Chronic Ken
The first message I posted did not cover all the tests that I have been through. I thank all of you who responded. However, I have done everything many times over. I have been to so many doctors, and pain clinics over the years, that I can not count them all. The bottom line is that the only thing that will give me back my life, such as it was, is to be put back on daily pain meds. The last doctor I saw agreed, that it is the only thing that makes sense at this point and time, as there is no cure for what I have been dealing with. The biggest problem, is that the doctors are more concerned with the D.E.A., and afraid to lose thier licence, so they would rather let the patient suffer, or kill themselves. This way they don't have anything to fear.I have been dealing with this for the last 32 years. I am not willing to give up. But I am so tired of this merry-go-round to nowhere.All I ever get, is the run around. Meanwhile my life is just slipping away. I have lost so many years and I don't want to loose any more. Where do you go to get the help you need, so you can live a some what normal life? I think it is so unfair, that we should be punished, and labled drug addicts, just because there are people out there who choose to abuse drugs. I feel that because of the current polices, that they are driving us to the streets for meds, or to something far more permanent. Any comments, or info will be greatly appreciated. Just a quick over view of what I have Been through, M.D.'s-Neurologists-Chiropractors-Bio Feedback-Nutritionalists-even some psychologists for the doctors who ran out of ideas-lots of pain clinics.I have had all the M.R.I's CT scans-blood tests,and all the latest meds. Plus the dentist for any TMJ problems. And of course, the eye doctor. I have been tested for everything many times over. I thank you for your time. I wish you all good health. Ken
