I keep thinking about everything I have been through and how long it took me to get a doctor to finally listen to me.
When I first went to the doctor I see now I told her that I felt like I was falling apart. My doctor told me that she would make me better and lets start with one thing at a time. I told a few problems I was having and she sent me off for X-Rays and to an Orthopedic doctor.I felt like I she was going to help me get better and then she let me down.
I need to talk to her about some more problems I'm having but I'm afraid to because of the way I have been treated in the past and she is finally acting like she is concerned again.
I'm angry about the way the pain clinic is failing me and if they put me on Methadone I know that they don't like using regular opiods and I will have to tell my doctor that I'm not happy with the treatment I'm receiving there and to refer me to a different place. I would have to drive even further than what I drive now just to see a pain doctor and then I don't know that they will be any better.
I want to get a new doctor but I don't know if I have it in me to start over.

Sometimes, I took a break from doctors, then I was ready to go back after a couple of months. It is disheartening to find out they aren't the all-knowing miracle workers we assumed they were until we get something a little more difficult than the common cold or even something "mainstream" like cancer (not that cancer is less awful, but at least there is more known, and *can* be cured). Only God can truly give us hope.
You're in my prayers. In my long experience with docs, I've found I should let them know how you are feeling, it's the only way they can help the way you need them to. If they don't try to meet you in the middle, then it's time to move on. (hugs)
