Dear Tam

Wow it has been a rough few days. (But don't worry I am still happy!). I tried to go to bed on Friday night but the pain became so intense I broke down and called 911. Yup ~ Me, who swore I would never call 911 again ~ did. But this time it was worth it.

Tam, this is where you come in. Becasue of your comment I got a good visit. First of all, I would like to apologize for getting upset with your comment. It wasn't you. It was me at the end of my rope and hearing that the doctors really do blacklist me just made me mad. I am Irish and sometimes I just need to be mad for a minute. But after re-reading your comment, I saw that you had some good points. I didn't see what the ER was seeing. And you helped me to change what I do and say to get better care.

This time I told them I was an addict and could not have opiods. Which is true. And I never wanted them and I was never seeking them but as Tam pointed out ~ THEY didn't know that. So this time I made a point of saying I am not seeking drugs as I can't have them. I am an opiod addict and have been clean for about 15 years. Whic I have. 

I also started taking my blood pressure meds as now I have a life to look forward to I want to be happy and live. So them seeing I was taking the BP meds probobly took away what you were talking about.

So in the end Tam,... you helped. Thank you. And I can't apologize enough for the rude answer I gave you back. I see now you care and only wanted to help. I apologize.

The ER visit. I got a doctor I liked. He listened and he helped. He told me exactly what he thinks is wrong and that I need a physiatrist to fix it but in themeantime a chiropractor could probobly help alleviate some of the pain until I can fix it.

WOW

He listened,... he diagnosed - which may I remind you I have never had a diagnosis since the accident. So I LIKED this doctor. He also gave me non-opiod pain relief for the fibromyalgia and he also gave me something for my mood. This doctor did everything right and it is all becasue of Tam. I am glad I took the time to apologize to Tam and rej-read his comment and take it as what it was. HELP. not harrassment.

I'm sorry I'm Irish and sometimes the anger takes over first. I am working on that,...

I am still in severe pain but it is slowly subsiding. I can't type anymore because of the pain so I will stopping here until I am better.
