Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I was actually attacked by a schizophrenic client. Although, my supervisor was forcing us to force him to do something he didn't want... so it was expected. Actually, I'm not on any meds. I can only get 2 doctors to see me - the WC doc who originally saw the signs of RSD and sent me to be diagnosed but is now saying that there's absolutely nothing wrong with me, and a neurologist I saw in Indianapolis. But I can't get into him until the middle of January. So my primary doc is the WC doc who doesn't do crap for me. I'm on no meds, no pt, no nothing. Because my RSD originated in my left hand, I can't even get any docs to look at my legs now that it's spread. I had 5 stellate ganglion nerve blocks that were successful, but didn't give the desired length of time and then the pain management docs kept switching around my meds. I had a lot of side effects, but the only thing that worked was mexilatine 200mg daily. But the neurologist took me off of that since the risks outweigh the benefits and put me on Bextra which doesn't work. I was on elavil for a week, but the WC doc didn't give my any refills and hasn't seen me since. Okay.. I've been rambling. Sorry. I tend to do that. Have a good day all. This seems to be a much more active group than the other I'm in. I like it. ) Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
