I am having such a hard time getting adequate pain meds from my doctor.
I talk to her on the phone and she constantly tells me she is worried I
am becoming addicted. I told her that I was in a great deal of pain and
can not function without help for the pain. She took that to mean I was
addicted! She seemed to understand when I spoke with her a few days ago
and told me she would prescribe enough for me to get through an upcoming
vacation (and I use that word with hesitation...we are going to my
inlaws) but she only prescribed half the amount she told me she would. I
think I will definetly print out some of those articles and send them to
her. I don't know how to make my doctors understand that without
adequate help for the pain...I don't see a future for me. I am unable
to take care of my son and basic necessity's of life. With the meds...I
am at least somewhat able to function. I am almost to the point that
I'm wishing my cancer wasn't found and my life was simply
shorter..instead of prolonged with all this pain. Someone has to help.
Is there a web site about the docs in PA or Dr. Redwine? Can you send
me info? Thanks so much...
