[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 627476, member: 1514"] Thanks for all the replies...really helps to know someone is listening. I do know that almost everything that is wrong with me is all my fault. I made really bad decisions earlier in my life and now I am paying dearly for it. I had a horrible pain doctor appointment today too. I dont know what it is with me and doctor's this month but I must have sent out some bad karma somehow. I had to go to another appointment in a neighboring town before I went to the pain doctor so that meant I was leaving my house fairly early today and I dont like to take my medications with me if I am going to be away for very long...especially if I am going anywhere other than to one doctor. Heaven only help me if I lost my purse! Well for the first time in six months the doctor asked for my pill bottles. I explained that I didnt have them with me and why, and I offered to return home and bring them back, but you would have thought I was the devil incarnate. I got the lecture from hell about how for all they knew I was selling my pills and yada yada. I told them I realized they had to worry about such things but that I had never asked for increases, never asked for refills in advance, never said I had lost medications...etc. Except for that time when I am convinced they were trying to force me to quit the practice and fudging the tests I have never had a bad test. I dont think my tests were bad then, I think they lied because they never could show me a test that was bad. Even after this doctor was tearing me a new one about not bringing my pill bottles in with me, he was increasing my medications! I never asked for it...lol. His answer was "well its obvious you are in more pain now than you have been." Well... I guess I have no answer to that one. I think my problem is I dont complain constantly and loudly. I dont go in and claim my pain is a 10 all the time because to me, a 10 means I shouldnt be talking. I sorta think if I am a 10 all the time, where in the world do I go if heaven forbid I got in an accident and broke a leg or something? I know I am not in as bad a pain as could possibly be.
