PS to my Post about Problems with Morphine Based Meds

[Guest guest]

I forgot to tell you all that my Pain Management Doctor accused me of getting

" euphoric " with my meds when I requested to change from 5 10/500 Hydrocodone

pills to 7 Norco generic pills as I have to take 2 at a time to help the pain.

I wanted to do this because the Norco has less Tylenol in it. He also keeps

telling me that he has never had a patient have such a bad time with all the

medications he's tried on me. I would love to change doctors, but am on a PPO

Medicare Advantage Plan and there are no other Pain Management people in my

area. It would be a 1/2 hour or more drive each way to go to someone else.

Driving is very hard for me because of the pain and meds.

What do you think? How can I convince him that I'm not getting high? I really

don't experience any type of euphoria with the drugs I've been prescribed. Just

some pain relief for a short while.

You know..... I used to drive two hours to see my pain management doctor and I

did it in excruciating pain just because I could not deal with the jerks in my

area! It took 6 pain management Doctors to find this wonderful Doc that I have

now, my advice to you, do the drive! You will be happier and your pain will be

controlled better, is worth it!
