Need a Dr.

[Guest guest]

Hello My Silicone Sisters...

I need to find a Dr. in the Sacramento Area, just a Primary Care

Dr. would be good. I am on Permament Disability, since 1994. I am

on

Secured Horizons Insurance Plan thru Medicare, and they arent

excepting Secured Horizon anymore in my area, so Sacramento would be

the next closest Place. First Let me share my story with you on what

happened to me on Friday of Last week. I thought I found a Dr. When

I went for my first visit. He asked me what I was in the office for.

I explained to him that I needed to get established with a Dr.

because

I need medication to help my pain from Silicone Posioning. This Man

shoock his head, and said " There is no Scientific Evidence that

Silicone does any HARM! In the 2 year study that they did. And then I

shoock my head, and told him. I was Implanted for 21 years and I

dont

care what that Scientific Evidence said about women who were

implanted

for 2 years. I explained to him I was DX with M.S. type symptoms in

1994 by means of a MRI and a Spinal Tap. And that I also have

several

herniated disks in my Neck.. C4, C5 and that my shoulders feel like

they are going to come off at times because of the pain. Also I was

diagnosed with Fybromyaliga. I also explained to him that I was

explanted in 1994 and at the time of explantation I could only walk

with a cane, 6 years later I dont need a cane, However my pain is

managed now with the drugs, which also helps me to walk.

He shoock his head again and said " Debe, Im sorry to say, but I cant

take you on as a new Patient, because there is No way I am going to

prescribe you with all that medication. Then the tears began to

start. I looked at this Man, and said you mean to tell me you dont

treat anyone with Chronic Pain? he shoock his head again and said No "

So I walked out of the Drs. office, feeling very much like a Drug

Addict. Even though this Dr. Did agree with me, that I needed to have

these Drugs with all that I am dealing with. Talk about between a Rock

and a Hard Place. He referred me to other Drs that might see me.. So

I go home and get on the phone trying to find a Dr. (What a Joke)

Some said yes we accept Secured Horizon Patients, and then I asked but

do you accept patients with Chronic Pain. And every answer I got was

NO.. Sooooooo My question for anyone that reads this.. Are any of you

aware of any Drs in the Sacramento area who will accept patients with

Chronic Pain, MS and Fybromyaliga that also believes that Silicone

causes Pain and Harm to the Immune System? I feel like Im at my Wits

end.. Maybe I should call my Attornies who are representing me with

the MDL, they might know Dr.s that will accept me..

God Bless you all.

Hi Debe,

I am really sorry to hear of what you went through. That crap should

never happen.

Perhaps you could print off some of the studies we have posted and

take them with you to these doctors, and also, Dr. Kolb's

article called, " DR., Are You Listening? " , which is on her website

and posted here as well. Sometimes they wave that off with the brush

of their hands, but at least you are armed with something.

I don't live in California, so I can't offer much in the way of

concrete names for you, but how about alternative medicine doctors

which are on your plan, who are also MD's or DO's? It is my

understanding that while naturopathic physicians are not licensed in

California, many of them practice under their current legal licenses

of Osteopath or Medical Doctor. There is such a doctor here in

Vegas, an MD who practices strictly homeopathic medicine. These

doctors should be recognized on your insurance plan, AND should be

able to prescribe your pain medicines for you. Most of these doctors

do recognize that implanted women are ILL FROM their implants.

Another avenue that you may want to look at if you cannot get the

prescriptions you need is to buy them in Mexico, or through an on-

line pharmacy. I myself have bought prescription drugs over the net,

from off shore pharmacies very easily. I don't usually take

pharmaceuticals, but have found it very satisfactory to buy them

myself without having to deal with doctors when I have decided to

take them. It avoids alot of hassle.

There are several websites that will list alternative care doctors

who are also MD's. I also have lists in several books in my

library. I will try to post some sites...Dr. Weil's website used to

have a " doctor locator " , but I didn't see it last time I visited his

site. The other one that I am familiar with is the American College

for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM). Their site is at www.acam.org

Here is what came up on that site for Sacramento:

I hope this helps you. I have found unfortunately, that dealing with

traditional doctors regarding silicone illness is a waste of time, a

rip-off of money, they are lacking understanding, can be verbally

insulting or abusive, and generally clueless and unwilling to change

their minds. For that reason, I do not recommend that anyone seeking

help from implant associated illnesses just go blindly to the doctors

on their plans. It takes effort to search the doctors out who are

genuinely concerned, willing to help, and are rare jewels in the

medical field. Alternative medicine doctors have almost always

provided the needed care and concern.

God bless you.
