THIS TOO SHALL PASS

              Another day, another blog, same issues.  Today I realized how absolutely ludicrous the United States Health Care System really is.  And this sentence Newt and
                             As you might know I am having hoard problems getting the doctors  to give me the medication I need.  As I've said before, the pain Dr. will not give me the a benzodiazepines I need to stop the 24/7 nonstop spasms and cramping that I have in my muscles and spine.  Benzodiazepines are considered a phyce the drug, he is a pain Dr. not a psychologist.  It is  unethical for him " prescribe a benzo" being that he is a pain specialist, and these medications fall under the auspices of psychology  medications.  So I was sent to a pain psychologist.
                          Turns out that the pain psychologist, i am seeing is not in pain management, and just  ordinary psychologists  Why in god's name did it take eight months for them to tell me that!  Here I am making a fool of myself trying to get medication from a man who does not prescribe for my condition.  The pain Dr. knows as well as most other doctors that one medication can have multiple purposes, the benzo, works not only on the brain  but the entire nervous system.  I am still looking for a pain psychologist, the clinic sent a generic form to some generic place saying in a very generic terms that I need help.  Today I called the clinic and told them that  my Dr. Really does need to help me.  With some more than a generic a letter stating that I need help.  If my Dr. Is not going to speak up for me what chance do I have?  I just can really don't understand why he wouldn't tell the pain psychologist  what it is  he knows I need, they didn't even bother to send in collaborating materials.
                          This has become a year long ordeal, I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to hold up.  If I have never in my life I felt like such a mess.  I think for the first time in my life if I'm actually frightened.
