I try to look at it this way; if I were diabetic, I wouldn¹t feel one bit of guilt about taking insulin. People in chronic pain need medications sometimes just like people with diabetes, or any other disease. But, as with any medication, proper supervision is also needed to ensure that the medication does what it¹s intended to do, and nothing else. The thinking is slowly changing in this country. Pain is finally being given address, thanks be. -- Robbie in FL, co-moderator chronic_pain. feralelf@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Well... if they listed it as a physical injury then that would be bad for their business. First, it would be one less diagnosis they can use to siphon $$$ from the dumb insurance companies. Second, it would mean that they don't get the sadistic pleasure of insulting us further by saying that it's all in our heads. And third, it might wake up the pathologists to the fact that mental/fictitious diseases are completely devoid of science and are actually voted into and out of existence. So in a nutshell (no pun intended) if psychiatrists did the right thing for a change or used any common sense for that matter, it would cause a lot of problems for them. Wake up and realize that they just care about us at all, they only care about their wallets getting fatter. > > So, I was viewing this page today: > > http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-z02.html > > And in table 2, it lists sexual dysfunction as a psychiatric disorder, rather than a physical ailment (like nausea). > > I wonder, if they re-categorized it as a physical ailment, then maybe they'd actually study it, instead of leaving it with the same people who created it in some of us. > > Anyways, it's just a thought... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
