Hi Larry,
Thank you for writing- and your ideas. The drs office that does nerve blocks finally called yesterday. Constant pelvic pain is too difficult to bear - physically and psychologically, i always wonder why my psychDr and T don't know and try to interveine and help me have faster treatment for it. It's a nighmare hell and i'm in so much trouble.
Its troble for me to have to constantly think about holding the pain back. That's a full time and a half job. i could be occupied with that alone if i had to try to titrate medication for it all day. It's exactly like hell to think of it, i'm so upset talking about it even.
Longacting meds like oxycontin can't be changed on a daily basis for me though. i'm too clueless about medicine. It effects everything- if you have less one day you go though withdrawal, i go through a mini-withdrawal at the end of 8 hrs and it's enough to make me sick.
i have short-acting oxycodone to take inbetween.
The entire picture is a nightmare- i wish it were over. i don't know how i survived it so far and i can't imagine living like this another weeek. It's too hard for me. i have flashbacks, parts of me that think it's punishment, am afraid of taking the medicine, i'm literally trapped by it on every side. People judge me for taking medicine, i have to have a sirgeon do the nerve block that i never met before - the other one in the office put me though so much making me get off pain meds- all the threats and accusations and fear and flashbacks - said i had somatic pain because therapy wasn't working, to go to a rehab. so scared about pain. So afraid about withdrawal.i'm so triggered and upset by everything. i wish it were over.No one will help me on how to take the medicine. what to do and how to mix it all and i can't think about it without losing it totally.
