Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Francis, I was just wondering if you lived near me and have any insurance other than Secure Horizons I could recommend a good place to go for Doctors that would give you Pain Medications. I used to use the Osteopathic Medical Center in Fort Worth, but then they dropped my Insurance co. By the way I live in Arlington, not Fort Worth, Arlington is between Dallas and Ft. Worth. It really bothers me that you can't get a doctor to prescribe pain medication for you. Have you called your insurance co. to ask for a different Doctor? I just changed my PCP because my doctor's nurse took so long to call in Prescriptions for me. I have not seen my new PCP yet, I have an appt. with him on Sept.7th......however I am confident that he will prescribe what I need because he is a D.O.......they always seem to have a better way of Doctoring than the M.D. doctors.....all my doctors used to be Doctors of Osteopathy docs- meds - addictions I told you about the breakdown at work. what i didnt say is they but me in a hospital for alcoholics. they thought i was addicted to something well as confused as i was i was willing to fess up to being addicted to fleet. oh man did those drunks look at each other funny i can laugh now but before 10 years ago i was crying. anyway now i need a pain management doc and my psych is saying they are pill pushers well yeah thats pretty much what i need no vicodin it wont work ,he is still treating me like an addict.problem wasnt addiction to begin with problem was i was sick with lupus and nobody knew it.i am getting thru the pain with sleep 1 hr at a time day in day out. i am not sure but i think he treats mostly addicts. mine is major depression guess i will go in there next month and explain to him me all over again and lupus all over again . gee i really hope i get the test results today;. i just want to breathe without feeling like i have a ton of bricks on my chest it hurts. i cant sleep more than a hour without waking up.lilupielu"The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
