Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
The doctor refilled my albuterol inhaler; I actually had thought I shouldn't use it, but he said it would help and it does.
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.
Right? It's been how many fucking years for ita?

Yeah. WTF are they there for, then?
Got a call from the vet: looks like he's brewing a UTI, which could have caused a cascade. Liver and kidney numbers are up. That could be in response to UTI/sugar crash, or just indicative he's old and diabetic (looked it up, earliest record I saw referencing db was 2003, but that was a boarding receipt, not diag. So at least 8 years.) And he's been around since '92 or so.
