Opinions

In light of everything going on... My IC is acting up big time. Has been for a couple weeks now. This is the least responsive to the pain meds. Since I'm going to have to stretch my pain meds out do you think it would be a violation of my contract to go see my pcp and ask for some lidocaine suppositories and a muscle relaxer to get ne through till my appt on may 3rd. I won't be asking for any narcotics but I'm so paranoid right Now I don't want to do anything I'm not supposed to. I read through my contract again and it specifically talks about narcotics. I'm going to ask my moms opinion too but I do appreciate all your wisdoms :).
Thank you!

Yeah I've just decided to wait. Been laying on the couch and luckily hubbys been kind enough to give out massages :) he's really great at it. I already feel very uncomfortable about all this and don't really understand it. Itsso weird how this area of medicine is so different. I bet people with diabetesdont feel weird calling their doctors if their bodies change in some way. It's kinda frustrating. And nobody gets it. Friday was my day off and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch. Hubby wanted to go for a hike. Nevermind he's already tried to map me out an exercise routine cause I'm so "lazy." I'm sorry. I can't walk for miles. Even less when I've gotta pee every 15 min. I wouldve walked around the block but as long as we wouldve stayed close to home so I could go back when I needed to. But no I'm lazy and all I "want" to do is hide the pain. Not solve the problem. I'm sorry there is no solving the problem. These are things I've got to live with. And yes I recognize that this affects him too but it's my body that's feeling the pain. The least he could do is really hear me and just accept that things have changed. I used to be a very succesfull Mary Kay sales director always on the run. I just can't do things like I used to. So if I'm walking hunched quit complaining about my posture. I'm trying to get comfortable. If I'm laying on the couch it's not because I don't want to sit up. It hurts to sit up.
I'm sorry Sandee this is not directed towards you. I'm just so frustrated and I constantly feel like I'm being pulled up and down like a yoyo. Thank you for responding and letting me vent. This site has made me feel less alone and for that I thank every one of you. I hope you all have a comfortable night! :)

Well it is a fine line. I would call your PM doctor and ask the nurse would this be acceptable to be safe.
