I think that is a great idea. My mom went to so many doctors, each telling her they could find nothing wrong with her. Finally, she went to Mayo and they found her cancer.

So, what am I supposed to do until then? The reason I am running out is that Medicare decided they knew better than my doctors that I only need one Cymbalta a day instead of two! Doesn't it just get you? You pay, pay and then pay and you still don't get to make the right choices for your own care! Rachel was sick all weekend so Robin's family didn't get to come over at all. Really strange holiday! Did I tell you I miss you?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968959727889618237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962012988788460946.post-32925882207937270532011-11-27T14:00:01.276-06:002011-11-27T14:00:01.276-06:00I can see that this would be totally frustrating a...I can see that this would be totally frustrating and I would shed some tears and get mad too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962012988788460946.post-73603840876114240382011-11-27T06:14:37.148-06:002011-11-27T06:14:37.148-06:00Just thinking...how about Mayo in Scottsdale.

Have you ...This has got to be so frustrating Joyce. Have you tried a University group? For some reason, I trust them more than an individual doctor or a small practice. They usually have the latest research available and know which doctors to refer you to within their system. Like all doctors, they are interested in money, but it is not often their first priority. Prestige seems to be more important to them and to have prestige you have to be outstanding. I used to work with a major university medical center and also saw the doctors there. <br />Also, I agree with Misha in that you need a rheumatologist. Good doctors are really hard to fine.

Of course, this all just makes it hard for the people who are not abusers and really need help. Funny thing is we could get whatever we wanted from Hospice...there doesn't seem to be much regulation there. Of course, we were so afraid of it all and my dad barely took morphine at the end. Thank goodness, he really didn't have much pain...the only saving grace. Maybe I am just tired but life just seems such a mess sometimes. Let us know what happens...ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962012988788460946.post-20804682779212184062011-11-26T15:04:30.408-06:002011-11-26T15:04:30.408-06:00Joyce, you need a Rhuematologist that specializes ...Joyce, you need a Rhuematologist that specializes in pain mangt. That is what I go to!<br />And getting prescriptions filled in a state where the Doc is not licensed <br />is nil! So you probably need two doc's who can work together as you travel!<br />It took me 5 years to find mine :)<br />Keep plugging along. It WILL work out!<br />xo, misha~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.com
