A Gift from The Pink Lady
Happy New Year. I hope this new year can bring
little less pain and a lot more life to all of you.
One of my patients received a very nice surprise a
few weeks ago. This was a gift from the Pink
Lady.
This lovely person had been suffering from
multiple injuries, widespread pain, and very high levels of stress for many
years. Her stress levels had become even more extreme in the past few months,
and with that had come a severe aggravation of her stomach pain.
Her stomach pain had not been her primary injury,
or even her primary source of pain, until the past few years. I believe her
stomach pain developed as a consequence of years of severe pain, pain
medications and widespread losses and stresses in her life.
Occasionally, her pain levels become so severe
that she needs to go for additional medical help. A few weeks ago it was
necessary for her to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night
because her stomach pain was so unbearable.
In previous visits to doctors, specialists and
emergency rooms, she has not found any real help, although for the most part
doctors do seem to understand the severity of her pain.
This time was different. An emergency room doctor
gave her a medicine that she called the Pink
Lady. My patient was told to drink this pink liquid and try not to have any
of the liquid linger in her mouth. This medication, or combination of
medications, seem to work quite quickly. For the first time in many years, my
patient had some relief. This relief only lasted a couple of days, but this was
enough to provide significant help. Over the next few weeks, my patients
suffered from her regular stomach pain, but the extreme unbearable stomach pain
did not return. This was truly a gift for her.
I think this
Pink Lady can involve different mixtures. Below is a link to a brief
description of the medicines that may be included.

Happy new year and stay tuned for more frequent
posts this year.
Yours with care - Michael
