Most days I feel like crying I am in so much pain. I will not give in though. I was my doc on Monday and he was annoyed I went off the prednisone and refused some other treatments due to the fact that I would have to have my liver and kidneys checked every few months. Even though I told him what terrible pain I was in all he did was give me some pain medication and send me out the door. Well, needless to say, I am finding a new doctor. In the meantime, how do you cope? If you are refusing to take the meds your doctor offers and refusing to have your liver and kidney functions monitored, what do you expect this or any other doctor to do for you??
