I am not well. Severe pain. My incision site is burning up and I still have a fever. No improvement but not getting worse I don't think.

I begged to get antibiotics the day before because I am high risk for infections and immune compromised. The doctor didn't take it seriously, they never do and said I would be fine taking anti biotics after the surgery.

I told him not only do I always get post op infections these immune system issues have been know to happen in ME patients since at least the 80's.I encouraged him to look it up and read the research himself because he didn't believe me. If I were diabetic or had HIV my risk of infection would be taken seriously but since it's ME it's brushed off.

The doc on call this weekend specifically told me not to go to the hospital and I needed to wait until today to talk to primary care about the infection. At least it was noted that the nerve block didn't take at the hospital. I was given an amount of pain meds that were supposed to be for someone who the nerve block worked on. Once again I suffer do to other's incompetence. The surgeon never checked on me post op, so he never knew. The hospital told me to double up on the meds as prescribed but didn't tell me that I only had a day an a half of meds and even doubling up is still a low dose of post op pain meds.

I am really sick and have been in agonizing pain since early Friday morning.
