Getting the Adhesion Message Out

Along the lines of the previous postings, I watched Real Medicine on Lifetime Network on Sunday and they showed a patient with fibromyalgia (sp?). One doctor believed how debilitating this disease is, the other one would not write a letter to support her disability claim. The young lady showed up in the ER after practically overdosing on pain meds because of the severe headache and muscle pain. The doctor who wasn't a believer finally saw the light and ordered Morphine drip until her pain was relieved and agreed to sign a disability application.

I had mentioned this show before to Chrissie and she added it to her list of contact to get the message out. It is usually on Sunday at 8 p.m. Lifetime Channel, you can check out the web site at Lifetimetv.com and Whoopi Goldberg is the producer of the show. The two main doctors are female and run a women's clinic dealing with infertility, plastic surgery, menopause, all kinds of women's issues.

A note about doctors who don't believe you--find another one--I know it is hard. I have been dealing with negative doctors for over 25 years but finally found the best PCP in my area. She believes me and will go to bat for me with whatever I need. I only hope she never relocates because my family may just follow her!

Take care,

kathy
