Only Jesus.....
OK, the latest nonsense, I went to yet another "expert", wanting to do more tests and has a sign up in the exam room "NO NARCOTICS EXCEPT FOR POST-OP. SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN." I became livid! What was I here for? Further, my local hospital, yes, that is wrong term, failed to put my correct records on the disk for review or to load them on the computer system! So, driving for 1 1/2 hours in pain, spending funds I don't have to get nothing.
I did lose it on Ms Teenie Bopper Barbie and when she said "Lets run more tests" I had to nail myself down. No, I didn't go postal but was able to manage to speak thru clinced teeth. I stated, "NO MORE TESTS. I can't afford it. I am in financial debt from doing all the same tests that were done 12 yrs ago. I was placed on medicine which kept me stable as I could be." She then wanted to know what meds. OK, thinking maybe I've a shot here and told her. She then had the AUDACITY to tell me that I was in pain because I "needed" the meds as my body had become "dependent" on them.
Again, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and spoke thru clenched teeth. I stated, "No, I was not an addict that I had not had meds for my condition since MAY and that my prior dr had stated I was not addicted as I didn't cop a buzz but was dependent to remain functioning." Yes, Ms Teenie Bopper Barbie looks at me and says "How long were you on the meds?" I replied 10-12 yrs. She the responds "Your body would be going thru pain of withdrawal because you were on them so long." I kept telling her NO that I just dropped them all cold turkey. She still with the wide eyed look of youth and non-comprehension, repeated I was physically addicted, to go to the ER, or my physician for help.
ARGH!!!!! If I go to the ER, I can't afford the bill, also they will only give me a few meds and lastly, they will black list me as a druggie. So, drs say go to ER and ER says go to your dr. Can you say HELL or PURGATORY?
Don't know how I will survive this winter........
