Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hi all, just need to sound off, so pardon me please! I went to my Internist yesterday and was absolutely floored! I have diab II, fibromyalgia, PA and have been in terrible pain to the point I have not slept more than 6 hours in the last 5 days. I went to this DR to try to cut down on meds, consult about bloodwork, and generally let her know I'm going to a pain clinic to get a nerve block---what I got from her instead was more meds (blood pressure was sky high, gee--could it be because of no sleep and pain?) and was then told I was " too young to be such a mess " (I agree) and that I should get a job so that I would have a more " structured day " this Dr has no idea of my life style and just assumes I just " lay around the house " yeah right--in my wildest dreams! I explained to her I'm raising a Bi-polar teenager, I do all the housework and upkeep, painting, laying floors, ect shopping and I buy virtually no convienence foods, everything is made from scratch, plus I make 85% of the clothing we wear so I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT FROM LAZINESS! Plus I craft for craft shows to " pull my own weight at home " on the financial end--but this DR doesn't even have the courtesy to back pedal a little. Why is it housewives are branded with being " lazy' and unmotivated? ERRRRRR! Then because I complain I am not sleeping she gives me drugs because in her words " I need to be knocked out so I can sleep! " So how does that translate into getting a job when I'm being drugged to sleep? Well this is the end of my rant--sorry it's so long. Have a nice weekend all.
