@oldkarl

Pain control and management is a rough edge for most in this group. I went to a pain control place just once. The guy offered me pot, said that nothing else but fentanyl would help. Then I tried hydrocodone, and had hallucinations. So I am back to super tylenol and super ty PM at nigh, total 4000 /day, . The rest of the time I just swear under my breath.

@parus So true, friend. At one point I was hurting very much in my heart. I made an appointment with a highly renowned cardiologist. He called me "Psycho" in the meeting. Then he stormed out of the door. He never even left a record that I had approached that research and specialty facility in Oregon, where was a supervisor, for help. PPHHHHTTTT!

@oldkarl Did you get to thank the jerk for the compliment. I once went to a a pain clinic and was banned from there for asking an arrogant doctor if he was familiar with the Hippocratic Oath and that I felt he was harming me by negating my pain-called me a headcase. His face turned red as the veins in his neck bulged. He stormed out slamming the door. Guess the truth hurt. Later learned that pain clinic was closed down. I continue to gird my armour on...
Not drug seeking but I am in search of answers.
Advice to others-do not use the Hippocratic oath approach.

I took my self of all pain killers as they were not working that’s when I tried the hypnotherapy and I haven’t looked back and it is mentioned in the Mayo book re pain
It worth the effort

AMAZING! I hope it wasn't OHSU, but if it was, I hope that psycho is no longer there.

Got quite a chuckle from your post @parus It is too bad that there are doctors out there that are not in the right job! I have heard several stories lately about questionable bedside manner and telling people the pain is all in their head.

@lyssia - I'm grateful for a neurologist who doesn't just blow me off, but listens, and is doing tests that indicate that he wants to know what's going on. It took me awhile to get him to communicate with me, and it was worth the effort. He's a naturally shy, very quiet man, and so am I, which isn't a good combination for making productive conversation. I guess I've been persistent enough, and asked enough questions to make him notice me.

@freakers @ed32 - I'm not interested in hypnosis, but I do know that meditation and mindfulness exercises help me. My meditation is a meditating on thoughts from the Bible, and a meditative prayer. Some call it contemplative prayer.
