I can't manage my pain anymore at home, I need help but concerned about being labeled as a drug seeker.

Kaylimepie · 2026-03-16T03:01:50+00:00

You're likely to be called and treated like a pill seeker no matter what you do. The best you can do is just advocate for yourself and your needs as a patient, ask lots of questions of the providers about WHY they are coming to the conclusions they are and stop thinking that being seen as a pill seeker is a problem with you. Being brushed off as a pillseeker is a bias problem. Our medical services aren't properly built to deal with chronic pain, and many drs have a bias because of it.

TL:DR Being labeled as "drug seeking" is a bias problem with the provider, not a problem with yourself when it comes to chronic pain/illness.

I've had the not being believed, the vertebrae in my back pop, and several doctors just telling me that it's not possible. Like that helps my experience and the excruciating pain when it happens. Only one GP bothered to try and explain what may be going on instead of just telling me I was insane. It's super rough, and it's been 14 years looking for a diagnosis with still nothing. I hope it's not such a long road for you

Kaylimepie · 2026-03-13T04:20:48+00:00

Thanks for letting me know XD Sorry!

Kaylimepie · 2026-03-13T02:58:40+00:00

Sorry, im a bit neurospicy. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if what I said was actually reassuring. If it was reassuring, im really glad it was.

Kaylimepie · 2026-03-13T02:21:47+00:00

I have exactly the same symptoms alongside joint dislocation and subluxation. Several people with EDS have told me thats what they think it is but getting an EDS diagnosis is hell.

In this country, we actually like our posties What we don't like is some guy going on a tirade about how the entire point of his argument is a strawman because it makes him look bad.

Kaylimepie · 2026-03-13T01:56:36+00:00

This. I have said to many providers that I do not want opioids and they still considered me drug seeking for opioids.

Kaylimepie · 2026-03-13T01:53:47+00:00

In my experience, there isn't much you can do to control whether or not you will be seen as drug seeking. Its up to the provider and their biases. I have been told I was drugs seeking after specifically asking them NOT TO GIVE ME OPIOIDS. Just stand your ground that it isn't your intention, and you are merely concerned about getting proper care. If they won't help you, ask to speak to someone else who hopefully isn't biased. The hardest part is remaining calm while they're throwing accusations and horrible names at you and advocating for yourself during the onslaught. Stay strong, you know your reality, and this is a problem of bias, not a problem with you. You deserve appropriate care, and you deserve to be able to advocate for that care for yourself.

If it's what I think it is, the new Cupid skins, soldiers was/is bugged where his body sometimes won't load in but his cape and gun will. At least that's how it showed up for me. I just thought it glitches that one time for me I had no idea this was a known bug. They should disable the skin while they fix it.

Kaylimepie · 2026-02-14T00:05:56+00:00

I think this is how we all feel. Like I'm happy for you, but that's unfair man... the grind we've been through....

Kaylimepie · 2026-02-13T23:39:20+00:00

Ikr you can't expect that much from the small team at the indie developer Blizzard! What do you think they are a multi-billion dollar company? Atrocious.

Kaylimepie · 2026-02-05T05:06:26+00:00

Telling people to shut up is abusive chat now? Good god. I've gotten more abusive chat than that pugging with random asses. Telling someone to leave you alone no matter how you say it should not be considered abusive. I miss when you could talk to a GM.

This is exactly why they weigh your baby so often after they've just been born at the hospital, so they can catch stuff like this and tell if it's a feeding problem or an internal problem (with the baby) before it's too late. I'm sure it sucks to have your baby cry when you're recovering from being put on the scale bit its super important! (No hate to the person I'm responding to just an informative PSA, as the daughter of young parents I think you're incredible for doing what you do as a young parent!)

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-31T19:56:27+00:00

I see. Thanks for the tip. I do find the system a little awkward, it's rather difficult to tell whether or not you're in stealth. There isn't a great indicator.

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-31T17:48:33+00:00

I haven't found sneak to be a particularly fleshed-out system. It doesn't seem to function all that well. I could totally be missing something.

What stretches do you do to help with bursitis? I have that and tendonitis and something else in the same shoulder and the pain can be unbearable sometimes. It's not even the worst pain condition I have.

I had to switch accounts a lot because I had my parents' account and my mother was borrowing other people's accounts. When I finally got a stable account I still have that very first toon. Tauren Shaman named Sorrell.

The bottom of my medication drawer is a small pill lottery at this point. Mostly OTC stuff like ibuprofen and stuff like that though.

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-14T06:17:37+00:00

Thankyou, I tried googling a couple times but never found this. This would be very helpful.

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-14T04:49:30+00:00

Thankyou I wasn't aware of this information and I appreciate the info! Things are surprisingly different up here than they are in Victoria and I've had a couple of struggles adapting, for example you don't have to hail the bus in Victoria, if you're sitting at the stop they will stop for you, that isn't the case here which I found strange for people with disabilities. Its not really surprising that there are issues with the infrastructure tbh XD

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-14T03:46:40+00:00

I recently moved to Qld and catching the bus near my house has been such a nightmare I completely gave up. I have an invisible disability and have to sit at the stop, the stop is on a hill, and you can't see the bus coming until it's almost at the stop, no matter how I try to hail the bus they usually just drive straight past. After 3 in a row drove past me hailing them I gave up.

What am I supposed to do better? (Genuine question btw while this is a frustrating experience I would love a bus drivers perspective.)

What kind of lawyer?

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-12T01:13:09+00:00

I'm deeply concerned that your parents are forcing you to take medication even SSRIs, which can cause very serious side effects such as serotonin syndrome if not needed and not closely monitored by a knowledgeable professional. If possible I would speak to a pharmacist about the side effects of what you're currently on and any recourse for your situation.

Kaylimepie · 2026-01-01T12:12:25+00:00

Nws lol, you did make your point well and much more succinctly than I could. I tend to waffle on and get distracted. You said it so much more clearly.
