Bad Mistake

[Guest guest]

I have been on my doctor's case to get me into a pain clinic. Well I am out of

medications, except the Fentanyl. He won't give me any more medications for

break through pain. He said I had an appointment and cancelled it. NO!!! I did

not. Why would I cancel that?

So I am on the phone waiting forever until someone answers. I feel so alone.

Hi Skye

Have you been able to make an appointment? If not, call every morning to see if

there has been a cancellation.

Sometimes doctors reserve a extra time each day if there are emergencies etc.

Have you asked if you may increase the Fentanyl? Please don't do it without

making sure it's okay, you don't want to run out of it too.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. My doctor was very sick recently, and

they were in between hiring a nurse practitioner, so there was no one to refill

my two narcotics.

The doctor my husband works with was kind enough to go to the pharmacy and use

one of their generic prescription pads to write 10 enough for 10 days.

He doesn't have a private practice any longer. My husband works at the federal

military entrance processing service, where applicants for the military are

examined.

I feel for you.
