Another update

Well, I went and had the ultrasound on my leg, 7 days after I

complained about it. Not surprising, they didn't find anything. The

tech said it had probably dissolved itself throughout the weekend.

Believe it or not my pcp called me this morning. She wanted to know

what was going on. Nice huh? I told her what happened at the clinic

Monday and how I was left waiting while the staff took their lunch.

I also told her I had been taking the vicodin for the thigh pain, so

therefore would be running out sooner then usual. No comment there.

She asked about the ultrasound, and I told her I was having it today,

but it wasn't as painful and I figured it was too late, which is why

I didn't want to go get the ultrasound done. Now if they had done it

Monday that would have worked out. She said she would call me when

she gets the results. As far as my T-3 and T-4, they aren't out of

normal range, but they also aren't consistant. Still haven't heard

from the hospital about having my thyroid ultrasound. I got a letter

today saying I have medicaid, go figure, but they drastically lowered

my food stamps (what a surprise). But I got through the day and as

soon as all these tests are done and I am on my way to stablizing, I

am going to start interviewing for a new doctor, one who believes in

Fibromyalgia and Hashimotos, and the other conditions that cause me

pain. Thanks for all the support.

Blessings,

Good for you in looking for a doc who believes in

those diseases and most of all...in you. Mine does.

What a difference it makes. He listens to me and

BELIEVES me. Every complaint I've had has shown

something. Fibro is invisible in a sense but those

trigger points can give clues...and some really

righteous pain when they goof with them.

You do need a doc who believes in you and the disease.

I've had the idiots of the medical world say some of

the dumbest stuff I've ever heard. I don't tell them

I used to be an RNC and what not. I just love to hear

them try to pull their crap on me when they least

expect someone to understand that's what they are

doing. Lazy, lazy docs. They seriously try to bluff

you. That still floors me. I call it neglect. They

should have the decency to recommend you to someone

that does understand.

Try those pain advocate sites to help steer you right

if need be.

Good luck to you.
