Dr given me pain medication that doesn't help at all ive been treated as a neurotic woman which of which im not. this attitude doesn't help my condition I could scream with the pain every day. I need them to investigate my condition but fear its to late. Im normally a very possotive but this cronich condition has diminished any form of positivity . I cry for help every day sorry to bee morbid but its how I feel.

@poppsy1 Oh my goodness, I wish I could help you with a good answer. Perhaps you should ask for a specialist referral by this doctor you have, who considers you neurotic (which of course you're NOT). It's totally unacceptable for your doctor to think of you in that way. Can you ask for a second opinion by another doctor? Or, change doctors? Warm regards, Laurie
I am right there with you. I feel as though people don't believe me. That I am making it up to get out of working.... I would give anything to change bodies. I would love to be able to function without pain or doped up on meds
@poppsy1, You have my sympathy for the medical issues facing you. Please consider going to a doctor who will listen to you and give you more than pain pills. A good doctor can refer you to specialists. Sometimes pain pills just won't work. You may have more than one issue facing you, but please locate a different doctor who is willing to help you. Best wishes, @joybringer1

Hello @poppsy1, Welcome to Connect. I'm know it's hard when you feel like the doctors aren't listening to you or are ignoring you and it must be especially difficult living on your own. Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy? Are you able to share a little more about you diagnosis and symptoms?
