Drug Woes

So, I had a horrible reaction to the Nasonex. Upon looking at the side effects, sure enough, I saw that it matched my reaction- throat irritation and runny nose being an example. He also said that allergic reactions to Nasonex were not possible since it's just chemicals. What? One- yes it is; two- the pamphlet which came with this spray said that if you're allergic to the ingredients, tell your doctor. 

Meloxicam gave me canker sores. The doctor said it was a coincidence and those weren't the side effects for that drug. I looked it up. Canker sores were included in them. He told me to try again. I did try again. I got canker sores. Now I've been getting them a lot more often even after stopping to take it. I noticed that after stopping Meloxicam, my pain got worse when I wasn't taking it. And it remained that way. 

Now I got prescribed two more meds. I'm sure you can see why I'm reluctantant to take them. So far, anything that doctor said didn't make sense. He also said that all my symptoms are either from fibrmyalgia and the rest are from anxiety. I told him a lot of them were probably from allergies and he rolled his eyes.

Today I told him my list of allergies. He asked me how I knew I was allergic and I told him about the skin prick test. He scoffed at it. 
Um, ok?

I have to take Tramadol for a week, and then start Lyrica. 

I read that it is not advisable to take Tramadol if you have an addictive personality or if you were ever suicidal. The doctor never mentioned that. 

Also, these medications aren't safe if you plan on getting pregnant soon. I'm getting married in 2 months and plan on getting pregnant around that time. Another reason taking these meds is not a good idea. 

This doctor doesn't believe in allergies, apparently. I wonder if he believes in pregnancy.
