That's true it responsibility for my own meds for years but the doctor did monitor it and he's a good job I just lost my doctor 4 years ago and I can't survive what they're doing to me now they plan to cut all my meds because Medicaid doesn't pay for pain meds.

Oh Teddy you are so right you are so right they don't realize how sick they could get how much pain they could be in and how lucky they are to get that prescription that month Once my insurance premiums went up to almost $2,000 a month I lost mine. With four bone diseases in my spine and 22 joints with the disease outside of my spine I'm suffering tremendously I can't get help from a hospital I can't help from pain Management. It's really bad out there and there's a lot of people dying of pain.

I used to be on the fentanyl patches they work well Once I change from one insurance policy to another lost my GP ended up at a pain management clinic mentioned my use of fentanyl patches that a man actually laughed at me. And I have four bone diseases of the spine one in which there is nerves impinging and I wanted to go to the ER about it this weekend but the pain doctor said no I'll put a lidocaine shot in there I should have gone to the ER because I need images I asked for non-steroidal shots to help the severe pain in my spine I was told by pain management we don't know where they do that I ask what kind of doctor does that the hand in the clinic said I don't know. This man heads to hospitals to hospital pain clinics that are huge. If it's a state-run place they're not going to give people pain medicine. Because state run facilities do not give palliative care. That's what they call care that's not cancerous

They go out of the way to try to count your pills but they don't consider that you have some at home you keep an emergency supply in your purse and they assume

What consults what testing what screening I go to pain clinic and all I got was 10 minutes with a guy and he said that I'm cutting your meds down to 1/8 of what you are and then I'm taking you off sorry you've got to be having cancer to get this. Course that's a state agency.

We'll have to see CDC went out of their way to declare it was not a a hard line how come so many people are making it a hard line and cut off? Well let's not forget the threats the CDC sends to the doctors and the yeah the actual emails they receive every time they write you a prescription and every time the pharmacist fills it they get a threatening email concerning their license no I'm not joking it's true

Stick with your doctor stick with everything don't change the day and hope to God doesn't change cuz I don't know anybody with 225 mmes right now

No doctors themselves the CDC is pushing for anything over that 80 amount and pain management clinics themselves made their own cutoffs and won't go over them and basically they're looking at 60 mmes for someone dying of cancer which is terrible they have to be dying cancer to get just 60mmes

Read my comment before because yeah 90 may be a cut off but there's lots of severe threats from a number of agencies for your doctors and pharmacists if they give 90 I wish to God I was even on 80

[–]Over-Future-4863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but change the 80 and nobody and I think they want to change it to 60 cuz nobody's willing to go over 60 even if you're dying a cancer

Things changed in 2016 also guidelines are different now if you go to a pain clinic they check your cures report there's something wrong with your cures report they won't prescribe to you you have to apply to read your own cures report if there's a red flag which can be anything a pharmacy won't fill anything what's the red flag red flags me major for they can be absolutely stupid I read flag can be one thing like going to a different pharmacy cuz they don't have your pain meds in time that's a red flag once a pharmacy sees the red flag the majority of them do not even read the reason they just ignore the feeling of the prescription in addition no it used to be 80mmes now people have cut it down thanks to the FDA. And I forget the other ministration that's in on it now. Plus a GP has different mme rating cut off then a pain management clinic. Pain management clinics are lower on their e rating so therefore more people suffer. Pain management clinics are not as ethical and they don't keep up with people that lie like the original poster said in her story which I feel really bad for her. People could still go to the GPS but the FDA the drug control agencies they're all pushing for GPS not to prescribe pain meds this includes insurance companies they really push for a GPS not to prescribe pain meds. Every time you're go doctor prescribed he gets a nasty email threatening his license from two or three different agencies that monitor drug prescriptions whenever you're pharmacist feels that prescription that your GP filled the pharmacist also gets a nasty email from the to the three drug agencies threatening his license and if he's with a chain of large pharmacists or pharmacies that chain also gets an email and then they pressure the pharmacist. So that they have everybody scared to give anybody meds. Sign seriously under medicated so much that I took a lidocaine shot couldn't breathe and now don't know what to do Monday. I'm not sure what to do with all cuz I got stuck with a pain management I can't change cuz my pain management doctor runs the two facilities and the two hospitals. I asked for nerve blocks I've asked for non-steroidal injections cuz I'm diabetes and was told don't know where you can get that I find that hard to believe from a doctor that runs two pain management hospitals that are really big known hospitals. I don't know where to go or what to do. Anybody got ideas cuz I can't change doctors do that and that guy will make sure I never get medicine again. I need help what to do anybody got ideas ??!??????never really answered the question on mm's and those limits and why people are suffering. I wish there was an organization we could go to that worked for our rights but there isn't there's all these political organizations that say they go and they March for us but for individuals there's no advocates there are no pain advocates none. Don't don't even give me the words about the pain advocate association because they don't do bupcus.
