HI everyone ~ I wanted to introduce myself & thank you, as I've already gained a much needed sense of relief that I am not alone, in reading many of your posts. Was a regular on Pharmacy Watchers yrs ago, came to find it gone...So grateful to you all for being here, (nice to see some familiar names /default_smile.png)! A bit about me: I have degenerative disc disease, widespread chronic pain, chronic migraines, anxiety/panic disorder & fibromyalgia. Was paying $800 mo insurance but had to drop ins. all together when they bumped it up to $1700 mo. when I tested positive for hi levels of lead, mercury & asbestos after I was at the base of S. WTC Tower on 9/11 during & after the plane hit, as well as, breathing the toxic air for a month before I moved back to CA. I recently moved to Hawaii (the Big Island). After seeing 6 different Dr's, 2 claimed to be "Pain Mngmnt Dr's" (NOT!, but are the only 2 on the island), all would not prescribe even 1 of the meds I've been taking in minimal doses to live a semi-active life as comfortably as possible (hydro,fioricet,flexeril,valium, zolpidem). 1 thing these Dr's had in common was their insistence my smoking caused all my pain & I had to quit. Pffft! Nothing like raising the anxiety & frustration levels even higher at the hands of these so-called "professionals".
Sorry for the novel ~ again, many thanx to all /default_cool.png
