That sucks so much, I can't even, ita. I go all the way to NY to see a neurologist I like, but I only need to see him once or twice a year, so it's a totally different situation.

I just want you to find a situation that works for you, so much.

sarameg, I'm so sorry.

I'm spending the end of Easter Sunday with my favorite baby and her family. I'm going to kidnap this baby someday. They won't suspect a thing, except that I keep talking about it.

I am sick as heck, freaking cold moved into my chest and my asthma decided it wants to play too. Yuck.

But I have Spring Sphere Day dinner, courtesy of KCD and his fiance. They invited me over but the idea of taking a shower and getting dressed took all the energy I had (just the idea, not doing any of it). Instead, they sent a plate home with CJ. And it is nom.

I'm sorry, Suzi, I seem to have infected you through teh intertubes. *hack* The doctor refilled my albuterol inhaler; I actually had thought I shouldn't use it, but he said it would help and it does.

ita, it's beyond my understanding how the pain management clinic won't try to help you with the pain you are clearly in.

MK's had mild blood sugar crashes before but never ever as bad as this. Which is why I thought it might be something else, since he wasn't responding to sugar.

I hope he feels better. It's hard knowing you are really into bonus time. I use MK as an example for Kittenish - this is how we take our meds and live a long time and are pretty damn happy, see?

Feel better, Suzi.

I called for that refill yesterday. I only fill it every few years so I need a new script every time. Thankfully the clinic just did it. Except today is a holiday so I can't pick it up until tomorrow. Should have planned that bit better.

I have been using my nebulizer AND inhaler. And I have Prednisone that I'm going to ask my doc if I should take.

The problem is that severe-pain-relief-seeking behavior look to the casual observer much the same thing as drug-seeking behavior, and the legal/moral presumption is that it's the latter, especially when it's something (migraine, back pain, fibromyalgia) that doesn't look like the patient is sick. So patients like ita get screwed over.

I know that there have been several times that I wouldn't have gotten the pain medication I needed if I hadn't known how to casually insert "My father is a lawyer" into the discussion with the doctor.

Casual observer /= pain clinic. In a sane world.

Yeah, I feel like that should be the point of a pain clinic.
