Re: Re: me again - to Heidi

July 4, 2004

I have been on the patch before. I have been on a bunch of pain meds too

narcotic as well as non narcotic. I am happy that I am back on the patch. So

far 25 is working for me but I know that I will have to be bumped up to 50 in a

few months. That is what happenned the last time and then to 75 a few months

after that. What I am really upset with is that the doctors that I have seen

so far have basically been guessing as to what is wrong with me. The ARNP

that I see is the most straight forward. When she doesnt know she tells me she

doesnt know and will do some research to try and find out. I told here that

a friend of mine suggested that I see a doctor at the office that she works at

at UNMC and Tammy (the ARNP) told me to let me know who it was so that she

could keep in contact with him and together they may be able to figure things

out. I am also going to get in contact with my old Dr in NY to see if he would

be willing to look at my latest films to see if maybe my Drs here might have

missed something on them. It cant hurt and might just be that link to finding

out what is going on this time. Sorry I am rambling on so. I just have so

much on my mind and I need to tell someone besides my husband.

youasked a lot of questions.

As to the pain it is basically a constant thing it gets worse at times and

yes it is like someone is squeezing me just under my ribcage.

I was born a raised in Elmont NY ( Long Island, I lived about 4 miles or so

away from Belmont Racetrack if that helps). I am going to try and contact my

old GI and see if I could have my films sent to him for him to look at to save

me a trip to NY first. I have also gotten the phone number to another group

of Drs at UNMC and they are supposed to be very good. Maybe they can figure

something out.

As for my depression. I was on antidepressents already but got pregnant and

had to stop them. I miscarried recently and I think that is a big chunk of

why I am depressed right now. I am going to let time help first and see.

The odd thing is, when I am pregnant my CP seems to quiet down and I dont

get attacks. I am going to ask the new Dr if he might knw the reason for this.

Well it is getting late and this is getting long. Off to bed for me.

Heidi feel free to email me directly if you wish just type CP in the subject

so I will know not to erase it.
