Hi indigo
Sorry for missing your earlier posts - been dealing with a few issues myself recently and not had my usual focus on NT threads.

Firstly I'm in NZ so understand totally your problems with the health system (or lack of). Won't ask what area you're in (it's a small country and your privacy is important) but I may have some info about resources that might help you access support. I've dealt with the system for a while now and have figured out a few places to get help.

Although NZ doesn't have specialized PM clinics as in the US there are a few attached to some hospitals. It seems from your posts that you've pretty much been through the system without much progress. Sometimes the public health system needs a push in the right direction from the patient or an advocate.

Sorry I can't offer any medical solutions to help with the pain but my support is here if you want it. PM me when you're able to send private messages and I'm happy to share what info you might need.

All the best from fellow kiwi.
