Does that seem reasonable? Yes!
It is totally reasonable to get whatever you need to control pain. The only thing unreasonable is the war being waged against pain victims, uh, I mean drugs.

1 ReactionHave you called your local State Boards? Your congressmen and/or women? If not m, chop chop! 😉
The first place I’d start would be the State Nursing Board.
Start screeching, woman. Now.
I would still talk to Chronic Pain Clinic no matter what your nurse practitioner says. My doctor, who is a good doctor never once said anything to me about it. We researched it on our own. As a rule these pain clinic physicians are very sensitive and understanding to your pain and will do what they can to help.

1 ReactionHi. My name is Julie and I had encephalitis and meningitis of unknown origin which lasted 6 months and that cleared up about a year ago. During these last 12 months the headaches continue daily and are very incapacitating and brain recovery is difficult and slow due to the ongoing headaches. I’ve had/ have numerous oral medications and the Cephaly device, as well as had 3 Occipital injections, 2 trials of Botox injections with no response, and now am on month 2 of Emgality. My neurologist is working his way through the options and I do appreciate that but love that I found this group and maybe will get some good support and advice. Is anyone else on Emgality? If so, how long was it before you saw results?
Yes! Absolutely!

1 ReactionHi everyone. Nice to join this group. My name is Suzanne Taylor.
Have been suffering horrible pain for many years. Since 1999
@2muchpain hi Suzanne. If you are ok with it could you share your conditions?
@faithwalker007 and all. The NP’s at the pain clinic do all the prescribing and the doctor they report to performs all of the procedures. Would this be going above my NP’s head to her boss? Would that damage our relationship permanently and potentially cause her to retaliate in some way? She’s a great NP but I think the DEA stuff intimidates her. Please everyone please share your thoughts and thanks so much for listening!
