Hi Gabe, I saw my pain management doc yesterday and he was NOT
Happy that I had stopped the Gaberpentin, so I am back on it, oh well, I have discussed things with my local Doc, and she is happy for me to stop one narcotic at a time, or at least take fewer which is what I am doing. Will see how it goes over the next week or so.
My Pain Doc is in Brisbane, my local Doc is here in Coffs Harbour where we have moved to, I have to go back to Brisbane inn four weeks to see my Onco and my ENT. I get tired of the travelling even though it is only five hours. I apologise for having a winge but putting it down on paper oops screen seems to make me feel better about things.
