You may not remember my previous post regarding my terrible withdrawl as I was waiting for an appt with a new pain management dr. That I appt was today and the doctor just said “no.” I brought all my Rx bottles to prove my current and legitimate usage, and clear need for pain control, especially my Fentanyl patches. He said my diseases don’t need these medications, despite the fact that this course has been working for years. He gave me Neurontin, the one med I told the nurse makes me feel really weird. He just said “No.”
I’m in shock. I cried all the way to the pharmacy, and glumly bought food idek if I’ll eat. I don’t if I can go on anymore I’m just in too much pain.
Omfg just as I was typing this my mother called me from to NY to say my brother just tried to commit suicide with a ton of pills omfmg! She has to drive out to his college campus a cpl hours away… Omg omg omg he can’t leave her, that’s my DAMN OUT SHE NEEDS HIM TO STAY. Shit. She just told me to get on my knees and pray. Wtf is wrong with this family. God help us please!

This doc sounds like an asshole. Could you not go to a different one who’d prescribe the meds you need? Maybe he feels there’s a serious medical reason why he can’t give you those same pills?
Sorry to hear about your brother’s suicide attempt-perhaps he has his own medical or other personal issues he was grappling with.
Oh my God… can you see another doctor? That one sounds utterly useless.
Sorry to hear about your brother’s suicide attempt. That’s a lot to handle at once.
First thing’s first and that should be to deal with the pain. Don’t accept the ‘no.’ It isn’t good enough. You need more.
The problem is that you get so many incompetent Doctors and if you continue looking for a decent Doctor whom is willing to help you, they will then accuse you of Doctor shopping to get pain meds.
Doctors incompetence and judgmental attitude is the reason why I continued to use for 6 years. I came so close to suicide that I decided to just do whatever I had to do to survive, even if that meant illegal activities. I really did not care what I did, I simply did anything to survive and decided to kill myself if I was ever caught doing anything illegal and was facing prison time.
So sorry about your brother. I hope you find the strength to battle these idiot Doctors and do what you have to do to continue to live.
You’re absolutely right. And the media has scared them into not doing enough for chronic pain patients. As well as drug statistics. Oh wait, maybe half of those deaths wouldn’t have occured if doctors weren’t denying treatment and forcing people to self-medicate! I am seriously about to start using again, as my very last supplies of meds r dwindling. I seriously need some boy right now..
