Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Yesterday I went to a pain management Dr.. I really did not want to go but my Orthopaedic and Sports Dr. wanted me to go because of the Fibromyalgis and CFS. I also have arthritis and alot of problems with my hips. I went in told him what was going on and about my house having mold in it and us moving out. He then tells me that he wants me to take some meds. for 2 weeks and then come back and let him know how I am doing. My sports dr. had me taking a painkiller when the pain was bad. Keep in mind I did not ask for a painkiller or anyother drugs. I do not like taking such meds., but I will say this when you are hurting bad I feel that it is ok to take them and I have. This pain dr. says that he does not want me taking what my dr. has given me because of the fact that it can be habit forming. Well he writes me an rx for not 1 but 2 habit forming meds. Elavil 50mg and Ativan .5mg.. I am not going CRAZY I have FMS and CFS What is it with drs. thinking that it is all in one's mind? If there are any drs. that would please email with why he would give me such drugs. I would be thankful. Vickie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
