My pdoc has called my husband in for another conference. The last one was not fun. It was suggested I go to a facility to detox from all my medications.
It kinda' worked out. I didn't go, just tapered with doctor's help.
Now my husband says my pdoc is concerned that I am getting too many doctors involved. That is, I am going to a university pain clinic that deals with fibromyalgia (among other ailments).
Once again, I thought what a lucky thing. How good! Instead of a gp who just says 'no you can't take drugs' to a team that could, I said could be conservative yet med savvy about those folks like myself who have reactions to everything.
I don't understand the conflict. Again. I am not getting something.
I had to fight for AD treatment (emsam). My gp wants me off all benzos and norco.
But I really have pain. Do these people doubt me? Do they think it's 'all' in my head. You cannot answer, but going to a
good conservative pain clinic affiliated with fibromyalgia research seems more wise than questionable.The other day, when he asked about this dumb barium swallow my endocrinologist requested (I say dumb
because I resisted and if anything shows up it will be because of fibromyalgia. I never test positive for anything), pdoc asks if I am relieved about not having surgery (I said my DO wants to save me from surgery) I said absolutely. I found myself explaining again that I never want surgery again. He asked me like three different ways. I've been seeing him for three years. Again I'm saying No, I don't ever want surgery, hope to never have it again, (I had a bad c-section incident), that I'm probably not a great candidate for surgery. He's writing this down. I don't even glamorize surgery (meaning daydream about it). I have never self injured, no suicide attempts; the idea of being cut makes me woozy.
My blindspot must be a mile wide. What am I not getting?Our meeting is Monday. I'm hoping for calmness by then.
