I told my doctor I was willing to try voodoo dolls & chicken blood if necessary!! When I grabbed my own arms and said "this is the ONLY place I have to live" and I can't live with the pain anymore he got the message. I think he was actually afraid I would have some sort of meltdown in his office, but out came the RX pad. Please don't give into a system we all know can at least offer a small amount of pain relief. ~Kathleen~
