God bless doctors and Vicodin

1st, why do do doctors always automatically first think a problem is anxiety?! Ok, so I have psych history including PTSD--which my doc just learned last week is still a problem. I still can get sick.

I have been in so much pain--my head throbbing, pain in my back, hip down my leg, plus fever. Camped over last night by my doctor's office. Not that I could get comfortable to sleep. It even hurt so much when I showered yesterday! I had emailed my doctor yesterday then later wrote back that I would just come in during their early walk-in hour if I didn't go to the ER during the night. The doctor I saw thought a virus and faxed an Rx for a plenty of Vicodin to the pharmacy right away for my pain. Its so hard to move and uncomfortable--I was almost in tears! I am supposed to drink a lot of fluids and get rest, be comfortable. I looked at her and reminded her that I live in my car--and its not very comfortable right now.

Forgot where I was going with this. But BTW...The Vicodin is helping some! *BUT!* I just noticed a slight rash. I am allergic to other narcotics and though Vicodin is different it has potential for causing a causing a cross reaction. I have been okay with it before, but that could always change.

Nap time. Nighty Night!

I hope you get well soon!

Inky, I hope you have a sense of humor. When I read the title of your thread I read Doctors and Viagra. So here I am reading along and the doctor gives you Viagra? For headaches and pain. It took a good 5 seconds for me to see the word vicodin. About peed laughing at myself. As for the rash, yes, usually not serious. I would ask the pharmacist. Put in a call to doc as well. Take care of youself Inky.

Hey inky! Good to hear you have had some relief (if temporary, though I hope not.) Actually PTSD is an anxiety disorder...yeah I know, it doesn't seem to compare to being basically anxious. TC

Sounds like you got some preperation on your mind ww!

Inky please forgive me if my post was in poor taste, Had to laugh at myself. Tanya, I will get you later. Inky, I very often get itchy with percoset and vicodin but no rash. That is a normal response for me. Just wanted to tell you. Hope the meds are helping.

I hope you feel better really soon. I also hope you find housing really soon.

Hugs,
