Saephyr Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 :tear :tear :tear :tear :tear :tear Ok this is an official rant. Had a UTI, you know pissing razors...called my GYN knowing that it can be due to the Endo complications. He treated it. Got it again less than 2 weeks later, called agiain...he called in drugs for me. Called every 3rd day for almost 3 weeks to no avail until I FINALLY got a human on the phone. I was told "You need to go to your GP." Asking why was just about as dumb as the answer. I finally am well enuff to go out. I have been walking with my stick and the pain is back full tilt so I need it. I go to the GYN office which is 2 blocks from the GP office. I sign in was told he had a delivery and would be back in a while. Explained what someone said about my infection and went down the street and told my doc what was up. He said things like why is he not treating you?, this can be due to your immune deficency is he not doing bloodwork?, why won't he give you the Hysterectomy to end this?, is all this bleeding causing extreme fatigue?, you told him you were BLEEDING and they didn't see you right away? So yeah, it fueled my fire ok. I drove back to the GYN. guess what they said. It's too late in the day...he's leaving now. The bitch never asked him if he could see me since i have been BLEEDING for over 3 months!!! She gave me an appointment for the 27th...AFTER my family is in my face and scared to death when they see how awful I look. I'll be drunk until the 27th I guess to keep this pain in check. Vicodin is crap ok...crap. I may just take myself to the ER for a treat and make them call his rotten ass to deal with me. I can't...but I want to give up. Even my therapist won't see me until the fucking 4th of January..how do ya like that shit? I'll take any donations of higher than 750 Vicodin I can handle guys. This is maddening. Not upsetting maddening, as in may drive me into the freak house for a while!!! WTF do these assholes think of me? They have the proof and yet they don't take me seriously in the least! My boyfriend USED to be my big strong defender in this. He's gone and I can only let my folks do what they can. They are the whole reason I'm alive and can still even smile at all. my sis too naturally. I dont know if I can really do this. I'm losing my will to try and it's so unfair. Can you all help me with some words of wisdom or intelligence to throw at these people so I can make myself heard? I can't even THINK of what to say or where to begin. I need help
Fierce Critter Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I so have never experienced the sort of thing you're going through, so I have no wisdom. Sympathy that I know is useless, but it's there, if that helps at all. The best I can offer you is to say that it does look like something - SOMETHING - is going to be done for you before the end of the year. This is a suck way to end the year. But if, on the 27th, something finally can be done for you - it's also a good period, you know? Also, you DID try to get this taken care of by going through normal channels - but at this point, I'm not sure you'd be at all out of line to take yourself to the ER immediately. Bleeding is NOT something to mess around with. My dad is prone to bleeding ulcers and I got a call yesterday that he visited his GP for a current bout and the GP sent him to the hospital. He is spending tonight there for observation. Saephyr, I've enjoyed knowing you on the board and in person at CC. I wish I could do more for you. And I know you don't want to hear about how 4 days from now, you might get some help when all you want is that help NOW. But please hang in there. I wish I could do more. I really do.
Brenda Starrr Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I would be so pissed. Imean, how the Hell can they just blow you off, knowing what's been happening with you? I wish that I had some words of wisdom. Hell, I wish I had a magic wand to make it all go away for you. Just try to keep strong. You really can do it, despite the apparent difficulty. *Hugs*
Homicidalheathen Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Is it no surprise we self medicate in this country? Booze and pot work for me as all pain meds that are legal and prescribed seem to cause constipation. And that just leads to more ouch.
kellygrrrrrl Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Ditto on that one Homicide....... I have had the same issues with the Reproductive organs...... I found vicodin does not really help. I actually just used combinations of Asprin and Ibuprophin, and Homicides self-medicating regimine......
honeymustard02 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I hope you were joking about that whole drinking thing. Why isn't your doctor doing anything about this? Find a new GYN, sounds like you have a shitty one right now. Personally I would see about getting a lawyer and going after him for malpractice or something,.
Saephyr Posted December 24, 2005 Author Posted December 24, 2005 All I know gals it this...I went to ER yesterday. Said I have a migraine and huge pelvic pain. They doped me up and sent me home. They just got me high for my migraine and ignored everything I said about having Endo and pelvic pains. I get up at 9am and BAM...my knees are so sore I can not walk. I mean it. I tried. I am taking a bhot bath and going into ER with attitude and a large novel to read and if they don't do something I'll take off heads. Like that would help at all. HM ...yes I'm serious about booze. I have no recourse. I can't get relief from Vicodin and not ONE doctor in this damned state will wrie me for Oxycontin. I knowthe stuff is addictive but dammit, I'm not even addicted to cigarettes! I can't stand letting anything control me and my pain counselors know this so what in hell ? Am I being punished here. This is just ridiculous!
Saephyr Posted December 25, 2005 Author Posted December 25, 2005 Won't do fuq of good anyway. I won't see anything that actually works until I hit the ER and I'll tell the damned insurance company WHY too.
Saephyr Posted December 25, 2005 Author Posted December 25, 2005 My legs hurt so bad I had to drink absinthe until 3:30 am on Xmas eve, I called my x like a dick, i tried to get y love to come y and snuggle with me adn all for naught. Someone help!
Saephyr Posted December 25, 2005 Author Posted December 25, 2005 OFFICIAL NEWS FLASH AFTER BEING UP ALL NIGHT DRINKING AND EATING VICODIN UNTIL 5 AM I'LL BE IN THE ER AFTER I DROP MY K9 OVER AT MY FAMILY'S HOUSE. FUCKING LOVE THE HOLIDAYS MAN! CAN'T SOMEONE HELP ME HERE JEESH...I SWEAR I'LL BE GOOD :tear
Nienna Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Lord honey.. *Hugs* I wish there were something i could do. I'm almost in the same boat as you these days though. :(
Fierce Critter Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Saephyr - I hope to hear from you soon, and pain-free... My thoughts are with you.
Fierce Critter Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Saephyr? How have you been doing since all this? Have you gotten the medical attention you needed? I've been concerned.
Saephyr Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Hey doll! Thank you first of all for being concerned for me. I am seeing the folks at the Pain Clinic. I'm on a different treatment now so no more injections into my spine. My insurance is for po' folk so I can't get the spinal cord stimulator so...I ahev to rely on drug therapy. :erm I was also recommended to go to Physical therapy which I am thrilled about! One of my "spin off" illnesses is Fybromyalgia AND arthritis so I'm sure that by getting stronger I'll heal much better. Migraines are still a HUGE ass pain. Had one from fatigue this morning so I vomited and took a long hot shower and per my "son" Niko. It's great to have him in my life and he gets me out of bed daily to face another day.
saechalyn Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Goodness, sounds like a nightmare. Good luck doll.
Nienna Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I was also recommended to go to Physical therapy which I am thrilled about!One of my "spin off" illnesses is Fybromyalgia AND arthritis so I'm sure that by getting stronger I'll heal much better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I also have this. They have me on Topamax to treat it, Maybe ask about it. I seem to be much batter and it helps my Migranes too!
Fierce Critter Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I am so glad something is being done for you. I hope things just get better and better. =)
DarkChylde Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Holy shit I never knew you were having this problem, lol no wonder why ya told me at cc you could hook me up with vic's. Other than that hopefully your ok though.....Michigan HR's suck ass.
Saephyr Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 I also have this. They have me on Topamax to treat it, Maybe ask about it. I seem to be much batter and it helps my Migranes too! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ni...be very careful with Topirimax. It gives you kidney stones like mad and I recall you saying that you've had them before. I hope the dosage is low. Good luck with that. How is the Endo doing right now by the way??? =(
Hellion Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 :cheerful I hope you will be well soon,You told me awhile ago of what your going through and I am hoping the best for you. You mean alot to me and the rest of the DGN members.If I can find some information I will let you know as soon as possible,I wish I could help you. :cheerful
Saephyr Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Hey man just having people to vent to makes things better AND I don't need a prescription!
