just when I didnt think it could get any worse

I had my first appt with my new dr today. My blood pressure was slightly elevated. (around 135/98). I actually did not see the dr though. Just a nurse practitioner. She told me she could do everything the dr does but prescribe narcotics. OK so thats fine this was just to get everythibng switched over and take a medical history...or so I thought. She checked my medications and said she is upping the dosage on my BP medication and she was not going to renew my migraine medication. She said until my blood pressure is under control I should not be taking any migraine medication. I get anywhere from 1 to 3 migraines a month some months and then some months I wont have any. So that should not be a big deal except I have only one migraine pill left and no refills. So I asked her what I was supposed to do if I have a migraine but have no medication because she wont write me a prescription for it she said she does not know but she cannot be liable for knowingly writing a prescription for something which increases my blood pressure when I have high blood pressure. I asked her about dealing with the pain in my neck also and she said they would have to refer me to a pain management place because they dont deal with that kind of thing. Ive been referred already but because it is from a car accident and my car insurance is maxed out medicaid wont touch it until the lawsuit is resolved and none of the dr's will take a letter of protection from our lawyer because it is in litigation right now (meaning a lawsuit has already been filed). So basically what they tell me is to either deal with the pain or figure out a way to pay out of pocket for this. My hsuband has not worked in 18 months so we are barely making it by as it is. We cannot afford an extra couple hundred dollars for me to go see another dr. So I guess like before seeing this dr Ill just live with it. I can tell you this though when this lawsuit is over even if they got me a million dollars (which is defenitely not what they are suing for. I think the lawyer sued for 30,000 dollars) I would give it all back to not have to live the way I have been for the last 18 months.
