I went to see my GP Dr M at my local general practice, they said that this would be the last time they would give me the tablets, I can understand why as they say they are addictive. So when I was running out I booked an appointment with my GP Dr M as I wanted to know what to do.
To my surprise they had booked me in to see another doctor, a Dr. E so I did not see my own GP. Dr E gave me the tablets so I was now ok with my headaches, I know they are addictive but I do not take them every 4 hours as it is stated on the box, I only take two once a day when I am really bad that is usually in the mornings as I volunteer in a shop and taking two tablets allows me to work for a few hours, when I get home i try and put up with the headaches and that is not an easy thing to do.
A couple of weeks ago i saw Dr M who seemingly refused to help me. I recall they said that there was nothing they can do and i have to wait to see the pain managment team , this could take months before i see them, i asked if they could please give me something for the headaches still the answer was no,
More recently i had a call from the liver clinic at the hospital they told me to see one of the other doctors in York so i booked an appointment with Dr L, they said there was nothing they could do because Dr M told doctors at the clinic not to give me any tablets for my pain. I think Dr L is a very helpful and considerate doctor and they told me that they understood what i was going through but unfortunately the could not help. They did refer me back to Dr F, so i just have to wait now,
I did have an old script from Dr F for my headaches called emgality so i have an injection to help me now, i hope that they will work at least until i get an appointment with the pain managment team. I am a human being who suffers with pain, i really do not understand why people seemingly think i can just sit at home in pain and do nothing this is not a life anymore, i would like my life back.
But right now i am at my wits end and stressing because all i can do is wait and hope that the emgality injections will work, if they do not work i really do not know what i will do, all this is making me depressed and just really fed up with everything.
