Thanks for the welcome and i hope that you get some meds sorted out, im just on normal pain killers at the mo but waiting for a u/s and blood tests again!!

Thanks again!

how well do the pain killers work for you?? they never work for me so i had to find alternative pain reliever sources... found one that works like a charm everytime to.....

~*ToryGirl*~ · 06-16-2002, 02:51 PM

They are not really doing anything LOL im waiting to go back to my doc after i have a pelvic u/s and bloodwork (appointment should be about 3 weeks time) and i hoping that they can give me something else, its not extreamly painful, its just uncomfortable and im aware of it always you know??

Take care

Klaimed Insane · 06-16-2002, 03:02 PM

I'm getting ready to start Met... found out somewhere i could get it cause my dr wouldn't give me a script for it... only like $40 for a 4 month suply... n i knowwhat it's like ... I had surgery to remove one cyst and i had a LARGE one rupture b4 i got to the ER... and havin' multiple small ones rupturing... basically.. it sux and we should be able to get like disability for it sometimes.... cause my pains get to the point i've lost jobs because it was to painful to move let alone work....

Nylah · 06-16-2002, 07:43 PM

I so agree with you on getting disability for this! I have severe pains in my stomach from everything thats wrong with me! I call off work sooooo many times, i try and get dr. notes as much as i can. I think my job is getting tired of it and probably will fire me sometime or another! The only reason i'm still there is because i've already been there so long (2 years). But i know for a fact that if it was a new job i would have been fired by now!

Klaimed Insane · 06-17-2002, 10:28 PM

you are lucky i think i've lost maybe 4 jobs now cause of this crap but after 6 years i think i can handel about ne kind of pains

I hope they don't fire you becasue trust me i know what it's like to be a "newbie" at a job and have to call of because of pains and stuff htey do NOT like it no matter what.. Heck i was even in the er one time and that job still fired me even that i showed i was in the er....

and like i said.. i can taake all the pain killers i want cause my br give me scripts by tha refills but they barely work anymore... I'm just luky i found someting that DOES work.....to help ease the pains.....
