Guest guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi Everyone! I'm just back from my first visit to the Pain Clinic.. and, for once, I felt 'listened to'! My new doc is Dr. Ribnik, full handle-bar mustache and all! He took the time while I was in the room to look up Still's and read all about it!! Didn't pretend it was 'something else'. AND he agreed with me about getting off the many, many prescription drugs and narcotics I am currently taking. I have to take all my bottles over there with me every time.. and I have 32 prescription meds I take every day, along with daily kineret injections. The psychologist I was required to meet with spent an hour and a half telling me all about HIS childhood, and HIS pain journey, and HIS practice.. and well, you get the picture. After 90 minutes I looked at my watch and told him I had to leave! That's the problem of letting him know I'm a counseling psychologist! Anyway, he's doing fine with his pain treatment, in case you were wondering?! I do feel, though, that this clinic will be helpful, the doc was sympathetic and thorough in his exam, and has set a course of action, so that's a good thing. I woke up with 'flare impending' feelings which have been there all day, so I'm off to bed. Thank you for listening. This site, and all of you have been such a blessing. thank you all for being there! hugs to all. *Holly * * * *Holly Dorst* *Compassionate Help with Difficult Issues* *1050 N 3rd St., Ste B2* *Laramie, WY 82072* ** * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just gotten through with breakfast coffee over here on this side of the pond, and I have been cheering through your post - such positive news for you, and you made me laugh! I can picture the scene. I do hope you manage to stave off the flare, and am so glad in the mean time a course of action has been set. Well done, Holly!
