Re: rough time
Okay, good on you @outlander 😀👍And I agree with your aunt about getting a second opinion on the dental and nerve issues.
With MyAgedCare .. are you referring to a home care package? It can sometimes take many months for packages to get approved. So the sooner you get necessary paperwork in, the better. You will likely want or need, your pops GPs recommendation or support as well. I know the application process is a pain in the butt, but it would be so good to get it happening. Not just for you, but for your Pop too.
I hope your pain settles down soon. Have you taken some OTC pain relief yet? I know its preferable not to be doing so, but relief from, what has now been fairly long term, pain is very important. If you need it .. take it.

Re: rough time
Theres 2 parts to my aged care and their terms of support. Theres the one with the acat assessment nd levels of home care package but theres lo the other part which is called RAS. All of which is process as usual. His gp is on board so if i need to i can get them to help.
Ive taken pain relief. Ive taken to sitting on the floor since thats usully where i end up with the cramps come on anyway.
Trying to see if i can start sewing my crochet blanket together while im down here. Ive been taking something stronger thn otc stuff. I wasnt sure if i could tske it but gp said i could the PMs pills for pain. They help abit more then otc stuff but since the pain breaks through even this strength and target pain killer that i what has me worried. @Former-Member

Re: rough time
Been thinking of you throughout the weekend @outlander . You have been very quiet, so I am a bit concerned about you. Were you seeing the GP today about the results of your ultrasound? I really hope you have had a relatively quiet weekend allowing for a chance to rest and get your pain levels down to a tolerable level.
Sending love and a big hug.

Re: rough time
I went back to the drs this morning and it turns out that i had a rather large ovarian cyst rupture. This would explain the pain and other symptoms and shes given me some stronger targeted pain relief to use. Thankfully implant is still perfectly fine.

Re: rough time
Wow @outlander that’s a bit of an oversight from previous Drs. Not good at all. Definitely explains pain. Look after yourself. 💛💛💙💙

Re: rough time
Ahhh very good @outlander ... although its not good that you have a ruptured ovarian cyst, it does explain the reason for the symptoms you've been experiencing. At least it should now give peace of mind that all is well with the implant. Lets hope everything finally settles down now. Thanks for letting us know. I was worrying.

Thanks @Former-Member @Maggie @Sans911 💕💕
I actually quite like the dr i seen. If i cant get into my regular gp i think ill see her instead of medical centre. This centre is bulkbilling for those on a pension except weekends but its only a 20 gap fee from Medicare for those not on a pension or on a weekend so not a huge amount.
She actually explains things properly and not just shoves you out the door (but trys to keep within 15 min otherwise the fee starts to go up)

Re: rough time
Hi @outlander
No wonder you were in so much pain - a ruptured ovarian cyst is something that needs strong pain medication and I am glad that you now have a targeted preparation presribed that will really help - you have been through so much - I am glad the implant is in the right place - hopefully it will all settle down quickly
I am glad you saw this new doctor too - yes - understand that you need to see a doctor at a bulk bill place - and it does cost a lot of money to see a private GP - and it does add up if you see them a lot.
Btw - after you have paid a certain amount in a calendar yearMedicare does increase the rebate - but it is quite a lot for someone with a limited income
I hope you get a lot of relief from this different medication
