I have been getting 'scripts for painkillers on a '2 days' basis with no refills, and no words from the docs on making a new appt. Well, I've seen over the past couple of weeks: 1 doc, another doc, the first doc again, my primary doc, then ANOTHER doc. When I went in today and got another '2 day' pain 'script, i went politely ballistic in their office. This has been fucking ridiculous- I keep getting pain perscriptions for 2 days and apparently the docs think I'm suddenly going to magically have no more pain. But guess what- this has been going on for WEEKS with me in pain and it's not going to MAGICALLY get better in 2 days just because I got ANOTHER 2 day perscription for pain meds. I stated all this and more, VERY politely mind you, but this and more and the nurse got all wide eyed and went back to speak with the doc, etc etc etc.

I have a CT scan tomorrow, then another appt. with my doc after that to discuss the CT scan.

Being a bitch gets results, sometimes. I keep forgetting this- I have zero 'assertion' skills, a result of almost zero self esteem. It is possible to be assertive without being aggressive, and I actually managed to do that today.

Hownda.

I'll post tomorrow after I talk with my doc.
