    Long term disability company sending me to their dr

    Does anyone have any advice for me?

    I know the dr I am going to probablly wont know about IC, PFD and VV. Im so beyond depressed right now. I just dont know how they think that i can work. Im on my period and the burning is just inhumane


    thanks


    Lyme disease diagnosed 11/05
    vulvar vestibulitis diagnosed 2/06 -worst case she has ever seen..very bad.
    IC diagnosed with hydro/cysto- may 17, 2006

    Over growth of lactobicilli found 8/07 treating with doxy.

    Was able to get my first internal exam evaluation for PFD....wohoo 1/18/07:woohoo:

    8/22/07- was able to get my first speculum exam, with pap

    Strep D found in bladder with United medical labs May 2006

    Capsasin cream-once a day for 20min,
    BUt wont lie it does burn

    About to start valium supositories for PFD

    Trigger point injections- oct 07

    Current meds:
    Neurontin- 100mg at night supposed to work up to 300mg if i can tolerate it
    Zanaflex 2mg
    IC and low oxalate diet, no sugar diet
    Xanax for appointments to help relax me since they cause so much pain

    Started PT 3/07, PT has really helped me in ways I never knew that it would

    Meds ive tried
    Lyrica
    Klonopin
    Singulair
    Claritin
    Pyridium
    Soma- can barely tolerate half a pill
    Atropine cream- didnt seem to work, although i found out I was applying the creams wrong
    Estradiol cream
    Urelle- caused worse bladder spasm and retention

    Various antibiotics for lyme which caused yeast and made the IC and VV worse

    waiting for the next chronic illness to pop up

    I just got back from seeing a Dr. the long term company sent me to. The Dr. was very smart and said he was recommending me to get disability based on all the information that he had and from the state of depression he saw in me. This is the last step before the "disability" review board decides ya or nah.

      Other conditions: PFD, Migraine, VV, Total Abd Hysterectormy on 12/27,06 for Cervical Cancer, Fibromyalgia.

      I use Prayer, Yoga, Relaxation Breathing and TENS to help relieve stress, anxiety and pain- LOTS of make up to hide my true identity!

          Please dont worry. Most people will weigh the opinions of the the Drs you have been seeing for YEARS much more heavily than the opinion of someone you have seen one time. I know you are worried, but I will be praying for you. You will get thru this. I just know it.

          Many hugs,
          Amy
