Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 This tone used by Ron and others here needs to be gone for > they are in the very same boat...all the best...cherie Sorry never been in this boat that you are referring to, I keep my meds out of reach of others and don't broadcast to those around me as to what I'm taking. This tone you speak of is just the the way it is, you lose or misplace these types of meds and ask for more your an addict as far as the docs are concerned. Come on really, who loses or gets ripped off 3 times like that and then goes to different doctors for replacement meds? Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I understand what you are trying to say here, I just don't see the need to sugar coat it. She really does need to worry about what she has done even if all of what she says is true. I'm not trying to say I'm a better person either. I have to get my meds from the county hospital and see what goes on all the time there. Its not a pretty sight, I go there every 3-4 months and see them call the police/security on people on almost every visit. I usually have to go without my meds for about 30 days between visits unless I stretch them out because they always short me a refill between appointments.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Cherie, A personal " Thank You " note to you and the others sharing compassion... Your words mean so much to me - brings to me the true meaning of our (and I say ours) Hugs-N-Pain- because we are all in this together, not to make others feel bad, but instead to give hugs (Big Hugs) and understanding to all who visit. We all have our stories to tell, in confindence and not to be judged. That is why I came here. I have been able to work out some of the stress caused by others and decided to continue with my support system here. It seems that most are really sincere and can relate to a variety of situations caused by pain mangement. I do take heed of others advice and warnings and that is another important aspect that as " pain living people " we do endure from many angles... To Ron, phrases like " my dog ate my homework " can be taken as sarcastic and judgmental - my question is what makes you different? Why are you excluded from crime, theft and deceit and left feeling helpless due to circumstances beyond your control. If you can answer that, I will be glad to follow you, becuase this is not a game, this is not a joke, this is not a place to spew lies -- this is a place to tell your story (believe it or not).... I just spoke with a good friend who has been living in pain for many years, and like me was resistant to medication - now she is so happy she doesn't have to scare her kids because she can't walk, she can do her chores and her job without being completely overwhelmed with pain. She, like me at first resisted med's, and I have told her that even the strong can be suseptable to toleratance (not addiction) she is doing much better and happier than has been in 10 years. Please understand that no one wishes to become tolerant to pain med's but when they need them to regain some sort of quality of life, let us not discount the fact that in the future she may be enduring some of the concerns we share here today. That's all for now (enough right..?)

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have had some trouble with doctors and meds in the past couple years since I started taking pain meds. I am sure glad I live in a rural area where doctors and us all know one another. As for losing meds, I've dropped them down the dishwasher, dumped them down the sink trying to get those d%$#@! childproof lids off. I've even left them in my cloths so the wife could wash them. We are talking about pain tablets here not plutonium 238 or some such thing. Every one is suspect as well as suspicious simply because of the times we live in. I get more upset over the cost, but yes, I do get resentful when I feel uncomfortable refilling my own prescription. I wonder if the doctors, nurses or pharmacists give it a thought while sipping that tall cool 3d dirty martini at happy hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
