Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 i feel like an addict. my wife tells me that im just " addicted " to not being in pain..... i dont know what to do. when i first stated taking my meds, they helped; they dont anymore. my first pain management doc took me from 9 pills a day to 6; then gave me shots every month in different places, but they never worked. so he reduced my meds but didnt offer up anything else to relieve the pain that was still there because of the reduction. so i cont. medicating myself resulting in running out early, and im sure someone out ther knows how that feels. my new pm doc reduced the strength of my meds but kept me at 6 per day, but offered up a patch of some sort that is supposed to be longer acting. it does help, ut i cant get away from these pills and i hate taking them and i hate how they make me feel while im on them and when im coming off of them. but i dont know which doctor to talk to because everyone makes me feel like crap when i try and talk about it. i dont want to lose my pm doc because he thinks im addicted or something but i cant continue like this. i dont know what to tell them without losing their help, and i .................. i dont know what to do anymore about anything that goes on in my life. we're buying a house with no income?! what they heck; does that make sense to anyone? we used to be so strong as a couple and now that seems to be falling apart. i have appts for a psychiatrist, and a psychologist, but they are weeks away. I WANT MY LIFE BACK and it just keeps getting worse, not better. my own pastor never got back to me, after he promised to try and find some sort of help, or at the very least he said he would call and check on us, but he hasnt. my wife lost her pain management appt, because my doctor had set me up with the same one as hers, but we didnt know that until the dy before her appt. he called and said he wouldnt see her, now she has to wait another month. sorry to hear about your loss kat sorry i havent been on in awhile, ive been avoiding the computer because it effects my back the most out of everything i do. rob <html><div>No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands. </div></html> _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search.
