June 30th Update

I saw my new family doctor this morning and the appointment went great. Basically she took a really good history from me, asking me about different things we have and have not tried, did a physical exam, and told me that her first priority was to get me comfortable then we would start tackling the other issues. She seemed to believe though if we could break this pain cycle then my body wouldn't be as stressed so my blood pressure, heart rate, and fever will probably go away. Also she believes that I will probably be able to get more sleep plus we are hoping eating and drinking won't cause as many problems. So she gave me some medication for the pain to take every four hours until the pain cycle breaks and told me to go straight to bed to get some rest. It feels so great to have a doctor that just gets it! She also had me sign a narcotics contract with her to support me next time I have to go to the ER. I'm so glad that I finally decided to change family doctors and I wish I had done it a long time ago!
