>Dear Gwen, Hi, I'm Sally. I don't think we have talked before, but I know how you feel. We should have control over our medication program (within the limits of our knowledge of course). However, since you know your boady, basically they are demeaning you and turning you into a wayward child who is ignorant and stupid.

Only two pain pills a day with heavy pain is sadistic. Have you printed out the information that Helen Dynda has supplied us. Please look at the recent emails. Also go to http://www.adhesions.org and research and print out things to help you in your own personal battle with the health care system.

thnks sally,
I have changed docs. yet even he wants me to try
the one more injection and then he's done trying
any and all injections.  I feel like if I don't
allow them to do the injection i won't be allowed
to continue with the med routine.  I don't know that for
sure but that's the impression they gave me.  i still
told them I'd think about it.  I feel so pressured.  It's
not  a good place to be.  I am thinking about cancelling
the whole med. program and just stick with physical therapy.
I know if I just meet "again" with this different doctor that
I can get all my questions answered, but I am tired of all the
appointments and all the pressure!  i CAN get my meds from a on-line
pharmacy, and say to heck with them.  i think that's what I'll
probablly end-up doing, if they will still allow to come to
their clinic withoiut seeing a doctor.  Humm?? I wonder.
any comments? thanks!
Gwen
