Re: how I got doc to listen

[Guest guest]

I'm hoping to go to the institute in NY to get the real scoop on chairi. I tend

to believe the the group that does the most research and sees the most cases.

Doctors should not be telling us what our symptoms should and shouldn't be. And

antidepressants are not going to get us anywhere.

I don't really want surgery and am hoping to continue to treat myself

symptomatically on as little meds as possible. I currently take 0.25mg of xanax

for sleep and vicodin for pain approx. 6-8 pills a week. I like to take short

acting meds that I can control and be able to feel like myself when I want to

and maintain my inner strength. I'm extremely sensitive to meds and this is

the only regimine that works for me. I don't take meds while I work as I am

currently an RN in obstetrics 20 hours a week. I love my job and am afraid of

not being able to continue. I hurt all the time and the headaches are coming

more frequently. If this stops working and tci says surgery is the next

step I would probably do it. I truly feel it is a matter of seeing the right

doctors. Us so called mild or borderline cases should be treated just like all

the others because the research states that we should be. I'm sorry you are

feeling this way too.
