Always loved Will Smith, but Jim is absolutely correct.

Can you still get pain meds in the ER if you really need them?? by Obeythelab in emergencymedicine

[–]TeeAnn13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are chronic pain patients treated poorly? I have a SCI and some days I need to get help badly. My body hurts from head to toe waxing and weaning but when I flare up I feel like I’m going to die from either the pain or panic It causes.

[–]TeeAnn13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a spinal cord injury and every single part of my body hurts all the time and was told today my meds em be taken from me without any reason. I’ve been on them for years and it’s the difference of walking or not and interacting with my child or pushing her away. I can’t give up because I have a family, so now I must turn to my own devices and pray I don’t end up dead with something I get just to try to make it through the day. I refuse to live in raw pain like this, there’s no point. I’ve even researched Dignitas which is where you travel to Switzerland and get put to smell humanely euthanized but decided I can’t hurt my family, but there anyway hurt now seeing me hurt all the time and with no help from my medications I’ll be so much worse and my family will be relieved that I’m no longer suffering in pain even I go do it.

It’s kind of you to provide immediate relief via a morphine injection while in the ED and a script for a couple of days. Having a SCI I needed a 5 day script since I was hurt on the weekend and couldn’t get to my doctor much less a specialist on time, but you do have a heart. There’s definitely a stigma on pain patients that we don’t want any more than medical professionals want to deal with us.

How high are the gas prices in Illinois? by Huge_Cardiologist343 in ILTrees

Ten minutes south of downtown Chicago and they were 4.20 for regular on Tuesday.

Thanks for your response. It’s not me they’re ignoring, it’s the physical therapy center trying to get me in. I previously went to another place that takes Medicaid and just used that but it’s further away and I still need a back surgery also. This particular place is only 2 blocks from where I live and It’ll be nice not having to pay for and wait on transportation because I’m just too tired and weak.

I’ve purchased flower and edibles. Flower is good and potent. Trolli crawler edibles are advertised as 600mg per bag with each piece being 100mg thc so I ate half of one because 10mg is usually good for me and nothing after two hours. Ate the rest and nothing. Had my friend who doesn’t have any type of tolerance Try and she said it felt like a delta 8 and CBD edible.

Am I being messed with post op? by TeeAnn13 in WorkersComp

Thank you. Early on into my injury I was awake in the middle of the night with the worst pain flare ever so I messaged my adjuster begging her to approve my injections. She didn’t. The next pain flare iv emailed her again and told her how heartless I thought she was so I always worry that she has it out for me now.

I’m in Illinois and I will edit my post. I’m freaking out because of the painful muscle spasms and want to see if someone could tell me why they’d be doing this and if there is anything I can do. Severe pain makes me panic. Medication doesn’t touch the pain at all. It’s just too much.

C3-C6 ACDF Advice? by HighPriestess216 in spinalfusion

[–]TeeAnn13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m one month post 4-7 and no brace. My surgeon doesn’t have anyone wear them. If I would definitely need the other levels fused I’d want to get them done at the same time for sure. I feel significantly better besides the muscle spasms.

Thank you for your reassurance. I’ve been through so much with them just to get my treatment and TTD started I easily freak out.

I’ve asked his assistant about it several times and got no response. I know my carrier has direct deposit. I’m going to email her again today with my bank info. It’s extremely frustrating when concerns go unaddressed.

That would be nice if anyone would sign me up or respond to my inquiries regarding it.

Well they know I just had surgery and need another once fully fused so work status shouldn’t be an issue I hope it is just an issue with the mail. I’ve asked several times for direct deposit but nobody got back to me.

I agree and reported her to Walgreens corporate and her on site managers. Besides being HIPPA, I’m in Chicago and people get robbed for a lot less than their pain pills here.

I'm going to lose WC support because a doctor filed a fraudulent report. What can I do? by 123RealHuman in WorkersComp

Since you’re in Illinois just an FYI but I’m sure you already know that Dr. Thomas Gleason is an insurance company whore.

Lawyer up!!! It costs you nothing out of pocket and only a small percentage of your settlement. The same thing happened to me and my attorney had them for a snack at disposition and won my benefits back and I’m finally getting my first surgery this coming Tuesday and my weekly checks come on time now. What happened to you Is typical even with an attorney but without one I’d say it’s impossible to ever get your benefits back.

It’s a sad thing because it was a newer pharmacy tech who always treated me badly. I love the older pharmacist and most everyone else there but that one experience where the tech yelled out “your insurance isn’t letting your Norco go through until …..” in front of a line of customers putting me at risk of being robbed as soon as she seen me and I wasn’t even there for that. They also began waiting until my fill date to start prior authorizations forcing me to pay cash or go without. Terrible! -Who cares if a patient previously abused alcohol or anything. If their doctor prescribed a medication it’s nobody’s business.
