Thank you all so much for you advice. It helps alot to be able to vent about how frustrating this is. I had no idea that there were docs who devote there practice to treating endo, I will defenitly...
Donna, I'm so sorry about the pain your daughter is experiencing and having to help her in a way that could be painful. I cant imagine what you must be feeling right now not being able to take the...
Thank you so much , I have endo. It have treated it with Lupron and depot but have a heart condition that doesnt allow me to tolerate the hormones. They cant remove the endo from where its located...
Still have room for one more??? I'd love some drink and food but my darn bladder says I cant so maybe I should start my pity party off with the fact that I feel left out even at the pity part..LOL! I...
I've been seeing my pain doc for a while now. I do really like her and think she is a sincere woman who really does care about her patients. But with that said I am completely frustrated with her...
I've missed you all too:) I'm happy to be back! I guess its all just different opinions, feelings and levels of comfortability. My husband swears its because were New Yorkers. I dont really know if I...
Hi mrsm I'm talking about expensive gifts. Things that you would pay alot of money for... Maybe I didnt make that clear enough. I dont see anything wrong with small gestures of appriciation. LBut to...
I say report him. Doctors like him need to be reported before he really hurts someone. If he convinces himself out of arogance that nothing is wrong with someone and doesnt take care to be gental...
Thanks all for your feedback. I agree Cards, fruit baskets stuff like that I see as appriciation. But for some reason I guess I see expensive gifts and lunches differently. Especially if the gifts...
Hi all!! Havent been on for a while. Lots going on! I hope everyone has been doing well and having LP! So this is more of a how do you feel/what do you do question. The other day I heard about this...
I agree melissa, even if I didnt have IC which makes cystoscopies really painful I wouldnt want to do it conciously. But I am surprised Pamela that there goingto take a biopsy for cancer wothout at...
Sorry brain laps...a hydrodistention is to fill your bladder with fluid 3 or 4 times its capacity and then to drain it out to see if there are any abnormalities when your bladder returns to normal...
Hi Pamela Although a cystoscopy does include anesthesia it is not invasive as they go through your urethra. A laperoscopy is the one throug hyour belly button to look around your abdomen. When you...
Thanks for the suggestion..I knew mold grows in dark damp places but didnt even consider that. Because I am afraid of the dark(sad isnt it) I keep the bathroom light on all night and there is an...
Ry that is hilarious, thanks for posting that...quite a good laugh tonight! I feel so upset that this psych caused you to feel so badly DiLane. Quite the opposite effect that is to be expected. I of...
I just wanted to say Hi and welcome to this wonderful forum! I am somewhat new here also and have never seen so much compassion and knowlege in one place...even a room full of DR's(if you scratch the...
I am blown away by this information. Not in the way that I think it's a terrible thing but more in the way that I had absolutly no idea. I of course would be mortified and frightened if my personl...
It's unfortunitly too late to warn them. she went into labor before I saw them and wont be coming back until there ready. The owner I know was never sited for the mold. He passed away last year which...
Please Stay... we ALL make up this really great community together. We would miss you if you left. You didnt do anything wrong. Maybe just the way you said it. And we've either all done that before...
Is there a data base for everyone taking any narcotic or is that just the case for methadone? If someone types in my name will my script info come up? If that is the case that is a little scary As...
I'd say, try some non-narcotic pain control methods or natural herbs while you try and get a new Pm doc. Anti-depressants, anti-convulsants and some non-narcotic anti-anxieties like Hydroxozine can...
Thanks PAlady..I'm glad I'm making some sense. Sometimes I get so tired I dont even understand my own thoughts! I do hope that everyone who doesnt have a daignosis yet will get answeres soon as maybe...
That is scary stuff! We defenitly could move if need be. It's not the preferred situation. But of course if it is the dangerous kind of mold, we wouldnt want to be here anyway. Your then actually...
Thank you NVR, That is great info. I'm pretty sure the headaches and itching are from the mold and sometimes I do feel like I cant breath. I sleep near the bathroom because of my condition. We have...
My hubby and I have had black mold in our bathroom which has absolutly no ventilation. We live in this huge mansion built in 1850 which is sectioned off into "apartments" Every other person who lives...
Oh just wanted to make sure everyone knew when I was saying "common sense" to know something it didnt come out as I intended and actually sounds rude. I so didnt mean for it to sound that way!...
Havent posted in a while as I've been completely wiped out for some reason. Love reading the posts but dont always have the energy to type. I just wanted to quickly weigh in on this as I have one of...
Hi Gabbs I am sorry to hear you are having such awful pain! You did not mention medication(or maybe I just mised it) Have you ever taken anything to help ease the pain a bit. Maybe seeing a pain...
Thank PaLady for the oxycontin info. Have not had one since switching to the brand name. The brand name seems better all around! Shelter, thank you for sharing that with me. Perhaps I do need to...
Hi PaLady, I have delt with the same thing. I was supposed to see a dear friend of mine visiting from London and my family in CAlifornia who came in for a weekend. I decided not to do either, I was...
Just wanted to welcome you to the forum although I unfortunitly am not familiar with the laws in the UK. I have never accessed my records and would be a bit scared to do it. Not sure I want to know...
I used Ambien for a week about a year ago. My problem was initially falling asleep not staying asleep so my PCP opted for the regular Ambien. It worked very well. I imagine ambien CR would be very...
PaLady, I am with you on your fear of leaving your surgeons office and on the hope that things will improve and the surgery just needs more time to heal. I know when I was first put on oxycontin last...
I think I might call them also just to let them know. My thinking would be, if a count is done and there are pills missing, they may think they were stolen from a worker or something and they may be...
Muzz So happy you are feeling much better and that the patch seems to be doing it's job for you. If the lyrica isnt working yet, perhaps you will feel even better once it starts to do what it's ment...
ohh how sweet! Glad you have a kitty to cuddle when you see her. Can make all the difference soem days. Its hard to cuddle my husband when I'm in pain but cats are small and fuzy, pillows wich love...
Gramps, I'm sorry this trip has turned out to be another hospital disapointment. I feel your frustration. Wish they had the answeres or at the very least a bit more of a lead on what path to follow....
Oh Painkiller sorry I misread the posts and for some reason saw PaLadys name on yours...trick of the eyes early morning!! I will look forward to your view PaLady when you are feeling up to it. its a...
Iagree the generic was terrible. The first one I took was round and that one wasnt so bad but the oblong football looking one was awful. Defenitly a diffrence for me!...
I agree with PaLadys question. Are you coming off because your doc would like you to or because you would like to? If you still have such terrible pain, there are other options to try if you dont...
I agree PaLady, with everything you have just said. I am fasinated with dreams, life, souls...mainly all we cannot see. The physical is so easy. Not in the way of our pain. But it is tangable visible...
Hi Dixiecrystal I unfortunitly cant help you much with the MRI, but wanted to welcome you to the forum. You'll find that everyone here is very knowlegable and supportive so I'm sure someone wil be...
So glad you are there safe and sound. Hope you are able to knock down the pain and relax. I always like staying in Hotels, no added stress of having to clean up! Take it easy and good luck for...
Yes Gramps, you will be in my thoughts as you go to Cleveland for your appointment. Hope you walk out feeling listened to and validated. Many Hugs and Prayers Frya...
Nizzan, Congrats on the victory...Of course it is a win for you. It's admission by the hospital itself that the clain was not true! I do agree that the PA should have corrected you when you kept...
Hi All This topic is defenotly okay by me! I too am happy to have found some friends to talk about these things with! Except I'm mentioning a disclaimer incase anyone thinks I'm a looney toon! I'm...
Thanks for thinking of me Ry! I'm so glad you did. I have never done a trial but would love to check it out and see what its all about. Ones for IC seem to be non-existant! Wouldnt mind getting free...
Hi Jennca, welcome or welcome back to the forum! I'm pretty new, so if you've been around for a while I havent met you! I have been on both Oxy and Percocet. There very similiar because they are the...
Thanks all! I feel a little sick to my stomach and a little tired, but it is a bit stronger and taking care of my pain more too so I guess it's a trade off until I adjust. I was so angry at my...
PaLady I wish you would give us a little help in that area when you feel up to it. You and I have alot in common whe it comes to these things and although I have never done much witting down or...
