[|Human|] Hello, I am 45 yr. female. Was diagnosed almost 3 years ago with Rocky Mt. Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease. Since then, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, as I literally have extreme pain from top of head to bottom of feet..unable to sit for more than 10 min. Pain goes from 3-9 depending on day/time. My PCP has me on 15 mg. oxycodone 4 times a day and a muscle relaxer. I do not take the whole 15 mg. pill at one time, as I have to break them in half so that I can have almost a continuous relief from pain. My pain is VERY extensive. I have a disabled husband and son and a 15 year old..and I am the only one that can drive to get groceries, etc. My pcp is forcing me to go to pain management, which when I went about a year ago, was a horrible experience, and I feel that my pcp should be able to take care of my needs..i asked her why she is insisting me to go to pain management and she won t give me an honest answer. Apparently it s for liability reasons. I have never used drugs nor ever had a bad urine test. I don t know what to do at this point?? My family relies on me..and yes, I have tried physical therapy. There is a new self-pay pain clinic in area, but I don t want to be accused of doctor shopping ..Please help.
