News from doctor
Ok, I am feeling much better after seeing the doctor this afternoon.
1) I STILL have that nasty infection (this is going on almost 2 months and this is the 6th prescribsion of antibotics I'm trying). So, we are trying another one. I was a little relieved because I was afraid he was going to suggest putting me in the hospital with IV antibotics. Crossing my fingers that this one will work.
2) The pain we made a compromise. I didn't want to take meds 24/7 and he was concerned about that too but was also concerned about the deal keeping the pain low. So. . . . he prescribed lortab 10 I am to take 1 per night whether I need it or not. We'll see how it's doing in 10 days. He says I'm his only chronic pain patient he treats because he normally sends them to a pain clinic but knows what troubles we have had at the pain clinics so we're winging it together!
3) We're also going to try the muscle relaxer thing. He prescribed me to take up to 2 a day if needed but I'm planning on just taking them at night because I'm not sure how they will make me feel.
He's really a great friend and wonderful doctor. He understands that I know and understand his concerns and feels for my needs also. He lets me help in every decision and is very open to all new treatments I suggest.
