Re: Good Vibes and Prayers, Please?

[Guest guest]

Oh, I'm sure I'm too late to wish you well...but I know exactly what you

mean.

Whenever I plan to ask for more pain meds, I'm a nervous wreck! I feel like

the doctor is pulling the strings on my life and also feel like a " junkie "

or something about to beg for a " fix. "

I try to change my thoughts and think....there's no reason why anyone should

have to suffer when medications are available to help them. I have the

right to request meds that can allow me to LIVE.

I hope that you'll come back from the doctor with some good news in a much

more relaxed state!!

Subject: [ ] Good Vibes and Prayers, Please?

In fifty five minutes I will be leaving to make the hour plus drive to my

pain doc for my appointment this morning. Pain doc appointments are always a

nerve wracking ordeal for me. And this one, is promising to be worse than

usual. I have to tell him that my medication regimen needs tweaking, and I

am not looking forward to it. He's a great doctor, he's brilliant in fact,

and I'm scared to death of him.

I could use all the good vibes and prayers that the appointment goes well,

that he listens to me, that I am able to articulare successfully, and that

he makes the necessary changes in my pain regimen to get me feeling

comfortable once more...

I'm scared!

Off I go!

Dodge,

I'm a little late reading your post, but sending good vibes your way.

My RA doc is about an hour away, but she is worth it. Here in OK, we

don't have a lot of GOOD rheumy's, so we have to go the extra mile

sometimes. Most doctor's do understand we need to change our meds,

and most of us are not getting better, I hate to say that. The pain

meds adjusted right, can help qualify our life. Without the meds, I

would be totally bed-ridden, and I'm not the only one. Anywho, you

take care, and hope you have a good visit. You let us know how it all

turns out, good luck, Tawny

Dodge,

I am so sorry I didn't get your post until now. I truly pray your

appointment went well. You do have my prayers. You have been through

so much I wish there was something more that I could do for you.

Keep us posted, please.
