4 Pain Clinic.

I have now been at the pain clinic at the University Hospital.
They always talk big words, but i wonder if they will do anything.
They are more interested in being a good coworker than putting the patients first.
They said they now would like me to try cognitive therapy, and hypnosis, and would call my psychiatric nurse, but they haven't. I would be surprised if they had.
Second they said my family doctor should sent me on a second opinion to Haukeland hospital in Bergen.
But again, my family doctor hasn't gotten the summary, or gotten a hold of the doctor, so then she does nothing!
Third, my family doctor wants the pain clinic to assign every aspects of my treatment from them,But they don't see why they should, they think my doctor

4 My own Tens

Today I got a new TENS device, that is mine :) Very happy about that. I do have to pay for my own pads, but that is 7$ a month. I can live with that.

What was more unsettling was that I was at the National Hospital for my check-up. They said I had to go to Ullevål to get the Tens. But when I got there they said that a new regulation from 01-2011, did that I had to pick the Tens up at Buskerud regional hospital because I was part of Vestre Viken and not Oslo. Norwegian bureaucracy my ass.
So then we finally made it to aids center and the first the woman said is: I don't know if we have anymore Tens, because we have ordered several that hasn't arrived yet.. Are you kidding me?
She went into another room, and when she came back she had a Tens devise in her hand.. johooo...
I got a Tens after some serious driving around half the east cost.

0 Bite me own ass...

After a weekend with walks, coffee date, brunch and birthday, I am now paying for it. big times.
I have been hooked up to the tens for 24 hours now, and several ketogan later, I am still in horrible shape.
I do forget sometimes that I am sick. I don't forget it, I try to deny that this is happening to me.
Nobody things that what we read in the papers can happen to you. You feel with those people, and close the papers. Out of sight, out of mind. And you only starts to think about it when you are into you're knees in problems. And then you don't have the strength to help any one else.
I just have to bow to those people who helps others, just because it is their nature, and heart to help!

0 Tens Volume on the way

I am sitting in the cough, mark I am sitting, not lying☺!
I have to sit or else the patches will loosen and I get electrocuted.
Not fun, but I get the pleasure of knowing that I am still alive.
Tens is a really strange thing, It feels like this tingling sensation when you're foot has fallen a sleep! Except it is in my chest.
I cant say after two days that this works, and I have been through the park a few times already. So to belive that this will save me, would be naive of me.
But if it will help me just a few %, will be good enough for me. And if it will work great, than I will take of my headband and eat it ☺

2 Tens

Today I finally got my Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or tens as the doctor calls it.
I am very anxious to see if this will work better this year. I hope this will be better than the last few years!
This is an extraordinary piece of equipment. It actually take away angina attacks within 3 min. It also work on menstrual pains, and it is without side effects.

I am going to try this over 14 days, and if it works I can get a unit for free. They can also operate in a thin tread that you can use a mobile devise to regulate regulate the milliamperes that goes into the tens.
I do know it is a long shot that this will work, but I am trying this and hoping that it will work a few %!

6 Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Today I was at the hospital again, and not much is changing. I am going to continue with my medicines.
And I am going to go to pain school, and to a physical therapist that is going to see if  Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation can have some effect on my pain.

I have tried this before, but I guess everything is worth trying twice.
