Yesterday was the worst my hands have been in a long time.. I was in tears, I had to call mom to get her to come get Jodi.. it seemed like no matter what I did they would still pain and itch like crazy!
Anyways, I called the rheumatologist I'm waiting to see (I'm on a waiting list) and left a message for her and told her that I was in severe pain and could barley function and I needed her to call me .&. give me some advice cause I'm going insane. A few hours later a woman (not my actual dr.) called and said she would read my the reply my doctor wrote "see your family doc.".. that was it. I told this woman on the phone that I was into see a dermatologist who told me what I had was Erythromelalgia .&. to contact my rheumatologist as they specialize in this.
The woman on the phone wasn't very polite she said "well this is what she wrote" and then repeated what was written .&. also tried to tell me that a rheumatologist didn't deal with that.. maybe they don't but that's not what I was told I was simply following directions!! .&. I told her that then I hung up. Rude I know.. but sometimes I get so sick of people, they have no idea how much pain I'm in! What do I have to do, call them crying!?
Another thing that annoys me.. people who go down to the ER for stupid stuff their family doctor could have taken care of. Like a cold, or strepthroat! Why do you people go to the emergency for something so simple... you must be bored + put a mask on, we don't wait what you have. You know what makes me really mad after you get in, you tell the doctor your in severe pain, you either have to wait forever for it (ok maybe not forever, but when your in a lot of pain it feels that way!) or they don't want to give it to you for some reason or another and they try you with a non-narcotic medicine. Then you bug for it anyways .&. they look at you like your a damn addict.. no I just want something that will allow me to sleep so I don't have to feel the pain!
Seriously I'm in a lot of pain right now .&. all I want is to not feel it, no matter what it takes! I can't sleep because Jodi is up, but hopefully we'll have some quiet time today .&. I can sleep for a little bit seems how I didn't sleep well last night, was up about 4 times for about 30 minutes so I lost 2 hours of sleep... Urghh!
