I went to a fill in GP this morning as my GP is out of town. I asked for a refill of tramadol and my gosh, she just went on and on berating me and humiliating me saying I was too young to be on it. That kind of pain relief won't help arthritis or fibromyalgia, she only gives that to cancer patients, she knows chronic pain and she will give me naprogesic. If I want that go to a pain specialist. I said I have been to a pain specialist and he was the one to prescribe this. Then she just kept going on and on about me being too young to take it and that pain relief won't help my chronic pain she knows chronic pain. I said dealing with chronic pain and living with it are two different things and this is why she is a GP not a pain specialist. Well, she closed my file, cancelled the referral she was writing me and kicked me out of her office. I've never been so defeated, humiliated, devastated or shattered. I told her she completely invalidated my experience as a pain sufferer but no, she didn't believe she did so she was right. HOW THE FK CAN SOMEONE ELSE DECIDE WHAT WILL AND WONT WORK FOR YOU? HOW THE FK CAN SOMEONE ELSE THINK ITS OK TO BERATE SOMEONE LIKE THAT? I am completely devastated. If I feel asleep and didn't wake I'd be happy. #Fibromyaliga #Osteoarthritis #RheumatoidArthritis #PCOS #shitdoctors #MentalHealth #devastated
