kerria, i read what you said and i can't help thinking that i somehow offended you. I just wasn't really sure what to say. YES you have been maltreated and i am horrified by the way the doctors are not listening to you or doing everything in their power to help you. You deserve better. I hope that i can be considered a friend here at PC but i was at a loss for words. it is NOT okay and i'm not going to insult your intelligence by saying it is, or by saying it will be because i can't promise that. you have been VERY wronged by the doctors who are supposed to help you and by all the people who will not listen to you when you say you are in pain. i just don't have any creative options to offer you except to send you hugs and to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. other than that, i don't know what to do. if you think of something that i can do, please let me know and i will be happy to help. but for now, just know that i AM listening and i AM reading every word you post. you are NOT being ignored here. i am sorry i can't do more.
