Sharise, I'm sorry you are dealing with issues with insurance. I to have UHC, I don't oxycontin, so I don't know the coverage on that, but I do hope you find a way. Hang in there. I am not as down...
Thank you for saying that people care. I have been in a dark place today for some reason. A very dark place. Feeling like a real screw up, even felt like ending it, but then I felt that would screw...
Well, I seen the new MD this morning and I am feeling very hopeful. He was very easy to talk to. He even made the comment even if I have a negative test result for rheumatoid does not mean I don't...
Unfortunately, no antihistamines before allergy testing. Can they give you flonase or singular. Those can still be taken without compromising the testing. I just had my prick test done last week....
Susie, No, I'm not having surgery. I had a shoulder surgery last year. But nothing at this time thank goodness. At least not yet. lol...
Karen, That's what I plan on doing. And my gynecologist recommended I see a psychiatrist/therapist as well. I haven't seen one in years. Last one I was at said I wasn't "bad" enough at the time. I...
No, it was the old PM doctor and she didn't ask about anything since last year. She didn't ever spend more than about 5 minutes with me. Since the first appt. I had told them about them about being...
Well I have been praying and it came to me last night that I was taking potassium vitamins before all this new medicine changes and then it dawned on me that this diclofenec is diclofenec potassium...
I just want to go back to the way I was before they started messing with my pain meds. This really sucks!...
Well the pm dr took me off ibuprofen and put me on 50 mg of diclofenec 3 times a day. I have started experiencing muscle weakness. Thought it was because of coming off tramadol, but I finally read...
Thank you Candy Apple. I've also noticed more tingling in my toes and feet lately. Has anybody had that before?...
Thanks guys and I think I will ask about a good rheumatologist. Last one was quick went off labs only. How do you find a good one? I was pretty good mood Thurs because I did make an appointment to an...
SeaShell There is another thing I've noticed the last week, especially last few days. I feel like I'm cold, but my body feels warm to the touch. Checked for fever but didn't have one. Does that make...
Lynnwood, Talking with a friend of mine who is a nurse. It's not a great combination, but sometimes one type is not enough either. It's like danged if you and danged if you don't. I also take an...
I don't want it but I don't want to hurt. I'm going to call a new dr tomorrow so this is temporary. I didn't come here to be criticized though. :(...
That's what pm put me on after taking me off tramadol and she knows I'm on meloxicam...
Karen, How do they treat you for it? Right I'm just taking 800 mg. ibuprofen 3 x times a day. I have a few tramadol left and trying not to take it. I'm feeling miserable most of the time. Cold most...
Seashell you mention cortisol that is an interesting thought. Doesn't that also have to do with depression? I have been taking anti-depressants for 16 years as I had a breakdown. I suffer from...
I did after they had labs pulled, but it was her Nurse Practicioner because she was out of the office and she didn't know why. But then I was told I was in violation of contract, so I figured I would...
Please I know I rambled, I just don't know if I should see an arthritis specialist, if they treat OA of the spinal area if that's what I have or if it's more. Right now I am on 800 mg of Ibuprofen 3...
New here and I'm confused at the moment. I was told back when I was 18 (1985) after a car wreck, I would suffer from degenerative disease and have trouble working in my 40's as I worked as a...
