Ebony <stillbreathing29@...> wrote: Hi I am glad to hear your doctor is setting you up with another clinic. I have found being chronically ill and in chronic pain this is the type of treatment given to most of us whether a past addiction problem is present or not. I am treated this way on a regular basis. I was turned away 7 or 8 years ago from a doctor's office because I refused the prednisone and I was told I should try some of the pain clinics he wasn't that kind of clinic. It was assumed and he testified against me in court when i tried to get my disability. I was denied. I took a news artical to his office on GLA. He twisted all to say I was looking for drugs and that I was telling how to do his job. The bottom line was I didn't have any insurance. I had insurance problems another time and was turned away from a rheumatologist's office. I have problems with my inusrance denying payment for certain procedure even now and the treatment by healthcare is terrible. I blame it on being chronically ill. And if you are in chronic pain you are always looked upon as drug seeking even if you have never had a problem with drug addiction. It is awful. You almost have to have someone like your doctor in your corner to get any real help. I didn't have that in the past. Ii think i have that now. I hope. It is all new. Hope all goes well with the next clinic. Ebony > > Thanks for the encouragement Sharon. My drug of choice was cack cocaine. I used this pain management clinic before. I saw a psychologist as per them and was on percocet 10's for 6 months. Did not abuse them and when the Lyrica kicked in I told them I didn't need pain meds. I even brought the left over meds to be destroyed, and they still treated me like that. I have my rhumy referring me to another pain clinic...a Dr. he knows that will help me. So I am just waiting for them to call me with an appt. You know I try to get my life in order and people chastize me for trying to get sober. I don't understand it. All I can do is let go and let God. > > God Bless, > Chris > > > --------------------------------- > Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Bless your heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though we are only email 'buddies', I am so very glad that you are at least at home. My hopes are that you recover as quickly as humanly possible and that you are your old self before you can blink an eye!!! Lots of people have been thinking of you and will continue to do so!!!! God bless!!! D. Ebony <stillbreathing29@...> wrote: Hi and thanks . Yes I have been. This is the second time, from the second of feb. to the 9th. So really just got discharged. I am recovering, thank you. It still hurts to take a deep breath or to laugh, cough, yawn, etc. but it is still early yet. I hope to make a full recovery soon. A new dx and new meds. I keep having problems breathing and problems with the right heart. A liter of fluid was taken off one of the lungs this time. A small amount before. I think all is RA medication induced and so does the pulmonologist. Nonetheless, i am hanging in there at the moment and taking it easy. Thanks for all the prayers. I feel prayers have helped me. My prayers to you and everyone suffering here in return.
