Bless your heart Rose -- I'm GLAD you went off on your shrink! At least it shows you are beginning to stand up for yourself! That's good! Don't lose that.

Obamacare is NOT good for seniors. I haven't read the whole thing, but it is NOT for our benefit. And now Obama is going to CUT Social Security, which will also cut our Disability Checks!! It hasn't gotten thru the House yet, but he's trying! That dirty S.O.B. -- how does he expect us to live, while he gives the rich more tax breaks? Regardless of what he SAYS, the rich ALWAYS have tax breaks.

As far as pain management doctors, I can't go to any anymore. Once you've had everything done that they do, they wont keep you anymore. They DO NOT manage prescriptions indefinitely. They will "throw you out." They may write your scripts for awhile, but sooner or later, you'll be told to go elsewhere for your prescriptions because No pain doc will manage your scripts for an extended length of time. At least that's what I was told. So now my GP takes care of me. And he has done a BETTER job than the pain doc did! He knows ALL my prescriptions, so those don't get mixed up. Tests are run regularly, that are needed to be done. So I feel safer with my GP.

Maybe it would be a good idea for YOU to ask your GP to take over your care Rose. Would he be willing to? At least all your drugs would be in one place, and things wouldn't be scattered all over the place. You wouldn't be "double-drugged" like you seem to be. Seems like doctors are almost over-dosing you on some things. Not good!!! Just a suggestion.

Wishing you all the best my friend. Please keep me posted, will you? I worry about you!! Hugs, Lee
