RE: Very angry Tigger!!

[Guest guest]

Hey there, Why won't they prescribe Med?, This is much better then the

handfulls of OTC slot of tried before going on the RX's. Is the far away Dr.

able to call your new Dr. and at least tell them you are for real and need

something to give you a break of the pain. I understand I think you are saying

it is hard for you to get prescribed because of Gastric Bypass?, but my good

friend who is a RN is on it for knee pain. Is this what started your life

threatening issue results from post surgery?, because this friend also had a

close call, her Dr, would not believe she was not ready for discharge and

something was wrong and he signed her out, we had to call 911 within 1 hr of

getting her home. I wish we lived closer so I could come and help you while

suffering. Sharon

Trust me, I know the problems from Advil. About 10 years ago I had 3 ulcers

because I was taking it so much for sinus problems. I've had gastric-by

pass, and it is even more dangerous for me now, but since the butthole

doctors won't help, I have to do what I can. Luckily, I'm out of Advil and

am too sick to go to the store (feels like flu, could be flare).

I get very poor care of my pain issues. My old doctor who is really too far

away for me to drive to when I'm sick, was a Goddess in my opinion. She

treated me and my pain with reality and sincerity. If I said I was in pain,

she knew I was in pain. More than once I sat in her office in tears.

Unfortunately my current doc and I haven't had time to build that kind of

relationship. and I'm not sure we ever will.

Back to the Advil. I can't get a script for pain med, so I use what I have

to and will have to worry about the consequences later and follow up with a

huge I TOLD YOU SO.

Tigger you be careful with to much advil, I earlier posted on my dad who

took Advil for pain, as he did not want to take RX Dr. said to use as he was

in real bad pain needed knee replacement and would not give in to take time

off from work, that must be where I got my stubbroness, he wanted to wait

out until retirement, and still after that he waited 4 more years!, Anyway

used advil, stomach started bleeding had a bleed out, and I say his troubles

started from there, he went into hosp. stopped bleed, but then it would come

back, seemed to be when highly stressed. But the advil was the begining of

his stomach bleed, he should of taken his RX instead, this is why I say to

the good drug bad drug they all have there potential trouble. Hope your

feeling better about your bro mis-treating you. I just say they don't know

any better. Shoot even the dieing is taked amongst people now a day and if

that has to be stiffled, I would really feel for that person as it has been

what

that person wants to talk about before leaving this planet. Take Care Hope

lighter days, Don't take to many advil since it bothers your stomach this

worries me. Sharon

Thank Sharon.

I thought he understood more, but he doesn't. Unfortunately, this is a

disease that DOES describe who you are because it is with you 24 hours a

day. I want some relief from my pain. Advil has been the best so far but

rots my stomach out. I think the frozen shoulder is going to become a " cold

shoulder " for a little while. I'm well enough now to take care of certain

things on my own. I won't ask for anything. my pride does get in the way.

Hey- Tigger I am deeply sorry your brother treated you that way. That in my

mind was completly uncalled for. Geez he acted like you were sitting there

telling people you had a case of crabs or something. What the heck??? First

I have to say maybe if they would look up the word fibromyalgia now there is

a case load of info on it and the numerous symptoms one can have, second

frozen shoulder is almost as painfull as delivering a baby! U know I had the

rotar cuff surgeries 2 yrs ago and it was painfull enough but when first

developed the symptom on first shoulder they sent me right away to ortho

because the PCP was afraid I was getting frozen shoulder and she said that

was something I would not want as if not caught and TX before completley

frozen it would not be fixable and also said it was the most painfull thing

you could have. Now I am sure this is got your fibro flaring as I understand

by my Rhuemiie and have found out any added injury, surgery, and slight

things

we don't think about can cause the area injured to hurt 3x's over because

the disease has sunk it's teeth into it also, they call it exaggerated pain,

but it is REAL. I feel bad you got yourself up and out and over there and

then he says that. What was he thinking you can't talk about your illness

around others. He does need to brush up on his reading on being more

sensitive to someone not well, and be more sympathetic to how bad you can be

feeling and gratefull he was worth going to see. Hope you can just do as you

say back off, and forget about him for now as you need to get that shoulder

better, and understand it is just another statement from someone

enexperienced, Take care hope your better tomm. I hope I will sleep now had

to try an ambien. Probably will be up at 3a take care Sharon

can't pretend that life is hunky-dorey when, in fact, I'm in agony. I've

had enough.

I went to my brother's house for corned beef and cabbage (St. Paddy's Day)

and we had a decent time. Unfornately, I woke up not feeling that well.

After everyone left my brother sat down and told me I can't talk about my

illness in a " party " setting. I'm so f-ing sick of it all. I thought he

had some idea, but he doesn't. He thinks he does, but he doesn't have a

clue. In addition to feeling kind of sick, I was in a great deal of pain.

especially that frozen shoulder.

I've been crying for hours now and don't know what to do. I think I'm going

to just stay clear of him until my anger subsides. I actually told him that

I wish he could feel my pain for a day and then he'd feel differently.

I'm just so sick of it all!
