How To Manage Severe Chronic Pain Caused By Neuroschistosomiasis?
Question: Hello, Ive been living with neuro shitomiosis, mitochondrial disease as well as brain tumors, lesions on brain and bones as well as Addisons and late stage lyme disease. My doctor does not belive in pain control or death with dignity. I have begged her for palliative care since Ive already spent 3 weeks awake on life support. Im exhasted. the seizures/pain are unbearable. I cannot even walk my dog anymore and dogs are my passion. My urine is brown and she said , Yeah you probably have liver, spleen issues. The neurological stuff is beyond...Please help. I live in Oregon and she wont refer me to a comapssionate care doctor...this is going on 30 yrs now of late diagnosis. the lyme and shistio flukes are already in my frontal lobe...this is anything but dignified. If i dont get my pain managed I will just have to do it myself which is so sad.
