New NL today

[lazycrazyjen]

I had been seeing a doctor for about a year, and he pretty much gave me the typical run around. I'd tried every med he gave me, and jumped through every hoop he offered me.
In October I went to see a NS at Mass General and I liked him very much. I still have a lot of soul searching to do, but I believe I will be having the surgery in May (my choice at the scheduling).
After seeing the NS I tried to get back in with my NL. He was very aloof at my last appointment, and then I couldn't get a refill on my fioricet. The NL wasn't in the office for a few days, and no one else would touch me - and it would be 2-3 weeks to be seen by another doctor. And, on top of that my PCP wouldn't prescribe to me because I am now a neuro patient - which I sort of understand, but it's been almost 4 weeks since I've had any relief from my headaches. The old NL never returned my calls, and so on and so forth.
So, today I have an appointment with a new NL and I am hopeful that he will be willing to prescribe to me. I am not looking for "narcotics" I am simply looking for relief - in any dang form. At this point I'm ready to head to Brazil or Tanzania and see a shaman if it means I won't hurt for a few hours.
So, wish me luck. This stinks.

I hope you get answers for your pain.  It's awful to have Chairi and having Dr.'s that don't understand your discomfort.

I know exactly what u mean about the shaman. I have had a constant headache for 62 days. I have thought about trying everything. If u find one closer than Brazil let me know!
