I can't beleive this! Mood
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
My face, eyes ,feet & lower legs are swollen. Called my dr who told me to stop the fentayl,called the sleep Dr & she had me stop the provigil& went to my regular allergist appt & he said what are u doing here I didnt prescribe these meds you should see your primary care. Tried to explain but he basically blew me off. My older daughter is mad @ me cause she thought the primary care told me to stop the patches earlieir.Can it get any worse? What happens when I just stop the patches? I havent been on them that long. Feel like crap! Wish I was dead!

    This is probably a terrible thing to say but it has to get better as it seems like it can't get any worse. I have faith that you will pull through it regardless of the nonsense the dr's are doing. You are a strong person

    Oh Laura, what a heavy heart I have for you. You are going through a tough time and I wish I could give you a real hug.There is a lot of contraversy about prescibed drugs these days. Dr's are in big trouble for over-prescribing pain meds. I used to be on the fentnyl patch, along with other heavy pain meds, and when I came off of them although I was weened off, I went through some terrible withdrawels. I hate to say it, but I ended up in the hospital twice before I beat it. I hope that does not happen to you.
    I also wish you would stop talking about wishing you were dead. Life is short, and we have to cherish each moment of it. I know all about the pain and despair, and I know about the depression too. Someday I will tell you about it., but right now, I am concerned for you. Please try to pick yourself up, and brush yourself off, and get on with life. Pain Meds are OK, but they only mask the problems we have. Try to get a doctor who can get to the bottom of it, and fix it the best he can. Try the Mayo clinic, or Cleveland clinic., if you can. You are in my thoughts and Prayers daily. Hugs to you dear.

    Honey, get a new dr who will listen to you and either manage your pain or even diagnose and treat it if possible. And please seek professional help for your depression. Suicide is not the solution.
