I AM WILLING TO CONTINUE INJECTIONS TILL THEY NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE NECK ISSUES GOING ON AND FIBROMYALGIA I AM HAVE TROUBLE LOCATING A PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR OUTSIDE OF MY HOME TOWN. MY FAMILY DOCTOR OF 25 PLUS YEARS HAS LEFT TOWN DUE TO THE NEW HOSPITAL SYSTEM HERE. SO I HAVE NO FAMILY DOCTOR. I HAD BEEN ON PAIN MANAGEMENT FOR 11 YEARS AND CAN NOT SEE THAT DOC BECAUSE HE NO LONGER TAKES MY INSURANCE (HIGHMARK BC BS) MY NUROLOGIST OF 11 YEARS HAS RETIRED. I ALSO HAVE BATTLED DEPRESSION AND ANNETY FOR YEARS AND HAD A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN IN 95. I AM BACK TO NO QUALITY OF LIFE, AND IS EFFECTING EVERY PART OF MY LIFE, AND MARRAIGE. MY HUSBAND IS DISTANT BECAUSE I CAN NOT HAVE SEX WITH HIM BECAUSE OF THE PAIN. I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING DOTORS AND DOCTORS I DONT HAVE TO WAIT 6 WEEKS PLUS TO GET INTO AND HAVE BEEN TO ER TOO MANY TIMES. THE DOCTORS I HAVE TRIED HAVE MY RECORDS BUT DO NOT SEEM TO READ MY FULL HISTORY IAM AT MY WITS END, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT OR HOW TO PROCEED I FEEL LIKE A BURDEN TO MY FAMILY AND MY SUPPORT SYSTEM IS SO TIRED OF HEARING OR SEEING ME LIKE THIS SO THEY HAVE BEEN ISOLATING THEMSELVES FROM ME. MY HUSBAND, MY CHILDREN, MY PARENTS, MY BROTHERS ECT. MY FRIENDS DON T EVEN CALL OR STOP BY ANYMORE IT S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND I AM SO FRUSTRATED, CONFUSED AND DEPRESSED AND I HURT IN SO MANY WAYS. I AM ON LYRICA 75MG 2 IN MORNING AND 2 AT NIGHT, AND I ALSO TAKE REMORON 15MG 1 IN MORNING AND 1 AT BED TIME. I USED TO TAKE VICAPROFIN 7.5 MG 4 TIMES A DAY AND SOMA ORINGANALLY 4X A DAY (FOR 10 YEARS) THEN DOC CUT BACK TO 2 TIMES A DAY AND 1 PERCET AT BED TIME FOR 1 YEAR UNTIL LAST AUGUST. THEN IT WAS JUST 2 LYRICA A DAY. THE DOCTOR I SEEN AT CLINIC 2 MONTHS AGO JUST INCREASED LYRICA TO 4 TWICE DAILY AND I AM STILL IN SAME BOAT. HE SAYS I CAN TAKE LYRICA UP TO 900 MG A DAY. I AM NEEDEDING PAIN MANAGEMENT BUT HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR 2 MONTHS TO FIND A DOCTOR LIKE I SAID THAT I CAN SEE IN SHORTER TIME FRAME THAN I ALREADY STATED AND NOT TO MENTION MOST WANT A REFERAL ON TOP OF THAT AND THE DOCTOR I SEEN 2 MONTHS AGO SAYS I HAVE TO BE ESTABLISHED PT FOR AT LEAST 1 YEAR BEFORE HE WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE REFERING ME OR GIVING ME LONG TERM PAIN MANAGEMENT. HE HAS ALL MY RECORDS IN HAND. HE DID PRESCIBE NORCO 7.5 and flexril 5mg but they caused me to not to be able to urinate and ended up in ER where they cathed me and got almost 1100 drained that nite. everyone told me NOT TO TAKE EAITHER OF THOSE MEDS AGAIN BUT WILL NOT PRESCIBE ANY REPLACEMENT MEDS. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN NOT GET ANY HELP FOR MY ISSUES I JUST WANT A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE OR SHOULD I JUST GIVE UP AND STAY CRULED UP IN A BALL BAWLING MY EYES OUT WHILE EVERYONE TURNS THIER BACK ON ME? I JUST DON T KNOW WHERE TO TURN OR WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.
