Well, well well...seems it helps (A LOT!!) to see my dr with a list of symptoms! She came in, began asking me my symptoms and I began reading off my list, it fell, she picked it up and copied it into my chart, even the part about my toe! She checked everything else then asked to see my toe! Hahahaha.
I have an appointment for bloodwork in the morning: lyme, RA, CBC/anemia, and something else I forget. But she's looking for anything related to inflammation and said she will treat me for Lyme even if it comes back negative because she believes I have all the markers for it. She also upped my celebrex to twice a day. And then we will re do the bloodwork in six weeks.
So, for now, I am very relieved. What was funny is that several of you thought it was the nurses, and I didnt this it was. Regardless, I think what they didn't know is that my dr likes me...she knew I was annoyed about it and when she saw the list, her entire demeanor changed. I still think it's an f-ed up rule but she overruled it for me and I got all the answers I was looking for. When I told the nurse on the way out that she discussed everything with me, she shrugged and raised her eyebrows, I couldn't read her. Maybe it was all the nurses.
For now the oxy is working for pain,along with Tylenol and hopefully the added celebrex will help too. If after all the treatmentim still in pain, we can address it again and change things up.
