I am lucky as my husband is retired Military so with that & Medicare we have no co- pays. That is challenging because they add up. I took phentermine many times in the past. I guess there wasn't much I didn't try to lose the weight. I also have joint issues. I rally am fortunate to have...
I have lost 97 lbs & it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I spent a year researching any info I could. I wanted to be mentally ready because I didn't plan on failing. I was so ready to reclaim my body. I would do it again in a heart beat. Their are challenges with finding foods...
it is very real & you are not nuts. I personally think those of us that suffer from chronic pain are at higher risk because our nerve endings go crazy. When mine flares up I know it. My doctor says it is definitely real. I also have psoriasis also. I have it on my hands & have to get...
I am super lucky to live in a state that has good pain docs but mine is super good. I do wish he would switch me to the immediate 3o instead of time release 40. I don't even bother taking them as they don't work since the lap band. I've lost 95 lbs buy the way!! I'm trying to work that out with...
It's something that most people don't understand. For those that have severe anxiety it's like a drug to relieve the stress.No different than when we take meds to relieve ours. I've never had the problem but treated a lot of patients that did. All said it was their way of coping. A lot has to do...
I also suffer from fibro. There are times it flares up so bad I feel like I have the flu. All my muscles are tender to the touch. My pain meds help some but when it flares up it is very painful. Sorry anyone has to deal with this disease.
My pain doc had me on the morph ER & I hated it. The oxy ER worked well for me u till I had the lap band. He does also give me the 15 immediate release for breakthrough so I like them the best. He still gives me the 40 ox Er but I don't take them. He recently gave me a new list of meds to...
I worked as a psych nurse for 30 yrs & can tell you with my experience that bipolar disorder is about finding the right doctor & meds that work for you. First would be to get the proper diagnosis. Not every med works for everyone. It is a very difficult illness to treat without a good...
@xenxra:
@WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
@ontovzik:
When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
@ontovzik:
I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
@WTF7218:
@xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
@xenxra:
he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down

@Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
@Alkazar:
@NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
N@NYStateofMind:
I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
N@NYStateofMind:
@xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
@xenxra:
@NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
T@Testisthebest:
Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
N@NYStateofMind:
@Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
