i got a lecture today from my rheumatologist, whom i've known 20 years...
he thinks i am being given too many pain meds (by another doctor) and is upset that my weight is down again, to 92 pounds...but he is sure i have a an "eating disorder" unrelated to having no appetite from pain medication...
however, i can't eat with hydrocodone and the oxy is the worst for killing appetite...i take the oxy every other day now, cause the pain is so bad...
(i posted in "nonsurgical" under "are you losing weight")
sooo...he wants me to see a shrink for an eating disorder, but i told him i have a "pain disorder"!
you're up in Canada not getting meds, i am down in the States being told i am getting too many meds!!
we could switch places for a while...
the bottom line is he thinks i am in denial about eating disorder and using pain meds as the excuse....i told him no, the pain is the problem, and the meds for the pain prevent the appetite from being there at all!
Catch 22??
