Almost Unbareable Poem by Dianna Nally

When the pain first started They said it wouldn't last
But it's been five years so I guess they were wrong
So they sent me to a specialist to see what he would say
he gave me meds and told me to be strong.

I wasn't impressed with the way he did his job
So I found another, but had to wait 4 months to get in
I finally made it, his P.A. saw my pain, and said
' to endure this kind pain should be a sin.'

By this time the pain had gotten so bad
that I couldn't eat or sleep anymore
He did lots of tests, even an MRI
So that he would know the score.

Well they finally came up with a diagnosis
and it was much worse then we had ever thought
The pain has taken the whole right side of my face
and this whole thing has left me totally distraught.

So the treatment we will start out with is meds
And so far nothing they have given me has worked
The pains gotten worse, and it will worsen even more
And the pains getting so unbearable I am easily irked.

Now I've been given 3 options for treatment
One is the medications we are doing now
The other 2 have to do with working on my brain
It's up to me just what surgery I will allow.
