Welcome Sensitive Gal!   I've been a member here for years and you hit the nail on the head with regards to the donations being a small price to pay for an invaluable community.  The members and the information here are fantastic!  It took me a while to get a donation sent using Bitcoins but...

I have been working on this for over a week, but still have some questions.  Yikes, I feel like an idiot!  I downloaded Electrum and then purchased Bitcoins and finally today I was able to send over a donation but it did come up and say pending.  So I don't know what that's all about.  Does it...

Your doc sure had you on a high dose of pain meds.  After being on such a high dose I wouldn't think it would even be safe just to go cold turkey!  I agree with Poppyseed123 that your best bet is to make a donation so you can get access to the SY area.  If this Dr. had a fairly large practice...

I've been picking it up at the local office off and on for years!  That way I can get my hands on it sooner instead of waiting around all day.  :13_upside_down:

Wow, what a great topic!  Just when you think you've read just about everything something like this pops up.  Nothing irks me more than a newbie's first post is one asking where a certain drug can be found.  When I first started here I did so much reading I thought my eyeballs were going to pop...

My thoughts exactly!  There are so many preservatives etc. but no one sees a task force put together to ensure food safety!  

Unfortunately you're right about resistance going up!  I've found that the best thing to do is to not take them for 4-5 days (which is very hard to do).  Once they are out of your system when you start taking them again you will notice a huge difference in how they work.  I have done this...

All I have to say is.................GO PACK GO!!!

I'm going with Green Bay all the way!  Definitely not Seahawks!!

There are some good pain management doctors out there but, they are few and far between.  The majority of them love to push steroid injections and personally I don't see how steroids are any safer than pain medications.  Personally, I get terrible side effects from steroids.

I had an ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion) about 1 1/2 years ago and have been having a lot of pain issues in my neck, shoulders and upper back. When I went to pain management they suggested steroid injections which I had already tried before having the surgery done.  It helped...

Sorry for the late review but, better late than never! Sent donation 6/13/17 My friend Vic was at my door 6/19 Very good communication! Oh, one more thing.  My friend Vic is a good quality kind of guy!

I totally agree that it's virtually impossible to not run out of meds before it's time for a refill.  My PM doctor changed my script to 2 5mg oxys a day which is 60 a month.  Some days are worse than others so on those days I take more than 2.  The problem is if I tell them that 2 a day is not...

I didn't have a microdiscectomy however, I did an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion.  I was in such misery before the surgery that I felt anything was worth a try, so I went ahead with the surgery.  At first it helped immensely but within a couple of months the pain returned and actually...

You won't get in any trouble as long as you let the PM doctor know that you are receiving the prescription.  I see a PM doctor and he had me sign a contract that states that I have to let him know what all of the medications are that I receive from another doctor.  If I'm not up front with the...

I think you would be better off going to psych doctor for a stimulant.  I have never heard of a PM dr prescribing stimulants.

Just yesterday I had an appointment with my pain management doctor and she told me that approximately 10-15 years ago the government was telling doctors that they were under treating pain and now the government is telling doctors that pain is being over treated.  What bothers me the most is how...

You are going to have to follow what they want you do and if that is steroid injections then try that first.  If you don't jump thru their hoops they won't prescribe any pain meds.  I had neck surgery and had two disks in my neck replaced and I had to follow their protocol.

I've tried the Maybelline Super Stay, the only problem is it tends to dry out my lips.  Thanks for the response though!

I am a true lipstick addict and probably own about 25 different tubes.  The reason I have so many is because none of them tend to stay put so if anyone knows of a good really long wearing lipstick or lip stain please post about it!
