Well, I hope that Dr. B will be on board with us to help from the medical aspect of things....because I can only get into Bridgeways for counseling and only with a open medical coupon, which I don't have, and Lisa said to ask for Case Management. So that was a dead end. But I have more medical problems than I do mental health.
She's also referring me to COPES to see if possibly we can do it on my current insurance situation. I don't want to lose my current relationship with Dr. Lance--I don't want to just go in there and just not say anything, I can't be dishonest like that, it's not right....because his copay would be required to be billed to DSHS, and he doesn't do that. It's frustrating, but I don't know what else I'm supposed to do; I have to keep the current situation, and I am just in a rock and a hard place. If Dr. Blade will prescribe my meds, and since I have a 90 day supply with refills, but the other meds--Idk if she will prescribe those, but I do not ever, ever, ever want to go back to Dr. Jones again. I do the PT every day at home, I do the beginner yoga that I am able to, I can't use my friend's pool, and the YMCA is not an option because I can get the membership, but the problems is that I cannot get a ride there.
But it's a stressor for me, and we're sorta to the wire--we've got nine months, and I am freaked out. I see Dr. B on the 7th, and I need to know that I can have her on board to make the referrals, and also the do the prescribing that Dr. L is doing because. Lisa is going to come with me on the 7th, so ya know, I think that will be a good thing for her to explain that my housing will now rest on a medical need and Dr. B's cooperation is going to be essential (I'll wear my oxygen that day..oooohhh, so bad!!!!! But shoot, I am gonna have to find some way to make it!!!!!)......and that Dr. B is quite possibly going to need to take up prescribing my pain meds.
But I want her to know I was not the "uncooperative" patient who kept asking for more meds--the nurse at least should attest that I wanted to try something different and now with the pain increased after the surgery--and I can't explain why, and then I had that stupid neurologist wanting to blame all my "neurogenic pain" on the "psychological disorder!!!!! Urrrrrgggggghhhhhh, I hate that crap!!!!!!!! Can't explain it ----> blame the patient, and call it psychological. Uh, Miss Neurologist all of those neurotransmitters you'd be referring to that work in "psychological disorders"
Serotonin--mood, sleep-wake, yes, to a small degree, pain, symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, treatment of schizophrenia, temperature regulation, sexual behavior, appetite, learning, memory, endocrine functions, muscular functions but I think that is plenty to list and prove that this one brain chemical as she so patronizingly said said.
GABA-inhibitory neurotransmitter (btw, the only one she could throw at me that acts dually with pain and psychiatriac disorders, and while we're at it, since you're a neurologist, I prefer the term "neurobiological disorders." ******
Substance P-Yes, also pain, also has many other functions: immunological and platelet function just for starters!
I could play war, but then you've just won. Go screw. But I will have to talk to Lisa before the appointment and just say "hey, we've not been able to make it official."
But fudgin-A, I am so sick of having to prove it all, and prove this, and prove that.
I hurt, I can't sit at the computer without falling asleep.
I need to crash, and I friggin hurt, so break time!!!
