In Remembrance
|
This came up as a cry for help as my RSD was going crazy last night. In the meantime, I remembered how horrible my pain mgt. doc was recently. His laziness in listening almost cost me my life!
I upped my Ativan and gave myself my breakthrough amount of Dilaudid. Then, I took one dose of baby Bendadryl. (I used to love it for this, BUT, it started a restless leg, leg pain thing and my injury is basically the right side. Funny, how we stop eating "real food", as I now drink Glucerna with milk added, and Gatorade, as well as freshened water. On the other site I warned about the pitfalls of not staying on schedule with your regular meds - a doctor and I discussed - and I mean just discussed the importance of making a topical that works for each individual, so that you can go off or go down on your meds, and that included mixing: pain relief - such as dilaudid pills, just a few for a large container of cold cream a very, very small bit of steriod, an inti-inflammatory, things good for the skin such as Vit D and Aloe, etc. Well, I talked to my pain mgt. doctor about it and he put it in my reporr that I was mixing drugs for a topical and the work comp then refused all of my meds!!! (We have a date for trial on this.) So not only did I not do it, but they accused me of being an opiod addict and that it is called a "Las Vegas cocktail" when you mix up heroin and coke and get high... I was VERY upset with my doc for not listening to me, but now, it created a need for the attorney and a hearing and just to get my bare minimum meds I've had to pay cash!!! Outrageious, don't you think??? And this was MY doctor!!! I think many of "our" doctors (not on the list), but ones we choose, are really insurance protectors and have no regard for our pain. I really do. Thank you for your reply, and I hope that my reply may help others, also |
