Hi e

I don't believe I have ever written you. But have been following

you as far as your posts go in this forum. You have been so full of

knowledge for all the women in here. Very HELPFUL.. and I want to say

Thank You from all of us. e I to am a Saline Survivor living

in

Northern California area. I am having the worst Luck in trying to

find a Doctor or Rumey in the Sacramento area, who believes that

Implants cause harm. Since Secured Horizons which is a HMO through

Medicare stopped serving El Dorado County. Could you please ask

around your Hospital or maybe you even know some names without

asking.

Im so stressed out, trying to find a Doctor. I am permenantly

disabled on SSA/SSI since 1994 since being diagnosed with

M.S. Symptoms/Fybromyliga. Plus I have 3 herniated disks in my neck.

I am in constant pain. And the new Doctor I have seen just don't

believe that I am in the pain I am, I guess. which really is

frustrating, being I have clinical proof. However the last lab work

I

had done came back ok. Are there certain Lab test we need to tell our

Doctor to run? I am currently on Lortab for the pain and Soma for

the

muscle spasams and the one Doctor I have now refuses to give me this

medication. Which really upsets me, being I have been on these drugs

since 1996, and its the only relief I have found that works for me.

I

know these are controlled substances, and I know the addiction these

drugs can do. But I honestly believe there is a Big Big Difference

from addiction and dependency. I am dependent on this drug to get my

ass out of bed in the morning because the morning pain & stiffness is

the worst. Every joint in my body hurts, and pops with movement. I

guess I am an addict now, but in my mind I would much rather be an

addict, than a cripple like I was before I was on these drugs. These

drugs don't totally take the pain away, but they sure have helped me

to let go of my cane more. Ok I have rambled on enough now.. but if

you have any names I could call as far as Doctors in the Sacramento

Area go.. it would be so APPRECIATED..

Thanks e.. and Im really glad you aren't going to Saudi. We

need you here Girlfriend! Take care, and God Bless

Sincerely

Debe
