I have not posted in several months and wanted to update and inquire..
I have been doing quite well, have been seeing a chiropractor that is helping with my scoliosis and back pain, crohns DX gives me little bumps in th e road but nothing too serious..and I have decreased my pain meds by nearly 50%. I also started giving myself b12 shots to help with the fibromyalgia.
I started seeing a new pain doctor also. That is the second part..
He started doing injections that included Sarpin,( natural ), sometimes steroids and vitamins. He has done these on my back and the entire pelvis for my pelvic and rectal pain. those that know me understand why I have this chronic pain but that is not important.
I would like to inquire about lidocaine toxicity.
I have gotten about 6 months of these series of injections I described above, every time I walk out of there with a buzz.
At first this was fun but when I found myself on his couch unable to drive I resorted to having a girlfriend come along to drive for me.
He weighs me every time before a series (up to 98 pounds)
He does the injections..
I asked for a few more in my neck. He states I have had the maximum amount of lidocaine, I pondered on this. How can a numbing solution be maxed out? so I asked for more. He gave them to me, obviously.
As I am standing in the waiting room I collapsed and couldnt get up. This is the last thing I remember.
They moved me into his office because I went into full blown seizures and started kicking and seizing up with drooling and bouts of repeating. I do not remember any if this only that my girlfriend was covered in bruises and advised me of my behavior. She states it took four people to hold me down. This went on for 2 hours.
I woke to an ambulance being there and getting taken to a hospital which I fought of course ($$$)
I was diagnosed with anxiety and never even saw a dr. It was humiliating.
I went with my girlfriend to her appointment where the doctor states it is because I am fentanyl. I am on nearly 75mcg from 200 mcg for 7 years now!!! I do not even take a break thru medicine anymore!
How can this be true! ??
I have looked up lidocaine overdose/toxicity guess what it states? Seizures, coma death..
I can not change pain doctors for several reasons and honestly I think he is going to "fire" me because I have become a liability. My ambulance bill was $1200 and my hospital bill has not even arrived.
Any help/advise is welcome and I apologize for the long message here..
