[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 151578, member: 1233"] I am truly blessed. I have a primary care doctor who totally "gets" what I am dealing with. If I need her to, SHE will prescribe the painmeds, AT the doses the rheumy has me on. Her nurse will not give her messages, but when she DOES get them (I email her, the nurse does not check her emails) she is great. she is also great when I see her. She just has a hard time with getting good nurses. This nurse is much better than the last one. I also see a rheumatologist. He is amazing. Could NOT care less about the DEA pressuring docs not to give pain medications. He has a similar condition, and knows we are in real pain. So he treats us, with dignity and respect. He is gently, knowledgeable, and very very thorough. And he NEVER assumes you are with-o pain. He can tell from how your body reacts to his very gently prodding areas, that it hurts. Lyrica and humira help. I think they are problem worth a try. 1 at a time, of course. But you also need some real pain medications and some muscle relaxers. And if you have sleep problems get some medications for that. If you are not sleeping well, you CAN'T get better. Susie [/QUOTE]
