Re: At what point do Rheumatologist start giving serious pain medica

[Guest guest]

A lot of doctors don't get it! You are in so much pain and when you tell

them about the pain they stare at you with this blank look on their face

....as if you said nothing that matters to them. They are not the ones up

at all hours of the night with a body that feels like it is in a medieval

torture vice. We are people attached to a body powered by a disease not us.

I wish they could feel what we feel for just one day; perhaps they would

have a better understanding of the illness and have more compassion.

Every time I go see my rheumy I end up leaving the office thinking maybe

there is something else wrong with me instead of RA, because it sure don't

sound like the doctor and myself are talking about the same thing.

But when I come to this group and listen to you all, I'm convinced my

diagnoses it right!

Thanks for being there guys!
