Iggy, we know you are not a druggie, and know that we love you. Hang in there, don’t listen to them, or let any dr make you feel bad, if I would have I would have-I would never gotten the implants that I was told "Were Not making me ill, stop acting crazy" out, and I would still be so very sick. Let it float right over you, and behind your path. Means nothing. All that matters is you getting well, and feeling this bad will inhibit it! Ask God to take away the sadness and frustrating with this, and throw his comments to the Wind! Love you!

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 want pills, and all the cra*, I want mylife back............... Im crying cuz I feel so much pain and sickness, that I want to give up. Please help. Iggy
