Lupron or no lupron that is the question. Life SUCKED in a big bad way when I did my last round of Lupron....but the pain was better. I lose my PPO at the end of the month and transition to high ded. HSA and that is gonna suck HUGE! This might be my last chance at trying Lupron therapy for pain relief. Do I try it again or live a miserable existence? Lupron or no Lupron I lose. I am sick of this life. I want a re-do.

MIA

Sorry...I have been MIA...I just didn't realize how long it had been! Not much new to report. I am seeing a different doctor next week to get a consult. I have been collecting medical records from all my surgeries, tests, labs, clinic visits, etc. That was interesting reading to say the least! Hopefully this doctor will have a treatment to try.

I just want the fatigue to go away. I am so tired ALL the time and I don't know why. My doctor won't do anything - she suggested a sleep study but the sleep doctor said I am not someone with sleep issues so he didn't think I needed one....so frustrating!

I am at the end of my rope. I am tired of the fight. I am tired of doing this alone.

Doctors...

Probably the biggest source of frustration in my life is doctors. Some listen, some don't. Some will try and treat you, some will tell you there is nothing that can be done. It is 2011 people! Haven't we had enough advancement in medicine to know how to help someone live pain-free?! I cannot handle the exhaustion effect lupron puts upon me. I am fighting fatigue daily anyway adding in some killer side-effects from that drug did awful things to me. So the next drug therapy...is one where you start at low doses and gradually increase to see if it at all helps. Well I have increased as much as I can and so far...the pain is bad. Not as bad as when I am on nothing, but bad to where I have to alter my life. The pain was better when I was on Lupron, but I didn't have a life and all I did was sleep. Do I have to choose between no life and little pain and constant fatigue, or no life because of pain and pain and some fatigue? I just want answers and a treatment plan that works. I just want a life again.
