Two posts in one week...so far

Tomorrow I see the pain management doctor for an urgent appointment, the urgent appointment only took a week to get. It doesnt help that the appointment is at 730am in the morning, especially when you are either not getting to sleep or waking up in pain or waking up to have to go to the restroom multiple times per night. I have my alarm clock set for 615 I took my shower tonight to be able to get a few extra zzzz.

We are going to try and tackle multiple issues at this appointment. Going up on my Lyrica which should help with the nerve pain and possibly some of the extra muscle pain like it does with fibromyaglia patients. Getting a prescription for prescription strength motrin. Getting something for my migraines, fiorcet or midrin would prefer the fiorcet but will take anything that can help right now. A prescription sleep aid there is only so far and so long melatonin will take you and I am at that point. And adjusting the quanity of my actual pain meds, with so many migraines this month cycle for my pain meds they have been drained.

It doesnt help that the nerve ablation is starting to wear off, I think that that is part of my problem too, they were only meant to last six to 12 months and I had them done in january and february so it is about time.

I am frustrated and tired, I was supposed to see my manipulative medicine doctor today, but waiting for 30 minutes past my appointment time when the doctors office has a policy that if you are 10 minutes past your appointment time you have to reschedule the appointment. that fact made me very angry that I have to respect their time so diligently but they cant seem to respect mine, and this is not the first time that she has been more than 20 minutes late, she has been 20 minutes late or more every appointment that I have had. My first appointment was almost 6 hours long for the total time that I spent in the office, I actually took nearly an hour long nap in the waiting room because no one was ready and bothered to call me back...thank goodness for the good thing of an iPod. I swear the only way that I survive doctors appointments and the boys in the car is the iPod
