Ok I shall try again since my last post disappeared!!

Dear ,

I hear you very well with this.

I suffer chronic pain and I live in Adelaide (Australia) and the pain clinic is

the same here as there by the sounds of it.

When it all started for me my doctor had put me on serious pain relief after

trying everything else and then put in for me to see the pain clinic and I didnt

get to see them for 18 months.

All they told me was there was nothing they could do and told my doctor I should

be taken off ALL my meds.

Both my doctor and I were like OH what?? Suffice to say I didnt get taken off my

meds.But it did take my doing a silly thing before they finally tried to help.

I DONT and NEVER WILL encourage you to try to kill yourself because it is not

the solution, never is and never will be.

I know your suffering & I know that it seems to be the best solution to you

right now BUT do you have family?Kids? I look at it this way, its not fair on

our loved ones for us to do it as it leaves them suffering.

Defeats the purpose really to end your suffering to leave others to then suffer

from your loss. Please dont take this as me preaching at you as thats not what I

mean at all. Im just hoping to show you that its not the way to fix it.

What is your regular doctor like? Does he offer you help when you need it? There

has to be someone out there who will help and to find them its going to take a

lot of searching but I have to believe that someone will help.

Have you written to the health minister? I would certainly try that and also

continue to pester everyone you can think of. I know that pester power can work

as it did when my son was very sick and no one believed me. they accused me of

making him sick but did find out what was wrong (5 yrs later) and fixed it. I

got letters of apology from quite a few people.

, I dont know if Ive been much help or of any help at all but please know

that I am here if you need anything.I could also try to find information out for

you,as I said, anything.

Please also know that I do know there are people worse off than me but I do see

why you posted this.

I wish you well and please take care of yourself.

HUGS,

Liza
