The pain is so bad I am going out of my mind. I have Fibro. I have a new Dr. , she won't give me pain meds. until she get my records from Ca. She said it could take up yo six weeks. I'll never make it. I have a six year old boy, a thirty year old disabled son and a disabled husband. I have to work at home. What can I do? I have not slept in two days. My whole body hurts. I wish I could be happy and positive today, but I just can't.

She could have easlily called your old doc's office and gotten the information she needed ASAP and had the important stuff faxed. I can understand her waiting but you are in pain. You shouldn't have to. If it gets bad enough, go to the ER.

Rashelle,
You might be able to get a referal from your Dr. to see a Hypnotherapist that works with pain clients. Here is a research article from the American Psychological Association about using hypnosis for pain. http://www.psychologymatters.org/hypnosis_pain.html I hope you get relief, Rick

I would call the Dr.'s office ASAP and tell them you want them to call the other Dr. and have the most important records faxed. The dr. can certainly listen to you re: symptoms, examine you (if he/she insists) and then prescribe appropriate meds. In this day and age of technology 6 wks. is unrealistic. Perhaps you should consider another Dr. if he/she is unwilling to do this.
I can sympathize with you as I am in chronic pain from fibro, RSD and now TMJ - 24/7 at a level 8 to 10. No pain meds have worked for me and I have tried over 40. Good luck - I hope your find relief soon. There are so many meds available I am sure something will work for you. Sydney |

Sorry to hear your having all this trouble and are in so much pain.
But that Dr. is full of something and it's not kindness. Just one phone call to Ca. Dr. and that's what they have fax machine's for. If your in that much paiin and can't find another Dr who cares. You get yourself to the E.R now. I know you have alot on your plate,from reading your posts,but you won't be able to help anyone,or yourself unless you get some pain free rest. Good luck,to you Rashelle ![]() |
