Re: My meeting with the pain clinic 8(//Marti

[Guest guest]

Marti,

I had a few 'scripts like that as well and what my pharmacy told me

to do was have the dr rewrite the 'script so that they COULD refill

it like that. They have never treated me like a dope fiend looking

for my next fix at all (thankfully!), but I have had other folks

treat me like one! So too bad for them, I will take what I have to

have and phoey on them.

I just wish that we all could find doctors and pharmacists who

believed us and believed in us; unfortunately, I think too many of

them have been burned by folks who aren't honest and all that jazz.

So we get to pay the price.....sigh....
