Re: Re: well meaning people who make us mad

You're lucky; Here in Missouri good luck finding a doctor that will prescribe you pain meds as you need them. It's a joke! And the doctor's are so paranoid about people drug seeking, that I'm afraid to even ask for something for the pain when I need it. So if anyone knows of a decent doctor is Missouri, preferably around St. Louis, I am open for suggestions. I get so tired of having to suffer with the pain. I did get to the point where I was hurting so badly that I finally asked for something. They gave it to me but man! The looks you get!!

> > I hardly ever mention the meds I take. I especially don't tell about my> pain and sleeping meds.Boy, I am with ya on this one! What's the point? Try telling people you have to take PAIN meds. oooweeee... get ready for lecture on addiction number 50,000! I know you can get hooked on some meds, but I have seen people return to work due to pain medication. And no one even knows they are taking it unless they tell!And for our wonderful snake oil vendors of the world.. how easy to sell some concoction that can cure all invisible diseases! I wish I had a nickel for every one that I have been forced on me over the years. We have your wonderful, stinky, HUGE mushroom that has to sit in your fridge like a creepy alien staring at you and then drink the tea it makes. Is that KM stuff still around? I had someone approach me with it back in the early 90's. Thick, black, ugly stuff that tasted like moldy licorice in a bottle that looked like an old milk bottle. Take a swig THREE TIMES a day and you will live to be 100! It tasted like tar off your roof on a hot summer Florida day. And the only remedial thing I noticed was it CLEANED you out..lolI guess that would make someone with ANY disease feel better! lolWe had the spirulina that was green, seaweed looking stuff that you mixed in milk and made the milk look like scummy pond water. But it would cure ya FO SHORE!!! (not.) And the magnets to go under your mattress.. about $300 if I remember correctly. The list goes on and on. I actually tried a few over the years when I still thought I could get better unconventually. ( How about ice water enemas in Mexico?) lolI now tell anyone who decides to start a new.. business.. to first show me a person getting up from a wheelchair or a leg growing back! That usually shuts them up!
