Well another Waste OF MY VALUABLE TIME.

EAR DOC
Making me do a ENG balance test Thursday morning, have to be off ALL MEDS Starting tomorrow until after the test.

Back doc is sending me to YUCKY pain management glorified PT, even though the L4 is about shot. Nothing about the neck, other than I have bone spurs and those suckers hurt, as does the T disc in the middle of my bra band.

Well they will find I will NOT take their STUPID DRUGS, my arthritis doc threw up his hands and said IF YOU CAN’T TAKE arthritis meds I can’t help you...well this is going to be the same exact thing, I can’t even take aspirin or Advil more than once a week, tears up my entire GI Track.

He is also sending my to a Peripheral Neuropathy specialist for my calves and feet. Another waste of money and time...they have NO way to replace the FAT that has vanished out of my feet. I’ve tried Lyrica and threw the 50% failure rate crap in the trash can after 2 pills that shot my pain level in hands and feet from a 3 to a 10 in less than an hour, second pill got my back. Gabapentin is another such drug, they are anti seizure drugs. My eldest tried both and threw them away for the same reason, they ATTACK hands, feet and back with unbelievable PAIN!

Silicone is in the trial phase, which leaves me out as Medicare/Tricare Life does NOT cover experimental stuff.

I AM FED UP, hurting and upsetting my husband who has high BP issues.

Why in the world can’t the STUPID MEDICAL PROFESSION understand some people can’t take their sucky side effect riddled drugs! I’ve done the PT, the pain meds which now no longer work, and 3 failed nerve blocks!

I'm So Sorry for All you are Going through, Dear Gail, and my Heart and Prayers are with you.
I have Some Issues with my Stomach because of Prescription Arthritis Drugs I Took in the Past, and Wish there was Something Better we could Take.
The Side Affects from these Strong Meds are Bad. :(

(((((Many Loving Hugs and Prayers)))))
