Off to the Pain Doctor

Well I am off to another pain doctor. I have to go and fill out the initial paperwork. You know where they do the F.B.I. background check on you! I was orginally going to a pain doctor before and they had me on morphine and methadone. Which I guess was good for the pain, but, bad for everything else. I slept for 20 hours a day or more and the medication had some very unwanted side effects like constipation!!! (gross....I know)
But, you have to take the good with the bad and deal with it. I decided not to go back to that doctor after the office staff was very rude and treated all of the patients like children. I mean I am going to be a senior citizen in like 2030 and do not deserve to be treated like I am in pre-school. The only thing they didn't do was pin instructions on my shirt for my mother. And I am surprised they didn't do that!
Anyway, I hope to have much better luck with the new doctor. My family doctor has been prescribing pain medication for me in the meantime and you know how they are about pain meds... they freak out that the DEA is going to be knocking down their door at anytime. And you can't blame them. The DEA needs to get their act together and realize that people with chronic physical problems have to have there pain issues addressed. There is to much suffering going on needlessly and hopefully one day they will wake up and get with the program.

I also received good news from the Social Security office concerning the review of my case before the judge. Apparently they have organized all of my paperwork and sent a letter to my attorney asking if there is any more evidence from my doctor's that need to be sent in. I called my attorney and she said this is common and that I should be receiving my court date sometime in the near future. So I am praying that everything goes well and I win my case against the bloated and uncaring goverment!
I just want to say that my family doctor is the best......She is very caring and understanding. It is the federal goverment that has a problem and not the doctor's! We have a very good patient and doctor relationship based on what I feel is mutual trust. Which is the most important part of any relationship that has so much at stake!
