Caught up but frazzled

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

I had 2 shrink appts. today and I'm just drained. Note to self; never do that

again.

I'm upping my Lyrica again starting today also. I told the doc if I could just

get a break from the pain for a while, even if it meant knock me out only at

bedtime; I'd be ever so grateful. So we'll see if these increases are going to

do the trick. I haven't heard back on the Topomax and Lyrica issue yet from my

doctor. But I've got some time to get the other three increased anyway before I

would add that.

Got my business stuff done for today. I'm just drained and feel 'raw'... one

of the Lupus ladies passed away and she's the 3rd in that group that I've known.

She was such a great lady and the one I knew the best out of the three; so its

tragic, saddening, and frightening all at the same time. Fortunately, mortality

is not something Fibro brings along with it.

OK so I'm caught up on emails but not functioning on all cylinders. I'm

so sorry you didn't get any kind of pain relief. You know I've notice a lot of

information surfacing on people that resort to street drugs and alcohol for

relief. So many of the homeless drug addicts have chronic pain they are

combating it's frightening. This resistence to give people pain meds isn't

HELPING the illegal drug problem; it's CREATING a great deal of it. I think the

majority of people with Rx's are not off selling them on the street; they have

them because they need them. Chances are half the ones selling them are only

doing so because our disability systems are so screwed up that they are

desperate for the money.

OK I went off on a tangent there. I just don't understand why its so difficult

to get some pain relief; even sporatically; especially when its available!!!
