RE: CHAINED Re:Please tell me what you think

[Guest guest]

I have the same problem at the ER even though they know how close I came to

death last year and how the hospital sent me home with a blood clot in my

leg and a wound that had MRSA. Yeah, you gotta love those ER docs. mostly

useless.

Better be carefull on that also to those thinking won't take med's even

though in pain, as there are times and it is happening more and more, again

mostly because of the street users abusing buying and selling, but Dr.

because they are being clamped down on over prescribing, which really isn't

but is by the BIG GUYS,probably using them themselves, but anyway physicians

are doing bloodwork and will check to see where your pain med level is at in

your system, so for all that think they have to be carefull they took one or

two pills more than prescribed a mo. you also have to be carefull of under

taking them as it may cause you to get D/C'd off of them, as they believe

well you aren't using them so can't really need them!, We are caught in a

ugly situation all around because of mostly the pills being pushed on the

streets... I was just told by my doctors office who I am lucky ot have and

make the now 3 hr trip q 3 mo's as they not only understand me, know me and

not just on

the surface, they treat for the disease, pain, and have great bedside

manner! But they had to tell me that even though I was originaly prescribed

my prilosec20 mg 4x a day, because my insurance has changed again I can only

get it covered by dropping it down to x2 a day, I agreed as I need it and

have been out, they hung up again saying until I can get it cleared by

insurance again for the x4 they want to make sure I Do not take anymore then

the 2 and have to follow bottle as I say this is really getting strict, and

it is not MY DR directly doing this, Sharon

was in excruciating pain that way when the doctor would ask if that's what I

wanted I could say " No I still have some left over from my last

prescription. "

Thank goodness my PCP is not this way. She is a wonderful woman who spends

as much time as needed with me when I go see her. I've even been in her

office for an hour trying to figure things out. She knows FMS is not in

anyone's head.

Hope this helps.
