Scared

I spent a good 6 hours in the ER yesterday. Despite lots of medications they never really got on top of my pain. The prescription my doctor called in was for Tylenol 3. She doesn't want to give me another triptan and she doesn't think any of the other stuff will work for me so she just wants to try to treat the pain from a distance. She said, unsolicited, that she can't write for a narcotic from Virginia because she would need to sign the prescription. I didn't know we were there. I thought we would spend the next couple of weeks trying different rescue meds not trying to cover up my pain.

This situation continues to get worse. I can't manage without a rescue. I don't know what to do here. I'm so scared.

Today I'm going to try to get an appointment with the neurologist I saw back in July at Mayo. At least he is here and maybe can offer some help.
