Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 HI EVERYONE, I CALLED MY DOCTOR LIKE YOU ALL SUGGESTED. HE GOT VERY TESTY WITH ME. I AM ON ULTRACET FOR PAIN. I ASKED HIM ABOUT TAKING DARVOCET AND HE TOLD ME HE DOES NOT PRESBRIBE THOSE KINDS OF PILLS BECAUSE THEY CAUSE ADDICTION. WELL, TODAY I AM AT ANOTHER LEVEL 9 MY FM AND MY RA HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM EVEN GETTING TO THE KITCHEN FOR FOOD OR COFFEE THIS MORNING AND I NAPPED FOR AN HOUR I AM STILL NO BETTER AND I AM WAITING FOR MY HUSBAND TO GET DONE WITH WORK SO HE CAN HELP ME TAKE A SHOWER. MY FINGERS ARE STIFF AS LOGS AND HURT, I CAN BARELY TYPE THIS TO YOU ALL. I PAIN MEDS ARE OUT THERE FOR PAIN WHY CAN'T THEY USE THEM. I'VED HAD RA FOR 2 YEARS, I WILL NEVER GET BETTER. WHY CAN'T THEY HELP ME WITH THE PAIN. WHAT DOES IT MATTER? I'D BE BACK TO TAKING BOTTLES A DAY OF ALEVE AND ASPIRIN LIKE BEFORE I WENT TO THE DOCTOR.... DID ANYONE READ AND TAKE UP THE MED STUDENT DAN TREEN ON HIS OFFER? THANKS FOR LISTENING, CINDI HEIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Cindi, I am sorry to hear that your doctor is acting like a jerk. It's terrible that you have to be in so much pain,I am so upset to hear this news. I would find another doctor Cindi, it just doesn't make since that he is making you deal with this pain. Sometimes doctor's get a little cocky, and think their in control. I wouldn't let him do it to you. Remember, your paying him for his services, and your the patient. I will keep you in my prayers, and please think about a new doc. I wasn't really interested in sharing my pain with the med student.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Cindi, I¹m sorry your doctor is from the old school that believes pain meds are addicting. He should read some of the new studies out that show that people that use pain meds for pain don¹t get addicted. They may become dependent on them just as a diabetic becomes dependent on insulin, but they don¹t get addicted. My old rheumy used to prescribe heavy duty pain meds, but stopped. Now he will ONLY prescribe Ultram. I¹m hoping since I moved to another state, my new doctor won¹t be so afraid to treat pain. You may be better off going to a pain clinic. It just is not fair. a > HI EVERYONE, > > I CALLED MY DOCTOR LIKE YOU ALL SUGGESTED. HE GOT VERY TESTY WITH > ME. I AM ON ULTRACET FOR PAIN.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Cindi, it's time for a new doctor. Concern about addiction is not a good excuse. Lame, very lame. Why not try the Mayo Clinic? It's not that far from you. I'll tell you where to go!
