Do everything you can to relieve pain from chronic illnesses
When we go to a doctor, we expect him to know everything. However, this is not the case.
Additionally, chronic illnesses require treatment very differently than acute illnesses, and there are many questions that medical professionals may have about creating an appropriate treatment plan for a patient.
Therefore, treatment plans for chronically ill patients are very different from those of a patient who comes to the doctor with an acute illness. Most doctors find it difficult to determine what to do when a patient has chronic symptoms that keep coming back.
One of the main complaints among chronically ill patients is that they experience persistent pain and discomfort. Some don't sleep well and feel very tired and can't carry on like they did about a year ago.
But there are other nuances of discomfort for every chronically ill patient. It really doesn't matter what the condition is, it seems that doctors can only prescribe medication that they believe will help. However, there are times when the medication does not do much for the patient. In these times, we must resist blaming our doctor for not having a handle on all available treatment options.
Given the ubiquity of chronic diseases and our aging population, more and more physicians are looking for non-medical ways to help the patient manage pain and discomfort, such as physical therapy, massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, and other herbal methods in dealing with pain and mild pain.
And patients usually have positive results with these non-medical treatment options. They find ways to self-manage their pain, discomfort and fatigue in ways that a pill cannot.
In addition, the patient will discover new ways to get their illness under control. And as more chronic sufferers learn to look for new ways of thinking about their illness, there is hope that something will ease the pain and fatigue, at least for a while. Additionally, chronically ill individuals are less likely to visit their primary care provider to constantly complain about pain and discomfort.
If a patient continues to look for new ways to manage their pain and discomfort, they will ultimately improve their life. Therefore, they feel less hopeful and out of control. And that's a win-win situation for everyone.
