How Often Do Doctors Know About Another Doctor Prescribing?

[sadminion]

I normally would be ok with the whole test and doctor to doctor dance.  Its just i been off my normal meds for sometime now and like you so much hurts and is so limited.  There are days i cannot get out of bed yet laying in bed on a pillow hurts too. i KNOW whatever is wrong is neurological.  Here lies there problem. The extensive tests they need to do my insurance will not cover and its a few thousand dollars at a time..

This country DOES not take care of its own....:/

​Agreed, God bless the USA... I know the whole, routine/song and dance.. can't lay down anymore yet getting up hurts just as much.. I know all my pain's mainly neurological, now I'm gettin some kinda skin condition, on my face no less.. It's just like.. WHAT NEXT?? Cuz I can deal w/ quite a bit.. but when it gets to be 10+ very heavy kinda problems($, health, family.. ect) whew.. won't sleep tonight. I have no clue what to do, I double dosed, still pain is ridiculous so nothings gonna help at this point. I'ma fire up and hope it helps even if just a lil.. wow I really thought jumping up to 8 would help.. instead I just wasted em.. bout to get into every one I got.. .

Awww ac im so sorry.  sound duplicate of me with pain and frustration. I have  not jumped up so high on the meds, thought when in pain management they gave me the dose they gave end stage cancer patients.  I just cannot afford to get it from our (friends).  I buy to use on the days I seriously just want to die...I use over the counter meds which is more psychological then anything, in my mind hey im taking more ya know. Its so infuriating, because they can so easily find out what is going on if they just do the tests they know they should do.  Once they would do thAT they can treat the underlying cause instead of us abusing any medications to just not jump off a roof in pain. 

I feel for you, so much I really do hun.  I take the smallest dose im able too, because i cannot afford to get more from the vends. I take only once a day and i really try not even to do that.  In my mind if i can take it least one a day, its a small wall not letting my pain go around and around and around, building up each time it circles.  This puts a tiny wall keeping the pain at what its at , tying not to let it go more or higher.  Never taking the pain away because its just not strong enough or enough meds to do it.   However, I do feel a tiny relief that we do have some sort of choice because of this site.  Before I was considering the worst. I had NOTHING for my pain and it was getting beyond unberable.  Hadnt been out of bed in months. Was in my wheel chair.  Couldnt walk at all.  Then at night my mucles couldn take it any longer, they would do this (seizure) dance thing.  It wasnt a seizure like most people think but it sure could fool anyone. Since finding this place, that has gone down significantly.   Find people who get it really helps mentally too.  Not that I want anyone else to go through this.  Its just when you talk about it people get tired of hearing it when they just dont get it. 

I hope you are feeling a bit better today my friend....I feel a kinship with you and several others here, /default_smile.png

In the states the doctors, pharmacies, and whoever else (not to sound paranoid, but somebody’s brother, that is large in stature)  are all linked up now with a system that lets each other know anything and everything about your meds, who is prescribing, when and how much you get. ect. I only know this because (one of) my doctors lol, called me out in a office visit for having a open script of alprazolam from him, and 2 other doctors. I don't know how I didn't end up in jail when they all found out but it basically resulted in me being put on a list somewhere in the sky and now doctors will not even think about giving me anything stringer than motrin for pain and hydroxizine for anxiety and believe me, it sucks cause now - with 2 herniated disks and severe PTSD when I actually need the meds the ghosts of my past are still following me. i've even tried switching to a doctor in a different city to no avail.

It truly stinks to high heaven that drs wont rx anything at all for pain any more, least of all ohio. My dr didnt even want to give me antibiotics for my cellulitis and uti, which after testing was proof I had it, geesh, She says ' i dont want to get into trubble for rx you that med this often,' huh? Am I wrong here? She finally after some coaxing, wrote it. And btw, is there anyone here who has any idea of how to get a bs note from a pd that is now on my records and it says im a drug seeker and broke my contract ( never asked for increase in 15 years and btw, dr broke contract when he said seeya! That was after my one and only 'panic' attact which rose my bp so bad was sent to er and when went back to see pd, he said come back 2moro,which I did and he then told me uh bye and good luck! Just wanted to know if anyone here has ever had some issue with false comment on records and if ya knew how to go about getting it the freak off!? Ive got trigeminal neuralgia, RA< OA<Lupus, cellulitis,peripheal neuropathy,ostoporosis, been to shrink after this too, she told me to get out and come back when I have problem, so Im NOt the things ive been accused of. Im at my wits end and it feels better to get it out to someone. Most days I just deal with my pains, but, SOME days grr! Any ideas. It seems like Im stuck in hell, and I didnt do anything wrong. Sorry for venting Benn thru the hoops so many times did the 'right' thing always and what do I(we) all get? No respect lol! Take care all, and again sorry for long post, didnt mean to write a book.

That's OK @rosealso, sometimes it feels good to get it off your chest. I wish I had some helpful advice on cleaning up your record, but don't have any experience with that. Just wanted to say that you are here for the same reason as many of us. What wouldn't we all give for a doc that would give us what we need?

@rosealso, I can only imagine the pain you must be going through, not just physically, but with all that BS red tape. I have some ideas i can present to you, but i would like to talk with some experts beyond my scope of going about your situation before i come back and give you what i find to be the best route for you at this point. My best friend and business partner has a family of 6 MD's were going to dinner with Thursday, who are all as close as family to me.. i can only speak out to and ask them about, who will be straightforward with me, your situation and get an honest answer regarding the best bet to get you some help with your situation..

I'll do the read back myself, but i need to know what state your in as it may matter, i believe you stated it as i was speed reading through the thread posts. Who knows, hopefully i can actually shine some sun down on your shitty situation. I'll do everything i can to get you some information or steer you in a way in which your quality of life can be significantly improved. Promise to do anything in my power, whether i find info i receive can be of help or not. Either way, i have some ideas, but want to talk to some other people before blindly throwing out ways that i can't guarantee will help you unless i get nowhere and it comes down to it. I truly am sorry for what you have to deal with, that's BS. /default_sad.png
