Stacie, I agree with Lori. It is so difficult to find a doctor who understands and can balance compassion with practice. I recently made the decision to see a new doc after my current one told me to go on Lupron or get pregnant. That just wasn't acceptable to me. I felt like I wasn't given any real options or explained the significance of the drugs she wanted me to take. I found this forum after that visit and have learned so much about other treatment options available that she never made me aware of. I also discovered through these postings that so many women are told to get pregnant, or are prescribed anti depressants, or are ignored all together. However, my doctor never refused me pain medication. It should be your doctor's responsibility to control the amount you are prescribed and how often to be sure that they are not creating an addictive situation for you. I think to deny the meds all together is unprofessional and insensitive. I am hoping my new doc is going to be able to work with me to help treat this disease, and if not I'm going to keep on looking. I know this probably doesn't help much, but as Lori said- you aren't alone! Alyson
