Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I too am sorry to hear about your loss. My psychiatrist Dr. Gardner whom I last saw about 48 years ago,committed suicide on May 25,2003.He had Complex Syndrome Dystrophy. On August 10th,1953 my mother died from Rheumatic Heart Disease.She was 45 when she died and I was 10.A family physician thought that it would be best that I didn't attend my mothers funeral.Because of his decision and my fathers agreement I never had closure and suffered from mental illness for many years afterward. Subject: Re: Mourning To: Hugs-N-Pain Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2011, 11:58 PM Â I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you are reaching out for support. I have been blessed to have really good doctors. I have heard horror stories. I am on cymbalta, but am about to switch to savella. Can you let me know about your experience with savella? I will pray that each anniversary gets easier and that you can take some solace in knowing that he is no longer in pain. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. But, it does get easier with time. Gentle hugs, Ellen Ellen-Hangin in Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless Mourning 2 years ago this saturday my ex-boyfriend took his life after no longer being able to deal with the horrible pain he dealt with everyday after a forklift dropped a pallet on him at work. His girlfriend at the time is my good friend now and felt it was finally time to share his suicide note on a private page dedicated to him on Facebook. It was heartbreaking and scary. Seeing how far he had gone after years of pain pills and doctors refusing to help him. It was more scary reading the similarities of our situations, and she was kind enough to call and make sure I was ok after reading it. I don't want to get to that point. He left behind 2 beautiful little girls who come play with my daughter all the time and it kills me to see them sometimes. My doctor put me on Savella and is thinking it is probably ly fibromyalgia. Seeing a rheumy and neuro soon I hope, doc is supposed to set up the appointment s. After that I need to find a new doc because she has been putting me through hell up until now. I just want my life back. Jesi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Maybe that letter should be taken to the FDA who makes so many restrictions on physcians that they are afraid to treat people with chronic pain. I worked in the medical field for 30 years and would often go to the CE lunches for the docs. One was on pain and stigma of treating people and that over 90% of people with chronic pain are under medicated. Maybe it would help and they would change the laws so that no one has to kill themselves because of pain. I have thought of it at times, but I have a wonderful doctor who will try anything to help relieve you and help you. How many more people are going to have to die before they realize that pain is a DISEASE - it is not our fault that some people abuse it. I am so sorry for your loss and think that you should share the letter with every doctor, goverment agency in memory of him in hopes that they will change the laws and perception of taking narcotics when you are living with chronic pain. Who ever was in charge of his care should of been sued! My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thank you , and yes I think it should be passes on but that is up to her. In the letter he named every doctor and pain clinic that had failed hI'm and it was horrible to see the list of how many had failed him and just passed him on to the next. He didn't just sit and accept it, he tried to continue living, to continue working but he couldn't. Thank you for listening.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 It just makes my blood boil and I hope she does something so that he did not die for nothing that this can put a stop to these doctors who think that everyone who has pain is a drug addict. How stupid is that? We would get them on the streets. Everyone of those people put a nail in his coffin and they should have to pay for it or if we could get the laws changed or something. It just broke my heart reading that. I emailed my doctor and told him how blessed I am to have him and how much I loved him. I could not imagine living with my disease and not having medicine to help me....I am so sorry for you, his kids, his wife everyone who lost this man.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 for my symptoms, cymbalta was perfect. Pain and depression. Too bad my stomach didn't feel that way about it. Practically all of the standard NSID's gave me stomach trouble. Thats why the classic pain pills ae still working. Man, we need a breakthrough in pain relief that is easy on the liver and stomach.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 It is for both and I used it for awhile about a year and did not think it helped with the pain or depression and if I took it on an empty stomach it would make me sick and I would sweat and throw up, I am on Wellbutrin now and like it for the depression. Plus Cymbalta is so expensive and with Medicare you are only allowed so much money for medicine and then you go in the dough-nut hole which means you pay out of pocket 4,000 and then they will pay again so I have to be very careful with my meds to avoid that. My doctor is wonderful at giving me samples so he always gave me my cymblata. But I have heard a lot of people that due really well on it.
