I would like to thank you all for your support and well wishes as I get ready to go to the pain clinic. I found out today that they won't let me take any of my anti-anxiety meds (which I rarely have to) but they were under the impression that I took them all the time and would have to detox off of those too. (WRONG) I only took them when I had to go through some bad stuff in my life. I haven't taken them in months but still they seem judgmental telling me that they were "bad" for me. Then why would my doctor prescribe them? I also found out that I won't be able to take my sleeping med that I have been on for years...before my rsd. I guess it will interfere with the new med that they will put me on..it is called suboxone. Anyone else on this? It is supposed to help with pain and get me off all the other meds too.
Thank you all again for being so awesome. I leave on Tues. to go and am so scared!!!! I haven't been this nervous since I had to take my state boards for nursing. I have been overdoing it cleaning my house so that while I am gone my boys won't have to do as much...now my back is killing me (herniated disc) and I am just now starting to flair again in my arms and legs. I want to thank those who responded and who sent me private messages. I know I might sound like a broken record but you all have really made a difference in my life and just when the docs start me make me feel dumb or crazy I know you will all back me up. It is good to know I am not alone and that the things I think and FEEL are real.
Thanks again,
Jennelle
