Re: Please tell me what you think Believe yor simize is right

Sometimes your Dr will notify other Dr;s hospitals to not treat you with any

narcotic pain meds, for whatever reason, justified to some others to not. They

just get it in their minds that if you go somewhere else, you are either going

behind there back, or hosp/Dr hopping. I have been to alot of ER's as seems I

alway get into a bad bad Pain situation that my RX pain meds don't eleviate the

pain usually when away from my home town, and end up getting a pain shot, I

always e-mail my PCP when this has happened and I myself get me thinking they

are going to think I am going around hiding out getting pain TX, but my Dr.is

very into no one should be in pain and I have been 24/7 for almost 3 yrs now and

worked through it until this yr., but tired out they keep me on hydrocodone but

it does not do a complete wipe out of pain, and I am only able to take q 6hr's

no matter what and have to call each mo for refill, so they do monitor close,

and belive you me sometimes would like

to consume the mo dose in a week! Can you try someone else?, I would not tell

the old Dr where u go as for some reason she seems close minded and would

probably send ahead that you do not need pain meds. anti depressants though are

used also not for just depression, but in some will reduce pain, I was on all of

them side effects stopped me except the effexor which worked for several mo's

then went against me! Sharon

They should read these group things to see exactly how people with

Fybromyalgia feel and the terrible treatment allot of us get.

I have experienced so many things and now see that all those symptoms

must have been the fybromyalgia doing it's thing. I just got done

reading one persons post on here about how her rib hurts and I

thought for the longest time that I had lung cancer because my rib

was so tender. My doctor's diagnaosis, ITS ALL YOUR HEAD!

I have been complaining to my doctor for a year now and still I'm not

on any sort of pain medication.

These are the medicines I have tried: Cymbalta (made me very

sick),Celebrex, Tramadol, Effexor, Flexeril,Lyrica (I was very upset

when this didn't help), and Tizanidine.

None of those meds worked for me. I still take the Tizanidine to help

me sleep, but even thats starting to not work.

I feel as though my doctor doesn't take me seriously. When I finally

broke down and started crying she said I was in pain because of

depression. She then put me on the antidepressants, and the more I

thought about it, I realised that, NO the pain is not from

depression, it's the pain thats causing the depression. I wouldn't

even be depressed if someone could bring me some releife.

I feel jealous when I read things about people who say they can

handle their pain, tht it's only the fatigue that bothers them.

I was on another Fybromyalgia support group and got mad because some

lady there said that she doesn't have insurance and that if she can

handle her pain then I can handle mine without meds. I thought to

myself NO, your pain and mine are obviously very different.

My oain consumes me, I don't even remember who I am anymore.I am pain.

When I go to my doctor I force myself to be cheerful because I don't

want her throwing this off to depression.You do know that doctors

make money by getting people addicted or dependant on antidepressants

right?

The more they can sale, the more the drug company rewards them.

I was going to a pain clinic and they stopped accepting my insurance

so now I'm waiting for another to accept me.The pain clinic I went to

was the one who put me on the Tramadol.

I sometimes feel like my doctor thinks I'm a drug seeker.Beleive me

when I say this, if I was seeking some kind of high I would have

given up a long time ago!

I want to be able to live. I want to have just a momment pain free or

to at least be able to tolerate it. I cry EVERY DAY.

The reason I think my doctor might think I'm drug seeking is because

about five months ago I had a really bad UTI. Well I went to her

about it and she said, oh it's not that bad and gave me some

antibiotics. Fine I was happy. Well the next morning I wook up at 3am

and was in very bad pain. I went to the hospital and they gave me

some hydrocodones. They also told me that I had a severe UTI. Well I

wanted to let my doctor know that it was a bad UTI and that she

goofed, I don't think she liked that to well. She asked me what

hospital I had gone to, so I told her and thought nothing about it.

Well I went to the hospital about a month ago asking for antibiotics.

I didn't feel that I needed pain meds for the infection this time so

I didn't ask for them.

I then went back to my doctor after finishing the antibiotic because

I knew I still had the UTI.She said how do you know you have a

urinary tract infection? I told her well I hurt like I have one.She

said how do you know it's not just your back hurting you. I told her

I didn't know, but that it felt like a UTI.She never even took a

urine sample from me.

I ended up going to the hospital this week because it was causing me

so much pain. The hospital gave me antibiotics, but nothing for the

pain. My mom's friend was with me and told them they need to give me

somethin for the pain and all they gave me was Phenazopyridine which

brought me little releife. I have never been treated so poorly in the

hospital before. My blood pressure was dangerously high because I was

in so much pain and this was how I was treated. The ER doctor was

even a little cold towards me.

Well I think my doctor faxed them something that says to not treat my

pain.It's the only thing I can come up with.

Whats strange is that when I first went to my doctor I was having

pain in my leg which was getting really bad, but if she will remember

right I was also complaining of other things that I now know was my

fibro. One of the first things she said to me was that they do not

prescribe pain medication at this clinic. I thought it odd for her to

tell me that when I have only asked a doctor for pain meds two times

in my whole life. Once was when I was in a car wreck and the other

time was when I had a really bad kidney infection and was

hospitalized for it.

Has anyone had similar problems with their doctor?

I was just wondering, do they ever make you feel like your some kind

of junky searching for a high?

My mom is going to my next appointment with me and we are going to

ask for a copy of my medical records. I know this much if this doctor

has me labeled as such, she is in so much trouble! It is illegal to

deface someones character wether it be medical or not if they havn't

done anything to earn a bad title.

I would really like to hear your thoughts, or experiences.

Sorry this is so long.
