my Pain Management update 12-8-08

[Guest guest]

I have fibromyalgia, MCS, and Myofasical pain Syndrome. well it took

me a year to get into pain management .

Then after all the tests they ordered 6 months to see them again then

another 3 now I am in the door I will see them every 3 months.

I have a very kind and understanding Dr.Who did 6 trigger point

injections on right side 2 on left and one in neck area.

He told me I had all 18 tender points in a major major flare.But for

my trigger points go back in 3 months get them injected again then go

down my spine area and even do hips. So ladies it takes time and

effort for you to get with a right Dr then stick with them too, also

learn all you can about your diseases so you can talk with them ask

them questions too. I do go to a teaching hospital too which i am

blessed to go to. But just hang in there when trying to find a good

Dr then listen to his or her orders and do what they tell you to do.

I am resting today per my DR's orders hubby is mopping then he will

vacuum too. tonight we will watch the football game on TV. But yes I

listen to My doctors take my supplements and my medications too. He

also upped my gabapentin to 3000 mg 2 pills 3 times a day instead of

one pill 3 times a day. But it was a long road to get to the point

where I am at now getting the injections and getting the medicine

upped too. Just wanted you all to know please don't give up hang

in there and there will eventually be a light at the end of the

tunnel. I hang on and say come on JESUS we are in for another ride

and I need you beside me as we walk through the fire again.

Merry Christmas Heidi
