greeting all
one thing i hate about myself is that nine times out of ten i'm always right and i was right about my doctor visit. i'm scared and confused again, not to mention that i'm extreamly ***** off. first she kept me waiting for over an hour. when she finally came in she mentioned that they didn't send or do the lupus panel. first i asked about her experience with lupus patients, she sounded like she knew what she was doing, spouted off some universities quite proud of herself. so then i asked her why did she need the lupus panel. she said to justifiy the diagnosis. which already sounded abit off. then she proceeds to tell her methodology of practicing medicine. first off she won't do opiates. she doesn't believe in them, and that i would have to see a pain specialist and she would decide if i need them, at that point i told her what i told dr k. that they would have to put me in the hospital for a rapid detox. she said oh, we can will put you into rehab...wrong!! one thing is i'm not staying in a rehab facility and not in my home. two, i can't (nor will) go in on out patient basis due to the fact i don't drive and my husband can't take time off, i don't rehab, i just need to control the withdrawl. now the biggy...she won't even prescribe my other meds, cymbalta, trazadone, soma or gabatril, that i will have to go to a psychiatrist..
. at that point i got up and asked for khoa, my neuropath, she said he can't write your prescriptions and he is not an MD. i told her i knew that but i wanted him here with us, she said well i don't know where he is and you don't need him. i told her that he has been with me from the beginnig with dr k. she said fine but thats not going to help us now. at that point i walked out. i found khoa and went off, and i told him to put me in touch with dr. kivanc this is wrong. she is questioning dr kivancs' diagnosis. so he did give me an email address to contact him.
i don't know what i'm going to do. at this point i think i'm just going to take the meds i have and when they're out i'm just gonna quit...i'll have a real ugly time with the withdrawl, i mean REAL UGLY. i can't go thru this again, i won't. after years and years looking for answers and i finally found them and a treatment plan that works some dolt who doesn't feel comfortable with someone elses diagnosis or writing prescription derails everything that i've accomplished.
its not worth it, i lost my career, my house (prior to this one) my husband and my life to this **** illness. i'm not doing it anymore...
