ok, in order to remain within civility guidelines i must somehow convey enough specificity so as to not target random individuals... but i don't quite know how to do that other than to use the word "some"
*SOME DOCTORS SUCK DONKEY BUTT!!*
i hope that is civil enough.
i am in pain and quite sick of it. Today i can think of little else and dr donkey butt says "you look like hell" and then procedes to tell me nothing of value. Various nods and uh-huhs that went nowhere. i'm struggling with dreadful fatigue.. he says well, chronic intense pain will do that sometimes.. does he do anything for said pain? Nope.
i told him a med i take for a skin problem isn't working and maybe we could try one my old GP had tried... he checks my chart and WOW! it says i have fibromyalgia... what a f*cking revelation. i knew that.. if they ordered my f*cking medical records from the last doc..um..why didn't they READ them?!?
so i have a vertebrae slipped out over the top of another and he looks at me...and i am not joking.. and says but we don't know the cause of your pain.
this is NOT the first GP like this. DO they take dork classes in their final year?
i am done with them. Screw them all. i don't see the point of continuing to do this to myself. i had pain before i started pursuing this and i have pain now, the only thing that has changed is i am beyond frustrated. They are referring me to a PM doc and i will go to that guy and then that's it. i have had it.
idiots.

>i have a vertebrae slipped out over the top of another<
Gazo, could Pilates be helpful with your back?
(Feldenkrais is interesting stuff too.)
I have a ruptured disc and stuff and it is the only thing that offers much hope for me.
IME, it is difficult to find good physio.
I was lucky to find someone who looks at the articulation of the whole spine in 3D and who thought about ways of compensation in one part of it for what cannot be fixed in the other.Back pain is awful. Nothing works very well for nerve root pain.

i have not tried pilates.. but i will ask my chiro, she's the only medical professional who listens to me or cares. She can't go near the slipped verts but she gives me relief elsewhere. i have a herniated disc too, and a bulging one and and and... blech. i have an underlying problem which has lead to all of this mess... so i don't know if it would allow me to do pilates, but i will ask. i used to do yoga but what limited yoga i could do now would have to be with someone who was really up on their stuff so that i didn't overstretch anything... i am over stretchy so it has to be a controlled stretch.

Me too. Everything being connected and all.
Pilates is that core stability stuff.

Pain sucks, it must be totally aweful for you Gazo. Plus you are so right about some doctors! Good job on being civil. ;-) Take care, Gazo, We will talk soon in chat! I gotta get to bed!

thanks guys. i talked to my chiro, the only person i trust anymore.. the only one who has listened to me from the start and helped me get my underlying dx. She said the job would be very bad for me. She was hesitant because she knows i need this job. But she said it would be increasing pain every time i worked. She said i need to be in an ergonomically designed chair.
i looked at my other income for this month... after i take out the self employment tax, pay my rent and deduct the cost of the AC unit i had to buy because of the dogs.... i have about $200 for the month to pay for food, transportation, drug card and T. And i need new shoes..the ones i have to have average about $150-200.
wtf?
i suck i suck i suck.
all i was able to get was this crappy job. i need money but i am in pain. what am i going to do? why am i so freakin pathetic? All of my friends are settled into career jobs and making good money. i had to leave my profession, can't do it anymore. Now what do i do? Many of you know what i am trying to build a career doing.. but i need money.
i suck so bad. DOnkey butt isn't good enough.
increased pain + small income, or less pain + no income
so i guess it doesn't matter much that T will be back next monday... i don't have any money to pay him for even one session, much less weekly for a month.
in my misery i bought more gerber daisies. See Llurpsie...one thing of beauty.
