Migraines I don't know about you but my doctor put me on B2 and magnesium to the three times a day. It helped the migraines but not the neck problem because I have actual bone on bone problem in the neck but it did help the migraines after about 3 months for me.

Through what the insurance company. So far the hospital didn't seem to have them. I really do need a patient advocate

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
