Re: HELP. Pain Medication Bangor Maine USA--- GRRRRRR #$%^@&

[Guest guest]

It's simple. The are IDIOTS. I will tell you right now that pain medications

do help fibromyalgia. It sounds to me like this doctor just believes it is " all

in your head " . What an A$$. Just don't go near him. I don't know much about

your area, but you need to be looking hard for a descent doctor.

Oh... exercise????? For some, but not others. This crap can get you in so

much pain there is no way to exercise. They have lost their ever loving minds.

Gosh those kind of " doctors " piss me off to no end. That is enough right

there to put you in a fibro flare.

There is just as much evidence out there to support the use of narcotic pain

meds for fibro as there is info that says not to use them.

Well, I guess the world will remain full of judgemental idiots until research

finds some proof that we are not lunatics.

Sorry,

I got mad,

DOES ANYONE KNOW A DR NEAR HERE WHO WILL PRESCRIBE PAIN MEDS?

How are you all getting pain meds prescribed? I am told by primary care doc here

that

there is no point in me being referred to a fibro specialist if i am going to

ask for pain

meds. That the current standard of treatment is to not give pain medication but

to

recommend daily exercise, not limited to walking or swimming but something as

demanding as yoga (I studied yoga for many years, it is not as 'easy' as it

looks.) I said

that if I could have something to take the edge off the painmaybe then I could

get out of

bed and try Yoga. They are willing to prescribe psych meds (Trazadone for sleep,

some

others also but I already take some psych meds for the stuff that realy is in my

head .

They also want me to see a " Pain Psychologist " Am I being unreasonable in not

wanting

ANOTHER head doctor in my life? I woke up today feeling likeI've been beaten all

over with

a stick.
