im writing this, because if I don't I will get so depressed over

this. My Lord, I am made to feel ashamed because I suffer from

severe pain. Dont these docs know that I have lost my job, my

health, my bike rides w/my girl, my rollerblading w/ her, my health

is so bad right now. And what more can I put up with? I am a mature

adult, I told the doc before pain management that I will only go on

these pills until after my explant,(FEB), yet every month when I go

to get these pills that first of all, nothing gets rid of the pain it

helps me function as a mother and housewife, thats it, and hour or 2

tops of functioning. I have physical therapy, natural supps, I use

many treatments, lidoderm pain patches that just numb the area, so

beleive me I do not depend on just narcotics. I see the pain

specialist who faxes the scripts to my MD, what does she do? she

says, " this is too much " you will have to turn in your oxycodone

tablets for the new script, because they interact w/each other. FIrst

of all, that is not true, she is lying to me. they do not interact.

My scripts are for sustained release oxy and instant release oxy,

very low doses, but she thinks that she is doing me the biggest

favor, and makes me feel like a junkie when I go in to get these

scripts. Ladies, these do not work, they just help take the edge off

to function... I was the one who only wanted them short term, so why

do I get such treatment? Yes I complain all the time to my doc, I

tell her the truth that I still am in pain, and I still dont sleep,

but she says, sorry, I cant do anymore for you. I want the natural

route 100% after explant, that was my choice... I have to go in

there tomorrow, and feel humiliated again.... I know this happens to

people w/chronic pain, Ive heard many stories, but it hurts so bad,

that I am made to feel like a junkie. I dont drink, I never even

took tylenol until all this garbage started cropping up. Please say

a prayer for me, I do not have the mental strength to deal w/this. I

am so depressed right now, that I just want this all to end....

Please give me some encouragement, I cant deal w/this anymore, I dont

crying cuz I feel so much pain and sickness, that I want to give up.

Please help. Iggy

--- Hi, I just spoke to the administrator of the office and

everything is fine. they just want to make sure I am not abusing any

meds. She was very professional and very sympathetic to my

situation, she said her best friend had implants in and got very sick

and once she was explanted, she was back to normal! Praise GOd.

She just wanted to remind me and tell me that my doctor is not very

good w/sympathy or bedside mannerisms, but she said that she will

send me to another pain specialist who could possibly do more for me

than what is happening now. So, we left and hugged and she just said

that she does not want to see me lose myself on these meds and she

does not want her doc to lose her license if I were to abuse the

system, which she says she knows I have not, but just wants to remind

me the seriousness of these drugs. It was good to hear that. I will

pray for the next pain specialist to do more for me. this one says

he knows it is my implants and he cant help me.. Whatever..... sounds

like someone who doesnt care to help this certain situation. Im sure

I can get some sort of lidocaine injections or something else they

can do w/meds or something to help my insomnia....thank you for your

ears ladies, I am anti drug and anti drink, this is not where I want

to be in life, but when my body is falling apart, I guess I have no

choice in the matter right now, until explant, I pray for the healing

hand of GOd. I pray that for all of you here, that we may be healed

of this horrible hell.... God bless, Iggy

I am glad that you spoke up. While it is very true that narcotics and

the Dr's who prescribe them are under extreme scrutiny there is still

no reason to suffer pain without proper care. There is a thing known

as a patients bill of rights so remember that! Anyhow, while natural

sounds so good, and at some point it will be for you, right now if

your in pain don't feel guilt or pressure for taking medication you

need. Your not a drug seeker.

--- Thanks , you know, its so difficult physically AND

emotionally for us, what I once was is no longer, at least

temporarily, so its hard enough w/out putting up w/so much emotional

strain.... or even feeling like you are at their mercy because of

the physical nightmare of this. thanks , God bless, and I have

faith in GOd for his healing in his time, God bless, Iggy

As amazing as it seems I feel mostly like I did before implants and

the illness/nightmare. I mean I am much more aware of my health and I

have def noticed more things like pains and achs and blah blah, but I

live normal now, and when things are going good as they usually are,

I am an active normal woman. I have my share of little health woes

now and then but they are just normal things that normal people go

through and I believe that you will get there too. It takes time. I

can say I am at least 99.9% healed from the implants.
