Updating and VentingFrom: tiredofthepain (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Nov 28 21:25:30 2007
Grr I'm sick of being sick. I don't even like taking Tylenol for a headache, and now I'm taking Tylenol-3 at least once or twice a day. Most days I don't feel like going to work, whether it's the fact that I'm still tired after getting 8 hours of sleep, I'm in pain, or I'm afraid that I'll start hurting when I get to work, and I certainly can't take narcotics and work at the same time. My current OB/GYN is a great doctor, don't get me wrong, I love him to death, but when I need to get forms filled out for work or I need to get a prescription for my Tyl-3 refilled, I just feel like he doesn't understand that I'm in pain. He swears up and down that the endo is not back...he went as far as to say that my symptoms were similar to a urinary tract infection and tested my urine for it. I told him it wasn't a UTI, I've had one of those before, and the difference is that this gut-wrenching pain isn't worse when I use the bathroom, it's just bad all the time! My DH is so sweet, but he doesn't seem to understand why I can't go to work. He even made the comment to me the other day that some days I seem fine, why can't I go to work? I know my husband enough to know that when I'm in pain, he feels helpless, because he can't do anything to fix it, so mostly I keep it to myself. He sees me popping pills, but unless I'm really bad off, I keep quiet. I decided to go ahead and ask my doctor about a specialist, and he recommended Dr. Steege in Raleigh, NC, and we got my records sent out there, and they called me the other day to get info and schedule an appointment. The lady started out by saying that their new patient appointments are scheduling really far out right now, but there is a waiting list they can put me on...great, I think to myself, I don't mind waiting a month or two...my appointment is on Feb. 13, 2008!!!! Geez, don't these people realize that they're running an endo/pelvic pain clinic?! I don't want to live like this!!!! Ok, sorry about the rant, it's just nice to have an outlet where people know what I'm going through!!!
