Idramjet, How true you words on the drugs. Although my experience has only been a year, I have been treated with most of those drugs. As you also say Opiods have been criminalized. They over many a life without constant pain. I probably not be alive had it not been for them. Not because of the pain per say, but I didn't want to live like that anymore!
When I finally shook off what the dr. were saying about them, and then had a heart to heart with my Primary Care I came out of it! I am so Lucky to have someone like him. Although he would never diagnose me with Lyme, even when I came in with several papers showing all the symptoms I had were right there.
Probably if the truth be known the hospital organization he works for won't let them confirm various diseases. Same thing happened 6 years ago and had Adult Whooping Cough that took then three months to confirm. Then the NP did diagnose it she was run out of the organiztion for unknown reasons.
I will try and find some time first thing in the AM, Friday, and do some research on the test and the other suggestions everyon has had.
Thank You All for the Feedback!
