YES!!!! Pain Pills!!!

Finally a doc who will give me pain pills. Yesterday I saw my hematologist and he was very angry that my other docs would let me walk around looking like I was about to pass out from pain...he called it unethical. And since he's a blood doc he said that it won't bother my tests as much as they would like me to believe. So I got a prescription so that I feel like I can breathe despite the pain.

Anyway, he said I don't have cancer and my levels are likely to be high because of the tumor and my body it trying to fight it...not because I have a bone marrow problem (cancer). He ordered the tests and any blood tests that would be considered pre-op for my surgery and recommended I go to a neurosurgeon ASAP because they will tell everyone I need it out ASAP. He even said that he could see it as soon as I walked in that I had changed, I was still a very pretty girl but something was wrong and different about me...then we chatted and before I even mentioned Cushing's he said that I had Cush...and I said I know Cushing's and he asked why I was here. He said it was very wrong of the docs to keep me going around like this for so long and they need to stop worrying about the blood work and pay attention to my clinical symptoms. He noted I have everyone in the book except the stretch marks!

He also has treated me for a number of years and apparently the docs that know me can tell that I have Cushing's now if only the other docs would have listened before things got nasty! I called the recommended surgeon and should hear back soon as to when they will see me and then we can go from there...

Always so much drama but at least I get to see a surgeon now and am not going to off myself because of the pain! Okay, now that I can sit and not be in pain I think I will go relax...Have a great day and keep all your body parts crossed that this is no more false hope!
