mdehnersAs I've said before, I HATE breaking in new MD's. When you're a Chronic Pain patient with Medicare only insurance, MD's tend to treat you as if you're whiny little snowflakes That are trying to get meds to either to get High or to sell. This one didn't start taking me seriously until he got my MRI faxed to him(Yay Nurses;>!). Let's put it this way. I said I thought my AM dose of Morphine could be "dialed down" and instead he recommended keeping it at the 90mg a day just 3 times a day instead of 60 in the morning. So he found out that I was, if anything, under-reporting my Pain.
At least we have a plan now. Next week they inject my spine to get the swelling of the nerves decreased and see if that helps. If it doesn't, it's Surgery.
And to add to my Stress, Chuck's had the worst 2 days since his Stroke.
Cheers,
Pat
