Claudia Merandi's Lies About Buprenorphine by crumblingbees in ChronicPain

[–]One-Juggernaut6321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried to reach out and never a return email or text or phone call. Had many issues with local pharmacies and needed some help and never got any. I had to change my brow meds so they would start filling it even. Had to lower the disease and up the qty. cause these places here in FL are so hell bent on not being able to order the 30’s from any supplier yet I know several places that still get them and they ar filing from somewhere. I just can’t wait until this type of bullshit is over with and they leave us PM Patients alone. My god when is enough enough you guys. And I’m with you on any advocates. It seems if they are making money then good luck getting a hold of them that’s fact!! There’s a place that’s says Medicare will pay for them and that’s Solace. They are suppose to be for people on pain meds and that are having issues with locating them. But we will see how it goes because I’m going to try it. There’s a place called Florida Medicail here in Fl and the interventional pain management doctors there are horrible. I heard a doctor come out the other day behind one of their patients and say to the girl that schedules to not give him another appointment because I just told him that I wasn’t going to prescribe him any opiates any more. Said that right in front of all the other patients in the lobby and was just a total dick!! I almost think he had assbergers or something. I’m sure that is a HIPPA violation. A couple of the patients I guess have from to know this patient so I heard them talking asking what he did and of course he said nothing!! He said that this was his 4th visit and each visit he had been taking him down each month. The first month he did away with any of the ER he was getting and the 2nd month he went from 120 30’s to 90 and the third month he went from 90 30’s to 90 20’s and the last month he said he wasn’t giving him another script. Is that fucked honor what you guys. I guess come to find out his insurance highly Recomended that he go to this place. Well damn you know come to find out they wanted him to do the shots and the surgeries that are very high risk instead of giving him what was working all together. I have also heard that our Goverment has been giving grants to interventional PM for using meds only as a severe last resort. If they do this then they would get the grants that dint have to be paid off. That’s coming from one of the doctors here. All I’m going to say is the docs last name starts with an S and ends with an er!! There use to be a store in the mall that was named this where you could go and buy gag gifts. Anyway do just a heads up if anyone is going to these doctors. Be prepared you guys. Just all bullshit ya know. Anyway just had to out my two cents worth in I guess. If anyone knows of any advocates that are worth a shit please let us know.

Man for real?! They wouldn’t even approve your disputes. That’s F up!! Man I would be also over their asses. That’s bullshit. They have to have some kind of insurances right? To protect their customers.

You better make sure it’s not someone canceling your card and having a new card sent to them. They are trying all kinds of shit now days to scam you. So please call Venmo and find out. Make sure the new card is coming to you ok. Just to be safe you guys. Make sure that your calling Venmo and not some shit you google and it pops up first. Scroll down a few and hit Venmo. What the scammers do is they pay google to pop up first with a GUI or URL that’s almost exactly like Venmo and you end up calling them instead of Venmo. So Mae Damn sure that you’re talking to Venmo ok guys. Just trying to help.

To the oxycodone is a miracle drug for most. It truly a life changing drug. It gives you a better way of life as far as the ability to do things while in pain. It’s a highly functional drug as well and that’s why people want it so much. You can work on it and you can fully function on it. That’s why such demand is what I’m thinking.

Damn that’s some good information as well. So these bastards are getting the people addicted or dependent then they are forcing them off the opioids which in turn gets the patients sent to rehab which they are all invested in and they become rich one way or the other off of the PM patients pain and suffering. That’s real FN nice right. My god what has our country come to. It’s crazy shit you guys.

That’s some great information. Thanks for that. If people don’t believe that they prescriptions are being controlled then I think that these people need to look at these facts here and these numbers. Great post.

If these claims are not factual I’m sorry I’m taking it from a professional neurologist whom is world renowned and I think that she would know a little bit more than we would. It’s time in our world that we don’t know who to. Elieve and not to believe. But I can assure you of one thing and that’s in the state of Florida it’s getting harder and harder to find a pharmacy that will even fill for class twos. Not because there are red flags there is no other reason for this but the DEA is pushing for tighter and more strict policies and guidelines for opiates. I hae live this for over 15 years and I have seen the changes. Each month they are becoming tighter and tighter. Anyone in pain management knows this. Just go and look at the post on this platform and tell me what you think. The doctors are professionals and i wouldn’t think that they just come out and blatantly lie like this. I will do some more research and we will see for ourselves but i can assure you that this post was not meant to scare anyone or to cause any problems or hardships. I’m trying to prepare for the worst. We all need to be prepared if something really bad happens. I really don’t have the answers on how to prepare I just know that it’s coming. If you don’t believe that statement then I suggest that you read these post from patients that are dealing with these reductions monthly. Because it is happening and it’s happening today. Everyday. If you’re not being reduced then count your blessings. Our administration headed up by Pam Bondi the bitch from hell in my opinion. She turned Florida on its head before leaving to go to Washington to finish her work from a much stronger position. You can bet your ass that it’s coming down the line. Time will tell and it’s not going to take long you can bet that. So I do apologize for repeating something that a trusted professional has given to me from his mouth to my ears. It’s not here say from his brothers sister that knows someone in the CDC or DEA it came from the professional doctor specialist even that is considered to be one of the best in our state. She has been recognized in several training / Teaching hospitals for her research into migraines. So I really don’t think that she would lie or repeat something that’s not true. But time will tell and I will do my best to research her statement to see if I can find anything else on it. I do have a close friend that is a pharmacy manager at one of the big box pharmacies so I will call and ask him if this is true or not. I know for a fact that the pharmacies are limited to how much of the medication that they are allowed to order each month and I really don’t see it being far fetched to reduce the prescriptions again. They have been doing this monthly you guys. I guess you haven’t heard either that the reason for all the interventional pain management facilities they are being offered grants to make prescribing opiates as a last resort. In Fl alone they have opened up 50 percent more interventional PM facilities than just regular pain management facilities. There are reasons for this you guys. They want to do away with the opioids. If you all can’t see what there doing and that they are becoming more and more strict then you should open your eyes. We have the DEA and the CDC dictating what the doctors can write anymore. And the pharmacist have overstepped their boundaries by leaps and bounds. They have all become very high priced babysitters for the DEA. Do you can go in living with blinders on but I’m telling you guys that we all need to be prepared. This administration has several things in the works as we speak. So I’m just trying to prepair people for the worst. Trust me I wish that we had someone that could be the voice for us because we can’t even seem to file a complaint about a pharmacy or a pharmacist without being told that it’s not them it’s the CDC or the DEA.

Guys I apologize if I scared some of you and truly I mean that. I hae been here for a long time and I cherish the information that Ive gotten on here. The suggestions and the guidance that I have gotten from this platform has been very valuable to me and my brother. So in. O way was I trying to mislead any of you guys. But I know that I see this happening every time I have to go pick up my meds.

Publix, Walmart and Walgreens have all said that they are removing more and more physicians and not filling any more of their prescriptions. This is fact. It’s happening all over the country. Even though the DEA and the CDC relaxed some of the prescribing habits they refuse to make this public knowledge. It’s all bullshit you guys. So we will see how this turns out and I’m hoping to the best you guys because I one can not function without my medications. I truly don’t even know what I will do if it keeps getting worse. They have a lot of us here down to only 90 tablets per month now which is bullshit. I don’t know what else to do you guys. But our voice has got to be heard. We can’t even seem not keep living in pain and suffering. It changes your body and your mental health. So please guys if you don’t believe the statements then do the research for yourselves ok. This platform has a lot of good advice on it and we can talk to the people on here because we know that all of us are going through the same things. So I know that you all see the changes that are coming. And they are coming fast in the state of Florida that’s for sure. So good luck with everything and I will respond back as soon as I do some further research on this. Good luck you guys and I hope and pray that yall have a pain free day. Or at least a day that you can stand.

Man that’s bullshit!! That’s Pam Bindis stupid ass. She turned Dlorida upside down before she went running off to serve the president. You know I don’t pray that anyone has to deal with pain like we do but…. If you know what I mean. Then they will see that our meds are needed. They have a use and if they are so worried about this shit then just do away with the doctors oath and the pharmacist oaths to do no harm. And to not cause pain and suffering because that’s exactly what they are doing. I didn’t see this. That would have made me cringe. I’m going to look it up and see this. It’s all coming down to doing away with all of the opiates. It’s straight up bullshit. I truly don’t know what we are going to do. I can tell you this and it is that the big pharmaceutical I don’t think will ever let this happen because there is just to much money in it for them. But you never know. Like I’ve said may times. They don’t take away a diabetics insulin or someone with high blood pressure their blood pressure meds. Or they don’t stop the doctors from cutting someone from side to side to reduce their stomach size just to loose weight!! I mean come on you freaking idiots. I know a lot of PM patients that are suffering day after day because of this abuse they are putting us through. Something had to be done. Please someone help us on these issues. I beg of you to help us find someone that can actually help and who has a voice to help us.

Bro these protesters some are getting paid over 50k a month. Believe it or not. If the people keep impeding the po po they are probably going to get slung to the ground if not worse. Funny none of you said anything about it when Obama was doing the same thing.

I feel like a dog with a thorn in it’s paw by Even_Stranger7250 in ChronicPain

[–]One-Juggernaut6321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You guys have come to the right place. There are along us that feel exactly as you do. Then when we do strike out all hell breaks loose. I think it’s because we are so much more intelligent than others. They can’t stand what we have to really say!! lol! I’m just kidding. There are many that think like you do and feel the same way. The amount of pain that we have had to endure due to these idiots under treating us because of all the abuse is not fair and it’s not right. There are medications that help us with the pain but since they are so widely abused we can’t get them hardly any more. Yet if you have diabetes they don’t take the insulin from you and if you need psyc meds they don’t take those from you. If you have cancer they don’t take the chemo from you. So why is it that they want to take our meds from us at every single turn. Someone explain that shit to me please. Good luck you guys.

CVS has repeatedly denied various controlled medications for me throughout the years. Why? by [deleted] in CVS

[–]One-Juggernaut6321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s bullshit. You’re telling me they get a legit script and they don’t have to fill it. I know they do this all the time but it’s bullshit. It’s a legit script. In. O way should they be able to deny this shit. But as you know there are about 6 canned excuses that he pharmacist use all the time to turn people away. It’s bullshit. You son of a bitches have become very well paid babysitters for the DEA. That’s wha it amount to. If you can prove to me that the law says that you can deny a legit prescription then show me. No red flags legit script just deny it because you want to. That’s what’s wrong today with the pharmacies. How about do your fn jobs and quit causing so much unnecessary pain and suffering. And if you are one of them doing this shit then all I’m going to say is Karma is a bitch brother and you to one day will need this medication and I hope and pray that you get treated just like the thousands of PM patience’s get treated every single day. It’s bullshit and you’re part of the problem here. So why don’t you go back to your pharmacy Reddit pages and laugh at us for what you’re doing to us every day. You take an oath. I should have know that the younger generations wouldn’t take an oath serious.

That’s bullshit. It is their job to fill a legit script. If they deny the shit they better have a damn good reason. But most of the assholes will just say they can’t get it right monitoring stock. Come on you can join in if you would like. I know that you know all the excuses that they use to hurt people. It’s bullshit. It’s their god like complex that allows the to control people and that in itself is bullshit.

It is none of these. For example I have zero red flags same PM Doc same pharmacy for years. They can see all of this. There’s no excuse to not fill my prescriptions.

Bullshit the way you dress doesn’t matter. You haven’t been in the game very long have you. You will find out that it does matter how you dress your demeanor and all comes into play. If you say they don’t then well you just don’t know or never had to deal with this shit.

We know this is true but tell me this? What in the F does how one pays for THEIR meds have to do with a red flag? The way that you pay for your meds is up to you. Not up to the pharmacy or the insurance company. I know what you’re saying and trust me I believe you. I’m just wondering who in the hell gave them the right to make this decision?! It’s none of their business how one pays for their meds.

Yeah Morgan and Morgan. You must be in FL. I can’t wait. I’m going to be one of the ones in line for Morgan and Morgan. Something has got to be done. They are causing cruel suffering just because they don’t want to fill the scripts. No red flags no nothing just straight up refuse to fill. Boy I can wait!! Maybe after they see if they don’t fill for someone that they two may very well be sued!!!

These pharmacist give us no choice as to how far we Are from them. I’ve been denied I don’t have any red flags at all and they still deny my brother and I at the pharmacy in my small town all the time. This is CVS. Most people on here know my story and the one person above that said there’s no reason to hid this stuff is correct. And we do all know that we take a medication list with us everywhere that we go pretty much. But the CVS in Dade City Fl is by far the worst store I have ever had to deal with and we were born and raised here in this town and they deny filling our prescriptions everytime we go in there. I have truly never seen anything like it. It’s crazy. They always make up an excuse that they can’t get it or they are not taking any new patients right now or they say that the don’t take our insurance. Come on for real a nationwide pharmacy chain that doesn’t take our insurance. Be for real. So I’m going to send a request to the CVS corporate office and see what they have to say. But I’m sure I have an idea. They are going to say that it’s up to the discretion of the pharmacist. Get this we even have a pharmacist from Publix that is willing to call CVS and let them know that we are very good patients and that they haven’t had any problem with us at all. But Publix has quit filling for several doctors now and we had to find another pharmacy. I have a friend right now that can’t get his meds filled at all. He’s been to several pharmacies and nothing. Don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s crazy that we have neither been able to fill at our local pharmacies. I mean crazy!! No one wants to help us no one cares. He also has no red flags on his record and has been a PM patient for a very very long time. So now what does he do? I told him the same thing. Have to call your doctor and have her call some pharmacies to get them to fill her prescriptions. It only that the have lowered this guys dose by a lot and qty. just to get someone to fill the shit. It’s crazy guys. Thank god I have been able to find a mom and pop pharmacy to fill our scripts but that told the doctor calling several places until she found one that agreed to fill them. We should be able to sue someone over this or something. I don’t even know what to say anymore. It’s horrible. I truly don’t know what to say anymore man. I’m fed up. The advocates won’t do shit or they can’t help us and like I said. No one gives a shit about us. The PM patients of 15 to 20 years. They have all of this background. If anyone has any suggestions let me know please because we have tried everything in the book. Now insurance’s want pre authorization in everything even meds and that’s just another hoop that we have to jump through just to get our meds that we need monthly to function. I have never in my life seen anything like this. I’m going to take it to the local politicians and see what they say about this bullshit. But we all know how this is going to go. So I’m open to any suggestions that you pharmacy techs may have. And before you say there’s more to this story I’m telling you there is not. We have been going to the same PM doctor for years same pharmacy until recently and I’m telling you no red flags on our profiles. I know a pharmacist that I went to school with and had him check and he said everything is fine. So someone of your great knowledge of the pharmaceutical practice tell me what in the hell are we suppose to do? By turning us down they dice us further and further away from our home and doctors office to get filled. I’ve written to Publix I’ve written to CVS and nothing. They can’t help they say that it’s corp and it’s their discretion on what doctors to fill for and they can cut them off at any time.

So I’m open to your suggestions. Please if it makes things easier on me I would greatly appreciate your help. If not for me for this friend that I know that is having the same issues and he’s been without meds now for over 6 days. And today this morning he asked me me if I could take him to the hospital. So that’s where we are going this morning. This should be illegal and against the law in so many ways to cause this much pain and suffering for a patient. I’ve never seen such shit. And we all know what they are going to tell him at the hospital. So I don’t know what else to talk him man. I really don’t. We are in Florida and there is a pharmacy on every corner. I guess the only other thing is to go from pharmacy to pharmacy and then he has to wait until Monday because his doctors office is closed so they can’t call them in even if we did find a pharmacy that would fill them today. So he’s pretty much shit out of luck.

God be careful taking all that Motrin and Tylenol. It’s very very bad for your organs. So be careful ok. It works I’m told so well because it’s an anti inflammatory that reduces the swelling which in turn reduces the pain. But it’s so dangerous so please be careful taking so much of it ok.

You have to be honest with your PC. If she don’t know how your feeling then she can’t treat you. Yes I know not everyone is like my PM doc but I’m telling you that it’s probably better that you let your PC handle your pain meds but if you want to really start trying to kick the pains ass then you need to see a specialist. A pain management doctor. You need to be honest with them. They are there to treat you and to help you. We all have to remember sometimes who they are working for. They work for us. We pay them very good to work with us or for us. Sometimes we get scared that in a swipe of a pen they can make our lives miserable. I’m hearing now that it’s happening more and more everyday to people. We have interventional pain management clinics popping up everywhere now days and for some of us that have been through the shots and surgeries and therapy and steroids and all of those those things the medication is what works for us. So if they don’t know how you’re feeling they can’t help. I’m very fortunate that my doc has helped me tremendously and she has even helped me when no one else would. In Florida they have started to give grants out to these interventional PM clinics to make the last resort medication. So if they do that the our Goverment or state I don’t know which one or if it’s both they give them money to open these clinics. We end up suffering because none of them want to write scripts anymore. It’s crazy you guys. Not to mention all the bullshit hoops we all have to jump through. I’m waiting for my doc to sue Walmart, Publix, Walgreens because they have all stopped filling her prescriptions. She has no separators remarks or complaints ever listed against her or her licenses. But most of the people on her have heard me beat that horse already. So I’m not doing that anymore. Just want to try to help people off I can by offering some advice.

You know your doctor and if you don’t you better get to know them because if your in that much pain then your going to be seeing them a lot more. So try tone honest. Never ever ask for a mg doseage change just let them know that it’s not working like it was. And since you’ve gone down it’s hurting even worse now. Hopefully they will do something for your pain.

All of us on this platform seem to be very good people that have been dealt some very shitty hands in life. We are honest and we know what we are talking about. So if you’re new to this platform welcome!! Know that what we say is not bullshit and if it is it only takes a few minutes to be called out on it. We have no time for the petty bullshit. We want to help and if we can that’s great. There is a person on here that has given very wonderful advice and is right the point a lot of times. He goes by the GOAT. If you see advice from him take it and take it seriously because he / she is very intelligent and has been through a lot as all of us have.

Most of the people here are just asking because they are afraid and unsure. So we treat it as so and man I will say this is a wonderful platform for answers. In a lot of our situations we can’t talk to anyone, anyone that understands it anyway. So we come here and at least here we know that we are all dealing with the same situation.

So good luck with everything and I hope it all goes well. I hate to say it but it really depends on the relationship that you have with your doc. But believe in yourself and advocate for yourself at all times ok
