I am not getting any type of treatment, because as I said in an earlier post, I am not homicidal nor suicidal. This seems to be the criteria for the local MH clinic, and it turns out that I am just too damn functional for them! I say BS.... just because I know there is something wrong doesn't mean I don't need help. Maybe I shouldn't let people know that I majored in Abnormal Psychology in college?? LOL
I dont have a Pdoc or T, but I do have a primary doc who may be able to help. My surgeon in April didnt give me any meds except for antibiotics for infection.
The only meds I'm taking at this time are Methadone and Percocet for chronic severe back pain.
I have been keeping a daily diary of how I feel, both physically and emotopnally, and overall, yesterday (Saturday) was a good day. My head felt relatively clear for the first time in days, and my pain levels were down, with minimal pain meds. Now that I am sitting in front of the computer, though, they tend to rise again.... sigh. I'm also keeping track of when and how much pain meds I take during the day/night... I have a hard time remembering these things lately.
