I just wanted to tell you that it is so good to see someone having the same problems I am. I am friends with Lenore and would love to meet you. My daughter has a blog Mimi's Folly.<br />We found out with her that Fibro is not only hereditary but some of us start having problems young. She is so blessed that her Dr. knows about Fibro and she can get help early were I fought Doctors for years that I really did have a problem and wasn't a nut. I am hurting too much to go on. cissiCissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086986643342084631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415835401900288037.post-80663521790093399462012-10-11T14:25:26.947-04:002012-10-11T14:25:26.947-04:00Tammy, where I already take Tramadol they said to ...Tammy, where I already take Tramadol they said to just keep using it. The nurse comes into the room by themselves when you first get there, then the doctor comes in to speak with and exam you by theirselves. Then the nurse comes in by themselves again to give you your discharge papers and instructions. *sigh* Last night just reminded me why I created this seminar and why I blog. I may not be able to change everyone's perception of those of us who suffer with chronic pain and invisible illness, but if I can make even one of those people rethink their beliefs then it's worth it. Change happens one person at a time.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282097922247477562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415835401900288037.post-43781544035339845962012-10-11T13:51:39.922-04:002012-10-11T13:51:39.922-04:00Where on God's green earth was the Dr during a...Where on God's green earth was the Dr during all this? Good gravy girl! They did not even give you something for the pain?? It sounds like you definitely need to make a phone call to that Hospital today and let them know that obviously that RN is running the ER. I think that I would have had a knee jerk after about the third time that he hurt me and put him in his place. I absolutely dislike the word "HATE" but I hate when jerks act like this. This is exactly why we need to get you going on this seminar!!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556643577270504074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415835401900288037.post-9058012524999468342012-10-11T02:02:22.579-04:002012-10-11T02:02:22.579-04:00Nope.

He asked if I'd tried taking any of my tramadol for the pain. I told him yes, that I had tried taking 2 of them along with 2 tylenol last night and it didn't do anything at all for my pain. Then he asked what I expected out of my visit. I told him I expected to relieve my pain and to hopefully find out what is causing it. When he came in to discharge me, he told me to take my tramadol or ibuprofen for the pain. I still have Vicodin from my tooth extractions last week so I took 2 of them and that helped some but didn't totally take the pain away. I'm getting ready to take 2 more and then try to go to bed.

I have fibromyalgia myself since 1985 and chronic regional pain syndrome which hurts even worse than fibromyalgia. I understand your frustration. I saw nurses treat patients with similar actions and I always heard "drug-seeker" when a person with fibro came in. I was treated so badly the last time I was in the hospital. My Rheumatologist just retired. He told me then that I could have sued the hospital from that last admission. Again, I am sorry for your bad response from the hospital staff. Did they treat your pain while there? This is another failure if they didn't. Lil' Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757019704074985713noreply@blogger.com
