Is there a reason I am taking this pill? I’ve taken 5 on the scheme of getting on this and well, it sucks. I feel nothing different more than my blood pressure starting to go back up and my heart rate faster than when I used to jog (I’m probably exaggerating but when you feel your freaking pulse doing nothing?) I’m stiff as hell. My head kills. Today, I’ve got a new stabbing pain in my back and my elbow killing me.
When I started the Cymbalta, I felt drugged. But, I didn’t feel pain. I went into Urgent Care yesterday. I assumed oh time for another lovely Torodal injection. WRONG. My Urgent Care Doctor asked me when I got put on Voltaren. Oh, _____ put me on it on Monday after my Torodal shot. “Those two together are gonna kill your kidneys Jenna. Have you taken one today?” Yup. Don’t know why it hasn’t done crap. “Then you can’t have Torodal. Definitely not within 24 hours. Uh wait WHAT!?!” I was told on Monday to “take one when I got home” Yeah, uh right after the Torodal. Way to go Dr. I also got told that my primary care but it as I was “non-compliant” in getting an MRI. Uh no. I said I could not drive all the way to Des Moines to have it done considering my husband’s surgery. I also said how am I supposed to have an MRI of my head when I have METAL SCREWS in my jaw.
Putting non-compliant on my file? Really. Excuse my language but uh Fuck Off Doctor. You’ve been my doctor since I was 16. Seriously? Oh wait, that’s right. You’re also the person that told me whether I am in pain or not, I still have to get up everyday. You’re also the doctor that told me I didn’t have Fibromyalgia. Can I give you my thoughts on that since the doctor you referred me to about Fibromyalgia was not impressed with you. I really want to walk in and go NEENER NEENER I told you so.
I’m in pain. It sucks. It also has made me take a look at “friends”. I hear too often “Oh Jenna, you should have called I could have helped.” That’s funny, last time I tried that, you didn’t respond. I just deleted about 40 people from my Facebook. Will they even notice I’m gone?

If you deleted me, I’d know. That being said, I’m so angry for you. It’s ridiculous you have to go through this. I hear ya on the MRI thing. When I was hospitalized last year for migraine (Remember?) they wanted to MRI my head. Uh, right. About that reconstructive jaw surgery I had? The 5 titanium plates with 5 screws in each and titanium twist tie thingies in my cheeks? Yeah, sounds like great fun. :p I really hope you get some answers soon. If not, maybe I’ll come kick your doctors in the ass. 🙂

I’m so over Doctor’s. I’ve given up and I used to be a nurse. So I definitely hear you loud and clear.
Hey, and what about the time I found in my chart where it was written I was an alcoholic even though I don’t drink at all and never did. Purposely never drank because I grew up with my Dad as a practicing alcoholic until he went on the wagon when I was sixteen. I know why they put I was an alcoholic in my chart, it’s because they filed someone else’s emergency room faxed record into my chart. We didn’t even have names that were similiar her first name started with an H, mine with an L, her last name started with an M, and mine with an H. Go figure. Don’t the Doctor’s read the names on the things in the charts. I had to point this out to them. I was so hopping mad. I made sure numerous other patient’s and staff heard me. I said take this out of my chart right here and now and in front of me write that I am and never was an alcoholic and that it was information for another patient’s file. They did, because I think they knew if they didn’t I’d sue.
I haven’t seen a Doctor since last year even though I really need to. My husband wanted to take me to the ER on Friday because my pain was so bad, but I said no, why, they don’t listen. They won’t do the tests I need, they just refer me back to the stupid military docs who don’t listen and don’t believe anyone but active duty soldier’s, if even that.
I wish I was rich and could afford to go to docs of my own choosing, but ahh well.
Hang in there the best you can with Docs who probably paid someone off to get through med school.
I’m so sorry you are in pain like this. As a chronic pain sufferer, I know it SUX. Praying you get some relief.
