Hi Gardenergirl,
It's a bad situation - my pain management dr was treating me after i was referred to him more than a year ago- then he started learning about my PTSD and DID? while i was trying to have a nerve-block but kept switching. He doesn't understand DID and thinks that i'm crazy/dishonest or both now. i'm in so much pain- i've tried lots of things to get out of it- gyn surgery- elivil, neurontin, cymbalta- nothing works for the severe pain except opioids. oxycontin with breakthrough oxycodone was working well for more than six months but dr started becoming negative against me - complaining that i didn't have a diagnosis. i don't know if the government is bothering him about precribing - maybe . They shouldn't . i need to have pain control because it's too sharp and constant to live in.
He suddenly became negative about my psych dx and imagined that i have imaginary pain from trauma/ i don't know but it's terribly unfair. He took me off everything that worked and put me on a low dose of morphine compared to what i needed and was taking for almost a year. i had a bad reaction- short of breath and tightness in chest and heart irregularities. My nose became all plugged - i was so sick and went to ER. The dr was so terrible- he knew my psych dx and treated me so badly, accusing me of SI- i don't- didn't believe that i was having a bad reaction. He acted as if i was being dishonest somehow- i didn't get it. it never happened to me before to be treated so badly in an er. Then they told me NOT to take the morphine if i was allergic to it but that they couldn't give me anything else. i was in uncontrolable pain. So i came home and had to look through my drawers for anything i had to get me through until i could see another gyn dr to receive a diagnosis. My diagnosis is pelvic pain. There isn't a known cause yet , ther've been all kinds of tests. There was a pesticide spill and a bone marrow disorder found but they say it doesn't cause the pain.
It's horrible that no one can define or help what's so wrong. i haven't been able to have a normal life because of the pain. Then i went to the pain control dr and finally had relief - until now.
i was taking a large amount because my pain is so severe. It's nerve damage from all the surgeries and trauma i think- there is a name for it.
it's so scary - i was never so afraid and i don't know what will happen. i never had to take medicine for so long before. i hope the gyn dr that i see will help me. Everything depends upon finding a dr that will help me get out of the torture of the pain. There's no way to handle it. It's overwhelming.It's so hard for me now- i don't know if i'll have to quit work and everything if i don't have pain control. It's so unfair that the pain dr stopped helping me.
thanks for being there, Gardenergirl and Everyone. If anyone knows about pain control - please write- thanks,
kerria
