LIVING WITH CHRONIC PAIN…..

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I am EXTREMELY frustrated with how those of us with a major medical issue, and needing help with pain, are treated!

BECAUSE of the recent Opiate issue, those of us who REALLY need the help, are denied.

We’re told to go to the ER, which ISN’T helpful, because they WON’T even help treat us.

Especially IF we are under a Dr.’s care!?!

No one wants to contribute, much less be accused, of condoning it.

Even IF the Patient NEEDS it!?!

Nope, DENIED!

“Go to Pain Management”, is the reply.

Pain Management won’t treat you IF you’re NOT being treated there.

And IF you are under a Specialist’s care, they DEFINITELY will NOT treat you!?!

NOT all of us are seeking pain meds to get HIGH, people!?

I have 2 Ruptured Disc’s in my lower back.

One of the Disc’s actually has Membrane squishing OUTSIDE of the Vertabrae, pushing into Nerves.

This is EXTREMELY painful, if you’ve never experienced it.

And when you have no one willing to HELP?

Well, quite honestly, I can see WHY people buy their Drugs off the street without a legal Prescription.

OR do something more drastic to END their pain!

Being turned AWAY from a Facility that is SUPPOSED to help you, is quite unnerving, and in MY opinion, is unacceptable!

Doctor’s take an OATH, to serve, so when does that NOT apply!?

I’m very confused.

Frustrated,

AND extremely Angry!

I do not have a very high pain threshold when it comes to SEVERE pain.

And THIS is one of those times!

So, what do I do?

I have to basically “suck it up”, because everyone wants to wash their hands of the situation.

That’s not fair to ME!?!

Or to ANYONE else for that matter.

This seriously needs to stop!

SOMETHING needs to change.

And it starts with our MEDICAL Staff!

I’m PRETTY sure you CAN spot the difference between an Addict, and somone who TRULY needs the help.

Stop being so concerned with your own liability,

And HELP those of us who are IN acute PAIN!

That’s a novel concept!?

One MOST Dr.’s won’t concern themselves with.

It certainly doesn’t comfort those of us who are in SEVERE pain!

Enough already!

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read my Blog! It may be painful, and relateable, but more than anything, my HOPE is that you will LAUGH with me, because this journey isn't easy! TRYING to see the humor is what I HAVE to do...because just like you, it gives me the opportunity to feel like a "normal" person...even IF it's short lived! I have suffered from an Eating Disorder for over 30+ years, and recently went to Treatment due to an intense and debilitating Relapse, for the very first time. I'm just trying to find my way....💗💔💗

  1. The issue with the opioid epidemic is ludicrous and I do not believe it 100%. I kind of think the government had something to do with creating the epidemic to divide all of us against the other. Drug companies want us to need medications because that pads their pockets and I almost think the drug companies are the ones that rule the United States. During the 18 years I have battled with Multiple Sclerosis my pain has only increased making it hard to ignore. However, I refuse to allow this illness to win the battle and will never surrender to the pharmaceutical companies. I look forward to reading more of your posts and hope if you have time you will check out my site! I do the best I can to to spread as much positivity as I can, while keeping everything real and honest, Take care and I hope you have a great day!
