****. Shitty McShitpants. The first thing they did after diagnosing me with PCS was give me a "loading dose" of ibuprofen. which was like 900 mg. And i continued as prescribed for a couple days, but quit when it offered me no relief. Whats worse is the doc acted like I was a " pain seeker" , someone seeking pain meds. When I rated the headache an 8 on a scale or 1 to ten she gave me attitude, "Are you sure? you dont look like an 8 to me." MY GF was on the verge of beating her. "well, we're going to give you some ibuprofen. " " Ive tried, it doesnt do anything." " Well, lets call this a loading dose. (chuckle)"


This makes me angry. Why didnt someone test this sooner? Why always a minute too late for me. And that damn ER doc. I wasnt asking for any narcotics, I wouldnt have taken them if she had tried to prescribe them to me. She should have known that the Ibuprofen wasnt going to help. Everything ive read since then says its standard for pain medicine to not work. Why would she give me Ibuprofen then? She went to med school, shouldnt she know these things? Damn doctors. It seems someone can go through medschool and be a doctor but still have zero common sense.
