Sue, So Sorry to hear about not being able to recieve the pain meds you need! I'm tierd of all the parinoia about pain meds. I'm very lucky that I have a PCP that understands their importance to those with chronic pain. As I have said before, in my state, New Mexico, pain meds are watched very closely! 1. They cannot be filled more than three days before the perscription it do to be refilled! 2. we have to take a Urine test every six months to make sure we are not abusing them or other non perscription drugs! 3. my doctor will not write a script over the amuont I take daily that he has perscribed!
Most people just listen to the "FAKE NEWS" by the media! Also the hospital addministration or medical addministration dictates to young doctors when they can perscribe the meds.
Sad!

Hi Sundance
Just got your message. Here in Seattle you cannot fill your prescription before your next dose is due, THE SAME DAY!
I am allowed only two 5 mg tablets a day which is laughable, but I guess better than none at all. We have to have a urine test monthly. I require more than 2/day.
I let the doctor's know how I feel about the bullshit. I am very militant in my attitude because my mom lost the will to live because of pain issues, and died at 67.
What's it like in New Mexico? I heard the cost of living is cheap there and you can live on hardly nothing, is that true? This paragraph was supposed to go at the end, oh well.
I have never heard of having to have a urine test every 6 months, I wish it was like that here. I do not feel that seniors should be subjected to all the bullshit because if you are going to have pain, it will only get worse as you age.
Take care
Sue
