....the letter Dr Anal (see first blogs) wrote to my new doctor. He didn't write anything about accusing me of being a drug abuser or threatening to call the sheriff's office to arrest me for assault for simply standing in his way in front of the door with my hand raised while refusing to leave his office until he talked to my sister - so to the letter, he wrote this "At this point I do not think she requires as much narcotics as she has said" As I said before - I repeatedly told them I needed LESS and they ignored it. I also asked to be on Lyrica (a drug designated for fibromyalgia) REPEATEDLY and was IGNORED. To go on "Her pain behaviors do not suggest she is having near the amount of pain that she is reporting" why, because during the nerve conduction test I didn't scream and yell how much it hurt? I have no idea what he meant by that, remember he's the one writing the pain med scripts while I was saying and writing on my intake sheets I needed less? "I will begin to taper her narcotics to a more reasonable level." How are you gonna do that when you've dumped me as a patient? He went on to say he'd continue certain meds my good doctor who left me for a sleep clinic had discontinued months before - didn't read the chart very well before writing the letter did you Dr Anal? "Return to clinic in one month" How am I to do that when you've told me if I ever come back to your office you're having me arrested? He is such an anal!!!!!! I'd like him to be in the pain I'm in right now and stay up and function. Oh wait this tidbit from the beginning of the letter (remember all this was written AFTER I was no longer a patient of his! ) - "Medications are helping to improve her quality of life and functional ability" - and then he said I didn't need the pain med? Make up your mind Dr Anal! At least I don't have "radiculopathy". OK - I don't know what in the heck it is either. Here's Wikipediea's def:
Radiculopathy is not a specific condition, but rather a description of a problem in which one or more nerves are affected and do not work properly (a neuropathy). The emphasis is on the nerve root ("radix" = "root"). This can result in pain (radicular pain), weakness, numbness, or difficulty controlling specific muscles.
In a radiculopathy, the problem is at or near the root of the nerve, along the spine. However, the pain or other symptoms may manifest in an extremity through a process called referred pain. For example, a nerve root impingement in the neck can produce pain and weakness in the forearm.
Polyradiculopathy is the name of the term for describing more than one spinal nerve roots are affected.
Did you understand that? I didn't! OK - I do a little and it sounds like something I don't want!
Little twit! And I can say that honestly as he is a "little twit" cause he is short! Not as short as I am at least I don't think he is - but it's close!
Well, I saw my new doc today - he is nice. He was in shorts! What a hoot! But I like him and he seems to be understanding. He's decreased my pain med upon my request and I will go down when I run out of the higher strength.
I am still working on my letter to Dr Anal. Anyone who would want to read it and critic it I'd appreciate it! I've come way down from the first eight letter page of outrage. I am trying for "cold and clinical and I don't give a d--- that you're no longer my doctor and in fact my life has improved since you are no longer my doctor and now if I can just get you out of my head for calling me a "drug abuser" I am so much better off that you can't believe it" effect. In the first letters if I was a cussing woman the whole letter would have been filled with what I thought of him, his ancestry and his current status as a person and doctor - as in I wouldn't let you see my sick pig, you pig! But thankfully I don't cuss and I could just write exactly what happened without resorting to profanity. I just about have the letter completed. I worked on it today when I haven't in a while. I want to send the epistle, but I know he won't read it - so I'm trying to make it as short as possible.
Oh and he felt compeled to put in the letter that I thought I had broken my foot! I was in the bathroom and got up and my foot was pins and needles. When I put my weight on it there was a snapping noise and I fell to the ground. I got my regular doctor to x-ray it and it wasn't broken, but I had to put off my nerve conduction test. What a thing to put in a goodbye to your butt letter to another doctor! How bizarre!
Well, gotta go now. Hugs!
