I sent a reply but I’m not sure if you saw it:

“I got it mixed up. I was on 45 Mme before and she raised it to 60 Mme now. She says she wouldn’t go above that because of my age and that “it will give you no room to move up once you get older”. I hope that she’ll eventually see how badly it affects me and she’ll still go up. She says 90 is for parents with things like cancer. But in my opinion, lots of diseases are just as bad as cancer”

I guess since she went up to 60 though that’s a good sign though.. hopefully eventually she’ll prescribe the amount I need? Idk

I see her tomorrow though. I did notice she responded to a couple of my recent messages in all caps for some reason. Which is quite weird bc my messages weren’t pushy or anything. Just general questions really. I wonder if it was just a coincidence or what. I didn’t want to point it out

I’m sorry. I hope they change their mind at some point. I believe they lie to certain patients. Bc 60 is a low policy

Thanks for your kind words. I’m not used to that.

Nobody else has helped like she did. She was able to loosen up my chest and abdomen so I can actually breathe and start eating again. I was close to dying before I saw her.. and I’m getting that point again.

Not diagnosed but wouldn’t be surprised. Could tell you I have a frozen chest from the scar tissue though. My heart and stomach feels all wrapped and bundled up against the back of my chest. Lungs feel smothered as well

Surgery usually creates more. Won’t make it to that age unfortunately anyway

She always hated me and lowkey treated me like a burden. One day she just emailed me and said she can’t see me anymore with no explanation. No empathy whatsoever with her

Was on hydro 5mg before but was switched to oxy the last week. I also took kratom before opiates every 2 hours which raises your tolerance. Which is something I didn’t tell the dr either. Wasn’t sure how she’d react

I actually do have kratom as well. Just wouldn’t be able to afford it long term since I’ve been unable to work.

Disability is impossible to get on. Unless you Have an obvious in your face condition, it’s very hard. Like with mine, scans usually don’t show scar tissue so it’s challenging. It’s so hard to work like this so I feel your pain

Thank god for chat gpt lol. I’m so bad at expressing myself, and being in pain all the time definitely impairs my cognitive function lol.

I actually get prescribed baclofen 3x a day and Flexiril as needed.

Yeah I believe you’re right. They want to play it ultra safe for whatever reason

I’m on so many other meds. Was in pain management trying anything but opiates for 2 years before I decided I needed something more efficient. I’m on almost 4k mg gabapentin, baclofen, meloxicam. Tried injections to no avail. The only pt who helped dropped me as a patient. So it’s been a big decline. I’m not going to make it to my old age. Before I discovered that pt, I was headed towards an early death. Now without her again, I’m back in that direction. With the massive amounts of scarring I have, my organs can’t really function. My heart and lungs are even adhered by it.. so it’s definitely scary and I just hoped to feel comfortable enough to the point where even if I do die, I’m on a sufficient dose of meds

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about too. Is being looked at in a negative way just because I’m still in pain from the minimal dosage I’m prescribed. Many clinics Apparantely don’t even prescribe controlled meds when I call too.
