Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 I have a bunch of stuff too. I take Vicodin and other meds. My Rheumy will only give me meds for the fibro, lupus, arthritis, and osteoporosis. He said he wants the internist to handle the pain meds and other meds for other stuff I have. I think most Rheumy’s prescribe pain meds though. From: Dolphinlove4u@... Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 10:12 PM To: LUPIES Subject: ( LUPIES) HELLO TO ALL , I HAVE A QUESTION PLEASE ?

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 A LOT of doctors REFUSE to prescribe pain meds anymore...I have no idea except for a lot of people WITHOUT daily pain abuse it so we all have to pay the price...just like medicial " weed " (I HATE smoking so I don't do it but my old doctor said for me to pay it on the street instead of going the prescription route because there's more THC in the street varity). I would go to another doctor that WILL help with your everyday pain. A LOT of doctors don't understand that this pain is NOT in our heads...IT IS REAL.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I am so glad that we live here in Arizona. Everyone that I know here with lupus and or fibro are getting pain meds. I do NOT see how you guys manage without them let alone hold down jobs. You are a great deal tougher than I will ever be. a I’m sorry things are so horrible Shirley. Where do you live in the desert? I lived in Palmdale for 9 years, HATED IT! Dr’s are afraid to prescribe pain meds now because there is a Govt. crackdown on overdosing abusers. It is stupid and cruel in my opinion. My Rheumy won’t prescribe them and tells me to get them from my internist. Of course I have to pay her when I go, that way they all get to make money off of me.
