Thanks to all that cared and pray

[Guest guest]

Rhonda,

I am so glad that you finally got your prescriptions. I am hoping and praying that this new Dr. is a good one, and treats you as well as you deserve to be treated.

Please don't let this go. Write to as many people as you can... please be careful in what you say. Doctors have deep pockets and you don't need a liable suit brought against you. Use "my opinion" and "my feeling about this is". Very important.

Of course, the prayers and thoughts are still with you.

Hugs,

Jo

Where do I start as I sit here crying to know that so many of you

care so much and have also prayed for me.

Thanks to Jo, Lin, , Barbara, Lori, Mark and everyone. Your

responses help give me strength and also bring me to tears of joy. I

cant ever thank you enough for supporting me through this time.

I do want you all to know I finally got my prescriptions on Tuesday,

which was almost 5 days late. Thankfully, since I am not a drug

abuser I had extra left to carry me over to that point. I was ready

and willing to go to the ER if I did run out.

I am going to handle this through the ACLU and through Jefferson

County Medical Society here in Louisville, KY.

Like Jo said, I dont believe that I have a legal case of dropping me

as all the doctors who specialize in pain management here are doing

this. I saw my old doctor on TV saying that they are getting

together with the police and having a private meeting and in the

future will hold public ones. I plan on attending even if I have to

go in a wheelchair.

I do have my meds to last me until I have my new appt with a new

doctor that I pray will have the compassion and understanding I

thought that the one I have been seeing for 3 1/2yrs had. Wow, was I

wrong.

Barbara, please dont worry about me doing anything bad to myself. I

have bad thoughts but would never ever do anything to hurt myself

more than I have already been.

The only recourse I may have is the poor way this was handled and I

know I cant be the only one that was treated this way. The medical

staff there showed to me just how immature, uncaring, and most of

all unprofessional they are. That alone is an injustice and hurt me

more than they care to know.

Please, keep all the prayers coming. I see they are working and I

thank all of you for being there. I feel bad that I am now the one

in pain and just cant seem to be there for others at this time. It

makes me feel selfish even though I know that is not me.

Also, thanks for the info of the local group in my area. I will be

going to my first meeting next Thursday.

This group and all of you in it makes RSD hurt a little less. I

appreciate everything all of you have done for me and others.

All of you are in my prayers daily.

Sincerely,

Rhonda Sheets

Rhonda,

I am so glad that you got your prescription and have enough medication to last you now until you see the new doctor. There is no need to thank me but you're welcome and if you ever need anyone to talk to I am always here. If you do go to one of those meetings you will have to let us know how it went. I love your commitment to go even, as you say, if you have to go in a wheelchair, but please remember to take care of you first before anything else. I hope the new doctor works out well for you - as they say things happen for a reason and maybe this doctor will be better for you than your old doctor was. I hope the new support group also goes well for you as well, to be able to meet with people face to face will be wonderful. I'm looking into starting one here myself because the hospital near me has a support group for Lupus and for Fibromyalgia, so I'm thinking they might do one for RSD if requested, but I'm trying to get through my treatment first and hopefully feel a little better to do this. Anyway, I hope you find as much support and kindness in your local group as you do here. Take care and I"ll talk to you soon. I hope everyone has a great day, I have to get busy working but will be back late afternoon.

<hugs> Lori

Rhonda,

I'm hoping that the new doc is what you are looking for.

If you could see a doctor elsewhere, that someone else tells you is great....you could always use AngelFlights to get there and back if it's a long trip.
