Oh God yes I know how you feel!!!! I am afraid my old doctors resented me for researching things and asking about them and forcing tests...so this time around I am acting like I don't know medical terminology...the whole wide-eyed, poor innocent me routine when I want to scream I KNOW what I need and want but it don't matter. Dr's hate being told what is wanted and needed from a patient...so much for advocating for yourself...I don't know everything, not by a long shot, but I have lots of time and I research a lot. o n that's why e.r. department is avoided at all costs...last timei went for leg pain and cried for a week before breaking down and admitting I couldnt handle it anymore, I mean not even a sheet could touch my leg without me crying out. I was pumped full of demerol and morphine, one or the other every 1/2 hr for hours with no fluids or food since my sugars were 'high'...it didnt matter that I hadnt eaten in days cause of the pain and I ended up more ill than when i went in...oh well, can't win for losing....~melanie

WW nice and carefully, i am sorry you are hurting...i wish i could take it away from ya...
