Re: Debra L

[Guest guest]

Debra L, I will NEVER have another MRI like that. I just thought I was going to

dye!!!! I am not having very good days either with my back. I can't decide if I

hurt worse from the Fibro or from my back. My hip is also giving me fits. Not

sure what is up with that. I don't know if I mentioned it or not but I asked the

tech about the herniated disc in my back and he said " which one are you talking

about? " OMG I just can't keep getting more and more. I am never going to get

well. I see my future being in pain until the day I die. And ofcourse I have

been up since about 5am this morning. I am just so tired of all the pain! I will

be very AGGRESSIVE when I go for a visit with my pain doctor. I am stopping my

aspirin a day today so that I will be off of it a week before I see him. I will

be ready for surgery next week!!!!!!!!!!!! Surgery can't even compair to the

pain I am in now.

Thank you for your kind words. I have figured out that if I don't take control

and be aggressive then who is? Most doctors don't see you as a person, they push

you through these clinics like cattle going through a sale barn. If YOU don't

take control no one will!!! Now this isn't to say that some doctors aren't

sensitative to our needs, but they are very hard to find. I am fortunate to have

a very caring Primary Doctor and my Neurologist will spend all the time in the

world with me as long as I have questions. He has even sat with me and given me

tissue as I sat and cried because of the pain. My pain management doctor is

coming around to that because I have become aggressive in my own care. I am

hoping that since I have taken myself off the asprin that somthing can be done

next week or the following week. If I had not then I would have to wait a week

for something to be done. I have been in severe pain with my back since early

last Fall and it's time for

me to have something done besides the steriod injections, which don't do

anything for me except help me to gain weight, whcih I don't need to do.

WE ALL HAVE TO BECOME AGGRESSIVE WITH OUR OWN CARE!!!!! IT'S A MUST!!!!!
