Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 dear kimber, thanks for the advice. its hard to see the responces to my posts? i wish elavil worked. i need to find a compasionate dr. i saw one who said he deals with opiates. ive seen him three times and he is asking me for too much info. i have some embarrasing things and dont want him reading everything. he hasnt given me anything but accupuncture that really hurts my feet. ive been getting bad cramps and cant deal. i saw my g.i. dr who gave me 20 2mg diludid. it takes alot of pain meds to get rid of neuropothy pain. i can barely type as my arm has pain shooting up it. the pancreatitis is enough but now ive got to deal with my neuropothy and pancreatitis. my dr. told me i could get a pain pump but i know nothing about it. anyway sorry to complain. take care, fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Heidi, Gosh I wish we didn't have to feel this way with doctors all the name of controlling our pain. I hope all goes well for you when you see him. I used to have my darvocet where I had 5 refills at a time with no waiting period for a new refill. It isn't working that way anymore. I now have to have the RX called in every month and approved. And can I say that my pain has been fairly well controlled in these last months without much use of narcotics that I didn't have to call for a rx of darvocet in about 3 months. I'd say that was good! So go figure these new rules suddenly. Same goes for all my other narcotic rx as well. Everything must be approved and called in every month. I can't imagine what he would do if I asked for (and truly needed... which I don't as of yet) the patch you are on as he told me the strongest pain medication out there that can be prescribe is the percocet 5's that I have. Isn't that a joke!!! He told me that if my pain was worse than the percocet could handle and I didn't wanna go to the ER, that I needed to just " suck up the pain " . I truly don't think he knows that I know differently. Or am I wrong and is it different for a D.O. MD in prescribing than it is for a just a MD?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi Thease doctors are really thinking we are taking so many meds just for the heck of it excuse me. But they have no idea what PC feels like. we do. we live the thing every day. Makes me so sick. I would like to be normal, walking around. dare to think my pain management dr ever had a case of CP. WoW What the Earth would fall. He would have all the meds he needed. we are damaged people. we need the drugs becase we are very ill. But it's all about the drugs just how much they can give or thier liceness is or could be taken. I somtime think it would be better if they gave us too much then it would be done, and one less pain to deal with. less money in ther pocket for sure, sorry I guess I was venting. hope I didn't hurt anyones feelings. I guess we keep trucking from here. See ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
