Let the Blackness Roll On...
My titles as of late, I don't know if any of you realized, but are excerpts from lyrics of some of my favorite songs........(Yeap mostly metal) The one above is from Acid Bath's "Bleed Me An Ocean" Music makes me forget about things that are going on here in the "real" world.........
Pain Management was well weird. Essentially pain management doctors are anesthesiologists who help to treat chronic pain by well prescribing medication. There are other ways, but I think they only use the EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS or SYMPATHETIC NERVE BLOCKS in extreme cases where the medications do not work. So what am I on you ask? Well for one............When he started to talk to me, it was like he was in my head. That is what I meant by meaning weird. It would have been like he was in the room with my husband and I arguing why I can't pick up the kids because I hurt to bad. He gave examples of EVERYTHING that I have pretty much experience on a social basis in dealing with people and pain. And what did I do? I just busted out started crying...........When the nurse asked if I was depressed, I said No of course not. LIE LIE LIE, DENY DENY DENY. The doctor could see right through it though, possibly because he has dealt with so many patients like me and he has pain issues himself, so it was nice talking to someone who understands the physical as well as emotional impact Pain has on a person. I am now on an antidepressant for the umpteenth time. None have really worked before, maybe this one will be different. I am also on a Muscle relaxer that is given to pediatric patients so it doesn't make me loopy he says (Musle relaxers never made me loopy though) and a non-narcotic Pain Reliever that I don't think works to well :( But that is okay as he said he might have to switch medicines and try different things till I start feeling relief.....I have to see him once a month and they are very strict as far as medicine refills are concerned. I can only get them filled at one pharmacy. There is a possibility that they could spring a surprise drug test on me just to make sure I am not taking anything I am not supposed to or more medicine than I am supposed to be taking (which is never an issue for me, I take them as I am told) I also had to sign this contract to be treated with Narcotics, something the state of Louisiana needs? I guess so they won't get suspicious of my monthly refills? Who knows.........Anyway I am not worried about that shit. I just want pain relief, which I don't feel at the moment. I was just able to get my meds filled yesterday so it is only my second day, will give it time.........But I think I might have to make a call next week.........We shall see how it goes!
Anyway I need to go to the post office to mail out a box. So I will go read my daily reads in a bit and say hi to you all
