Went back to the workers comp doc today because today I had a new symptom as I got out of bed, numbness in my hands, at first I thought they were asleep, but it didn't go away, now I have to get an MRI done on my neck, and most likely some physical therapy. Got taken off the muscle relaxers, and put on predazone. Doc said that should take away the pain pretty quickly. I hope so, and he said by the looks of me, I should have never taken the relaxers in the first place because I looked completely depleted and exhausted, and of course that was true, and all I've done is sleep. I am really beginning to distrust the whole medicale system. Cause guess what, they still think I should go to work. I'm sorry, but if I am still having shooting pains with every step I take, and can't completely feel with my hands, I'm not going to drive an hour to get there, and suffer through as many hours as I can just to say, yeah I went to work, doc. Oh well, hopefully, the steroids will do the trick, and get me out of the funk I am in. The doc also said that the relaxers were counteracting my pills, and to be sure to tell the therapist about it tomorrow, cause she is going to see right away that something is wrong, and will want to take me off all the meds, and just leave the paxil. Enough of me whining. I won't even go into the $4000 bill I just got from the hospital that insurance has denied! I know it will end, I will get my happy face back, but dammit, I am getting tired of feeling like this.

Go ahead and vent. You have a good reason to do so. Be very careful. Document all symptoms as they happen w/ times & dates. This could be useful in the future. Also good for doctors as well. Hang in there sweetie. All is not lost. You feelings are correct. I would be ticked off too. Hang on. Here if you need me. :-)
