Feeling quite hopeless

Still in a lot of pain. Got a massage yesterday that felt great but the pain returned shortly after. Went to the old primary’s office today and saw the nurse practitioner. She put me on gabapentin and reviewed my chart. Apparently I have never been tested for Lyme disease or rheumatoid arthritis, amongst other things. I guess I’m glad we discovered that and can proceed, but I’m so angry that I have been going through this for so long and the people whom I trusted to help me didn’t bother to put me on the right medicines or test for possible conditions. (After the gabapentin change we will be adding Lyrica and some other medicines).

Hillary i know how you feel. I am laying in bed when there are a million things that need to be done. But guess what just can’t do it today and it probably won’t all get done tomorrow. I have learned to be okay with that or lose my sanity. It takes a while to get the right meds, dosage to fit your body. What works for one may not work another. I know its frustrating but don’t give up or give in. We understand
