Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wish I could recruit all of you having trouble with your Dr's who refuse to adress your disease treat it with whatever works. I have a awsome Dr's group and can't say enough of I wish they were avail for all of you with this problem. My Dr' is very understanding, believing, and treats with pain meds. But as far as being afraid, you are right, some Dr's because of the fair of getting into trouble because they are getting watched closer on reasons prescribed the RX of narcotic's because of the street users, sellers, abusers. My PCP told me this was happening, I was told a couple mo's ago that this was happening and the office was having everyone of there patient's who are on narcotics come in for a revail, and update med records to see if they really needed to continue with the narcotic they are on. The ones on stronger percocet etc. the office was going to have to start referring them out to the Pain Clinic for continued RX if they were to be long term which is where I may end up, the vicodin has started to stop working, I have been on and off of percocet, and because my condition has worsened so bad in the last yr. I was told some Fibro patient's, come to a time where they will have to use heavy narcotic's lifetime. This was not a happy thought for me, as I don't even like being connected to having to take med's to move daily now without pain. I also, have tried every homeopathic, self treatment, exercise, diet, lifestyle, PT, OT. accupuncture, pressure point, relaxation, meditation, pain Management, different then Pain Clinc= supervised narcotic pain meds. I now am running out of options, and looking at it as it has been now I see myself visiting the Pain Clinic, and attached to these med's to have relief. Some dr's and I believe they are getting fewer and fewer do belive will treat no matter what, but everyone of us with a long term illness needing pain control meds will most likely have to go out to the pain clinic doctors who are not bothered for prescribing these meds as this is there expertise Pain, and will treat those needing it, they to have you go through tests to accomadate what they are prescribing, Hope you are able to find the right help, and find the Dr. who will belive in your disease and symptoms like mine. My Rheumie also has no question of what we can go through. Take Care Sharon idisnotok wrote: same with me, only i just started asking for something for pain. i think the truth is the docs are getting audited more everytime they write a script for a controlled substance, so i really do feel and beleive that they are now not even bothering to acknowledge our symptoms nor are they making the proper diagnoses so they won't have to write scripts and treat us, looking at us like we are nuts. i have been close to writing a list of all my dxs, all my meds, and all my ongoing symptoms getting worse, handing a copy to my docs and asking them to sign my copy that they did receive the information from me. this would be evidence, in a court of law, of their ongoing negligence, if needed. hang in there, it is really hard, marg > > I'm new to this group and so far some of the things I'm readin from > other people I have experienced also.
