Hi Leigh,

I called them but they didn't take me to the hospital because, according to them, the increased pain is not an emergency and that the public hospitals are packed.

What a lot of crock.
Australia resembles a third world country in regards to health.

I signed up for private health insurance in December 2022 but I am not eligible for treatment because there is a 12 month waiting period for existing injuries otherwise I could have gone to a private hospital.

I wish that I were in Florida,bbecause you have a lot of good neurosurgeons there.

Unfortunately I can't go there because I chose not to accept a clinical trial mrna shot.

They re-adjusted my pain management medication and increased the pregabalin to 75mg and added Tapendatol on top of the the targin.

This allowed me to sleep last night.

Also my appointment with another neurosurgeon for a second opinion has been postponed to May 17 from 22 of March due to personal issues.
This is another spanner in the works.

All I can do now is to keep praying 🙏

Best regards

Alfred

Hello Alfred,

I am glad to hear you slept but sorry to hear that you do not have better health care there. I hope that the adjustments in your pain meds continue to help you sleep . I am hoping that they have an cancelation and that you get into the neurosurgeon before May.

Take care 🙏 Leigh
