Brenda,

I get so frustrated when I read your posts. Just what about your current situation does your medical team thinks isn't stressful???

I don't understand why they won't provide you with anti anxiety meds and really strong pain meds...like the patch. Is this typical in the UK, or is this specific to your team? Do you have something like ambien to help sleep at night?

Do you have to make a fuss and jump up and down to get what you need? Fortunately, we didn't have the problems you are dealing with in regards to meds. I only had to jump up and down once when they put an IV in wrong and blew through a vein...causing his arm to blow up. But, everything else went pretty smoothly.

It makes me sad that you have any discomfort.
