I have an appointment with a doctor I have seen only once before tomorrow and I need more and better pain killers. But I don't want to sound like I'm hunting for opioids or sound desparate. Even though I AM desparate. I'm in agony. I have nerve tingling sharp pain on my right neck, cold water down my right leg, cold sores everywhere, sharp pains in elbows and agonising miserable pain everywhere the voodoo master sticks his pins (in a faraway land I know nothing of). Earlier today I had a very real sensation of something passing THROUGH the left side of my head. Like a breeze but more solid. And I keep losing my hearing on the right ear; transient but disturbing.
PLEASE, can you help me word my complaint?
Yesterday I took 6 tramadol through the day, 3 panadeine forte (which makes me sleep) and half an endone before bed to help me settle. And I was still in pain.
I take tramadol for breakfast; and if I don't, I'm in a world of pain by lunch.
Do I just start the conversation with all of this? How mad does it make me sound? I don't want to start any anti-depressants; my sex life is at a low enough ebb as it is. And endep makes me sleep.
thanks peeps.
