I need some painkillers I have given up on the Codeine the hospital gave me they are not working and it seems pointless taking them, I am fed up of feeling this way I want to get on with my life. It is a Saturday and our GP Surgery is closed so we have gone to the ‘Doctors Surgery’ which is based at the local hospital. This is a different hospital to the one I was at before, the GP admits me.
They seem to listen to me a little more from the start; I am put into a side room so I can be away from light and sound which still bothers me. I am moved to a different ward and again placed into a side room. They do several tests, with no clear results, they try to say ‘Migraines’ again but I refuse to listen. Then they say that is the pain killers I have been taking that caused the headaches; I try to tell them that I haven’t been taking that many painkillers and that the headaches started way before I started taking any painkillers but they seem to ignore me.
They slowly reduce the painkillers and put me on high doses of a drug called Amitriptyline; I am unhappy with this as it is making me put allot of weight on. I am crying pretty much constantly in pain but they don’t seem to listen. After two weeks of being in hospital I have run out tears and I am sent home, the pain is still there... it hurts so much but the doctors are convinced their methods has worked even though I try to tell them it hasn’t.
Obviously at this time they havent diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia they still thing it is headaches and migraines.
