April 2008 - June 2008 Admission to "Methodist Hospital":

So far these were the worst months of my life. I was feeling constantly bad on a regular basis. The pain was so unbearable during this time that I wasn't sleeping for more then 2-3hr, which weren't consecutive hours. I ended up in the EMERGENCY room at Methodist Hospital.

The doctor I met in the ER dept. was probably the most truthful of all the doctors I have spoken to so far. I wish I could remember his name but because of the pain that entire visit was a blur and was busy tying to just breathe. They gave me a shot of morphine on multiple occasions and nothing worked. So they gave me some other medication to put me to sleep and then they admittted me.

I was on morphine for the rest of my stay there and percocet. As strong as these medications were I found no relief from pain when they were administered to me. For Example out of 1-10 my pain level was at a 20 and the medication brought it down to 15, which isn't comforting at all. Every hour the pain was coming back stronger & harder. I had no control over the pain shooting down my legs and I couldnt stop moving them even when I tried. I had to keep calling the nurse for medication to try to keep it at 15. Unfortunately they couldn't find a source to my pain and discharged me on the basis that they no longer know how to treat me. You know how rejected, hurt and hopeless I felt... I Just need to know what is wrong with me. Below you will find pictures a family member took of me when I was the most conscious during my stay.
