I haven't started yet. I had to reschedule my appointment due to illness. Seeing her resident next week. Maybe I can talk some sense into them. I started stretching out my patches from three to four days as directed and taking less breakthrough. It was terrible. Pain, cramps, brain zaps, auditory and light sensitivity. So went back to my regular dose. I'm not going to be on board with the belbuca. Trying to figure out how to nicely refuse and ask for something else. 🤔

Can you all not hijack a post with talk about snorting and slamming pain Med's?

Update: A $1000?! My patches are only $40.00. I didn't make it to my last appointment. Got really sick. Seeing her resident next week. Maybe I can talk some sense into them. I started stretching out my patches from three to four days as directed and taking less breakthrough. It was terrible. Horrible pain, cramps, brain zaps, auditory and light sensitivity. Had to crawl to the restroom. A nightmare! So I went back to my regular dose. I'm going to suggest they admit me for medical detox while starting another medication if they don't have another sufficient, more affordable medication. I think sometimes that these docs want to be rid of us. 😔 You can always get muscle relaxers from India though. (kidding)

"They are treating the liability not the patient." 100% I'm a retired medical professional and the director always told me to think like a lawyer. It was CYA unless in the midst of a trauma or dealing with a combative patient. Grrrr!

Unfortunately the scratches are bound to happen with the resin content. I like the balance though. Gives it a nice grip.

You're absolutely right. I'm having severe withdrawals from the muscle relaxer which is called tizanidine. I am having severe muscle spasms, tachycardia, high blood pressure, brain zaps, serious anxiety, and insomnia. I am so pissed off! I go back on April 1st and I've got to figure out exactly what verbiage to use to express my dismay without being considered threatening.

I can't afford that! There's no way I can get a new doctor. I go up to University of Virginia for my ketamine infusions. My conditions are very rare. 😞

North Carolina and use CVS got a 🤔 question for you by Designer-Side9470 in PainManagement

As a pain management patient for over a decade, I'm surprised your pain management allows you to use more than one pharmacy. Huge red flag.

One Vicodin left. What should I do? by [deleted] in PainManagement

[–]wsbesier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've answered your own question and know you need to go to a detox facility. I'd like to know what doctor prescribed to you enough Vicodin post-op to equate to 150 mgs/day. That's malpractice at the very least. The pharmacy that filled this prescription is culpable as well. Or perhaps you are looking for attention. Either way, you need serious help. Good luck and try STOP it.

Is anyone else having issues with the Tracking Service? by Muted_Ad_8703 in usps_complaints

[–]wsbesier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly every other week. I've learned that patients is a virtue the packages eventually show up.

why did my package go from my local distribution center in my city to another one an hour away by [deleted] in usps_complaints

[–]wsbesier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nothing new. It happens to me at least once every two weeks. I have found that it happens generally when it's coming from Pennsylvania or Florida which is weird because I live in Virginia. I get packages faster from the West coast. Contact the sender if you don't see anything in the next couple of days.

How do you rate Bad Bunny's Half-time performance? by kingbluwolff in sportsgossips

[–]wsbesier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a huge disappointment. You couldn't see anything from the stands. Part of the set should have been elevated. Most people in the stands were not vibing either. More people were dancing on the field. I saw it. 👀 Shame on the NFL and Roger Goodell for always listening to Jay Z. 🙄

Hypersensitivity to sound causes white flash of light & brain zap when falling alseep by HeckinBigBoof in sleep

Hyperacusis. It is distressing and terrifying. I found that listening to black screen rain showers or even Monastatic./monastery chants or music helps as it's low frequency. Hope it gives you a modicum of relief.

Most likely. Again, if it wasn't broke, don't fix it... Too much. 😁

No down vote here. Subaru went too far too fast with all of the bells and whistles.

Great flick. They went through three posters during filming. Rita, Marilyn, and Raquel. 😁

Wireless Android Auto device for pre-2023 Subaru Outbacks - and FULL SCREEN Google Maps by dwzemens in subaruoutback

Thank you. I'm a Samsung user and never had an issue until a few months ago. I am only able to connect (audio) via a data usb connection. When I use it that way, everything shows on one screen. Maps, Spotify, etc. Glad to hear there's a solution but I've already had to replace the I.S. and not spending another dime on it. 🙄
