Hi Ed,
Resperdal made my vision so disorganized that i thought i was having a stroke. It started on one side and spread over to where i couldn't see anything but a bunch of distorted lines and shapes of things around me. It lasted for over an hour and then a bad headache started that lasted all night.
Yes- i think i was dizzy with it but was too sick to sit or stand up anyways. Seroquel made me dizzy also.The pain management dr today was so negative- i should have had someone with me because he never would talk to me as he did if someone else was there.
he stated again that he wasn't going to treat me and complained that he hadn't received the faxes of my gyn visits that i called last week to be faxed. i called each of the gyn offices from his office today and asked them to 'please fax now because i was at my drs office" and waited until they did. The receptionist brought the papers back to the pain dr- now he can't accuse me of that anymore.Earlier when i was in the treatment room he verbally abused me accusing me of lying about seeing the drs. When he said he wasn't going to treat me because i didn't have a dx, i was crying so hard- i told him i couldn't live in the pain and i did everything i could to get a dx. i told him how horrible the nerve block was without the sedation that he agreed to beforehand and he still defended himself. He also minimized the numbness in my right leg saying, "At least you can walk on it- the muscles are ok."
i was a mess there- i could hardly breathe because i was so upset.
It's so wrong for him to abandon me like this- without a referral that can take up my pain control. I''m so afraid now- with only two weeks medicine.i can't handle the terrible emotional distress of worrying if i will be in severe pain again in two weeks. He told my psychiatrist that he was going to not treat me and would wean me off opioids.
i can't get off now because i'm in too much pain.No one will stand up for me. What am i going to do?
i cried in T's office and hardly remember anything else. T said he was sorry. Parts feel like nothing matters- if we can't find anyone to help pain we can't live like this. It's over. i'm so afraid of what's going to happen to me. tears.
