I am very sorry to hear this Catra

Please go to the ER with your medical notes, they will give you a few days of meds to get you through. You need a new primary care doc right away! Get someone that will take care of you. Ask your friends who might have a good doctor for you to build a new relationship with. I had to do the same thing. I ahd a dr for 19 years. i figured he cared about me ect. whenever i needed pain help during my last year, he was a jerk. i didnt have a diagnosis and he was acting like i was a drug addict. finally i called around and found a new primary care. when i presented the idea to him that i might have RSD he said i think your right! and he changed all my meds and i have been mostly pain free when im sitting in bed, before i was still in too much pain. now when i move i still have pain but i think i always will because i have internal rsd and my stomach is swollen, that hurts when i move, so does my herniated disc. My primary is managing my pain right now because i didnt like the treatment from the pain management clinics i had gone to.

Please go to the ER, its hurting me thinking of you suffering dear, i truly mean it, and you have to go to work on top of being in pain, its not worth it. Friday is TOO far away!
Blessings
Lori

But she's out right now on maternity leave so that's out.

And I tried to get the scripts from my old doc and he extended them last month...but that was the last time which is why I am out now. So I'm torn between waiting until Friday and going to the ER where they may or may not be able to help. The ER is exensive though and I don't really want to deal with the future stress of those bills. So I guess my pain is on me if I decide to wait...just wish I wasn't put in this situation to begin with. If it gets much worse then I will go to the ER...but as long as I don't have to do anything I should be able to make it until Friday.

Thanks for the support and the ideas.
