I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in early 2004 when I was 18. I am now 29 n have been dealing with chronic pain with little help from doctors. I feel like every single doc I've tried acts more concerned about addiction then they do about the fact that I'm in moderate to severe pain CONSTANTLY! I have 3 kids to care for and a house to run here n they just won't listen! I hate living like this and I've already tried so many anti-inflammatories n steroids n muscle relaxers, and the last time I remember having any relief was when my doc who diagnosed me gave me 7.5 mg Vicodin. That was a very long time ago n every time I try expressing to the doc that actually worked they say things like we don't want u getting addicted or becoming dependent on them. Well u no what? I don't want to suffer any longer! A decade with no pain relief is long enuf! I'm extremely frustrated and wondered if anyone has any tips/suggestions on what I should say to the doc Tuesday when I see him? I just saw him 2 weeks ago in which he gave me more steroids and more anti-infl meds neither of which provided an ounce of relief. I'm tired of being a ginuea pig. What do I say to make them listen short of bawling my eyes out?! Or maybe that's what I need to to sincerely portray the pain I feel? :x
