very hurt feelings

[Guest guest]

I called my pain doctor's nurse 3 days ago and said I was in terrible

pain, that the tramadol I was taking 2 of with 2 tylenols wasn't

working on the pain anymore.

I asked if I could have something Stronger phoned into the pharmacy

that would cover me just until my next appointment.

She didn't even return my call until I had left 2 messages over 2 days.

When she did return my call it was to say she was phoning in a refill

of the tramadols. I said I still have some and don't need a refill. I

had called in asking for something else because the tramadol and

tylenol combo wasn't working. She said She'd get back to me.

She called back this morning and said a prescription was being phoned

in for ultracet. I was thinking in my head that ultracet was just

tramadol and tylenol. I didn't want to second guess her and sound like

I was just looking to score drugs, instead of wanting pain meds for

pain, so I just said thanks.

Not only is the ultracet tramadol and tylenol, but it's 37.5 mgs

tramadol and 325 mgs tylenol. The dose I am already taking is 100 mgs

tramadol and 2 extra strength tylenol. The ultracet is a much lower

dose than I have been taking.

I feel like this nurse, who is my liason in talking to the doctor, is

just blowing me off. I feel so hurt that she doesn't take my pain

seriously. She is the one that relays my messages to the Dr. and I

don't feel she is doing so fairly. If I was a drug hound I wouldn't

have one month prescriptions that last me 2 or 3 months.

I called her back and left a message again, but I have a feeling she

won't even return my call.
