This Independence Day I Just Wanted My Independence Back

     The Vicoden and other pain medications aren't working. I am going to call Dr. T (neuro) tomorrow and see what else she has to say. Just take the pain away. I bet I am good part of the population that puts in this request every day. I don't know what anyone can do for me but I will do everything I can to try to figure out not only the Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia or the newly found Occipital Neuralgia but the high cholesterol, low vitamin d level, hypothyroidism, anxiety and panic attacks. Thirteen prescriptions and I'm still in pain. What is going on? They tell me that it's best to keep the names of the rx's to myself since they are prescribing for off-branding reasons. I can understand that. But if they are not working then what do I do? I go in and they say what they say and then ask if I had enough refills. Yeah, I have plenty. I walk around like a zombie. We had to go to the grocery store today, so I pulled myself out of bed. We also ran into Michael's to have a picture framed that we got in Disney World last year. I run into things and just feel like I just walking to the beat of my own drum. That's if I were to own a drum, and I had a beat.
