Unhappy

Yes, as I stated I went to the pain clinic yesterday and talked to a pain doctor. I told him about my concerns and everything about being labeled as a "junkie" and everything. He basically told me if I use it correctly, like I do my insulin, I won't get that label and things like that. He was very kind and believed it when I told him about the pain. It seems like every time i go into my neurologist or the pain clinic, they always say "You're too young to be here" and I know that, but I can't help that I have diabetes and neuropathy. Its just very frustrating. I have tried a lot of Lyrica in the past, and it made me gain about 60 pounds in a very short amount of time, so they decided that it would NOT be best to continue taking that. I still have the weight-it's so hard to keep up with exercising and work out often because of my legs and arms. I will ask about a higher dose, I am just really unsure about how to go about it. I am going to try to tough it out for another month until I see him again. Thank you everyone
