While I wait for Coinbase to verify my account I thought I’d see if anyone here has thoughts regarding my f2f issue with pain clinic.  First off I’ve had chronic pain due to recurring pain after cervical fusion nearly 20 years ago and had been prescribed strong pain meds including fentanyl patch and oral oxy 15 mg 6x a day.  In Spring of 2018 new doc I saw in Oregon cut me off patches (cold turkey) and decreased Oxy’s to 4 a day.  After so many years on such high doses of opioids looking back I’m glad she did that because I agree I was on much more than necessary.  In September of 2018 I moved to another state and into a new pain clinic and after a number of months was asked by PA to go in for 6 weeks Physical Therapy so Medicare would pay for a new MRI.  Due to me being the only person able to work and having just started a new job I wasn’t able to do PT at that time as my schedule was on day to day basis so no idea what my hours would be.  Pain Doc stated  until I was able to complete PT and get MRI he could no longer prescribe pain meds. Fair enough and at that time June 2019 I was only taking meds extremely sparingly so had quite a few squirreled away.  Fast forward to September and I was having extreme pain flare ups to the point of being in near constant pain.  I went in and saw my GP (didn’t ask for pain meds) but felt it was time to try PT and get MRI.  After completing PT and getting new MRI was now diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease and referred back to Pain Clinic and to see Neurosurgeon.  Called to get into Pain doc but was over month before he could get me in, 2 months for Neuro (argh)!  So at that point I’m in serious pain and ask GP for something until I see pain doc.  She prescribes 30 days of Tramadol to get me by (better than ibuprofen I guess).  So I see Pain Doc who now then says I violated contract because I got Tramadol from GP (oh my goodness) I say there was nothing else I could due but suffer a whole extra month (what the frick).  He also says they will get me in for an injection but must get prior authorization then will discuss pain meds. I wait a month and hear nothing, call leaving messages twice, no call back.  Then my insurance is cancelled since I make too much money fair enough but Pain Clinic NEVER tried to get authorization!!!  By now it’s January and I’m still miserable, have no insurance, call Pain Clinic to get in and talk to PA and ask what can I do now.  Guess what he won’t even see me until I have injection and had them cancel my appointment!  I ask why and she says cuz I got Tramadol from GP.  I was livid and asked why someone didn’t call me back about injections or try and get authorization, she says I’m sorry I don’t know what happened....

After going through all this I’m disgusted with them and don’t know what to do.  I’ve always prided myself on being told what a great patient I am never asking for early fills and always letting other Doctor know exactly what meds I’m on..  Now I’m even afraid to see my GP......

 
I'm so sorry you are going through all this. It sounds typical of today's environment. That's part of the reason so many are here. I don't have any recommendations for you but wish you the best of luck. 

 
@TmD1968 I'm just reading your post & curious what ever happened with your situation?  What a sad story & such a shitty thing their doing to you.  One thing I have learned over time is to keep moving forward & you will find a Dr. with empathy & compassion who will be able to pull his/her head out of her ass & give you the help you deserve!

  2. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  3. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  4. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  8. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  9. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  10. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  11. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  12. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  14. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  15. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  17. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  18. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  19. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  20. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
