Rant about pain control, was: Re:

Dennis and group;

OMG, Let me find one like that Dennis. Mine gets mad when my

primary doctor gave me lortabs for my migraines. When I went to my

rheumy over a year ago, she made it plain right than that she don't

give pain pills out. I just about cried than. I was in so much

pain.

She said she can help. So I gave it a chance. I had to wait for 7

months for her to get agressive. It's the group here that help me

especially Barbara. I told my rheumy I was number 11 with my pain

score haaaaaaaa. The nurse said it only goes to 10. Not for me I

said. That reminds me I was cut off my meds to for a month cause of

her needing to know if I had psorisis from my dermatologist. And I

needed an eye test for plaquinil. Oh the room will get me now on

that one lol.

Barbara told me to tell my rheumy how much pain I was in, so I did.

I feel better since I been on humira injections, and the other meds.

But there is always pain. So how do you find a rheumy that believes

in pain pills?? I really need to know. I don't care if I become a

drug attic. I been taking Pain pills all my adult life and haven't

became a drug attic. Some people can't handle pain pills. It's

usually those who want to get high (usually)). I don't want to get

high. Sorry I kinda lost it texting haaaaaaa. God bless and take

care.

gentle hugs
