I got mad at my Doctor and posted it on the board knowing she would read it. Last night I had three bad CH level 10. They were so bad I call Drummer at work an on his recorded I was crying. I have to have help now its bad. Dave calls back. He Calls my Doctor. They call me & have me come right in. I looked like hell. The Doctor got on the phone and got me a appointment with a different Neurologist. I had 20 min. to get there. This guy gave me 16 Imitrex injection, upped my Calan to four times a day instead of two. I also have a on going prescription for 02 for one year. I can call him in a week if this does not work. I am to go back in two weeks. He knows I have had all I can take.
I do not know what Drummer said to them but I do know
the Doctor had more respect for my pain.
I would like to Thank all of you for the good wishes I have recieved. I thank you all for putting up me these last few weeks. You have all been wonderful. I would not have been able to do it with out my cluster of frieds. Thank you Drummer for calling my Doctor. I don't know what you told them but thanks it worked.
It may not stop them but I am hopeing for level 4 instead of pain at level 10. I would be happy with that.
Asking for help was hard for me. I sure am gald I did.
Getting mad at the doctor felt good too. I no long feel bad about posting it.
