This is not a reply, but something that might interest chronic pain suffers. https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2018/3/15/human-rights-watch-investigating-treatment-of-pain-patients This is a connection to an article that human rights watch maybe investigatig the treatment of Chronic pain patients.
I am not sure if this will lead to anything, but it may help by bringing attention to the struggle that pain patients are having in America. 19lin

@jimhd I am now experiencing not getting help for pain control and was told to walk. I can no longer use NSAIDS and have done everything I know to do. I only requested 1 hydro 5 mg. a day. Also having thyroid issues now because of severe, but rare side effects of Nature-Throid. TSH 13.36 as of last Friday and when they increase the dose the side effects become so severe it scares me. Weight on the rise and fear becoming a fat old sow.
Sorry, need to take the thyroid issue to the proper place. Now awaiting a call from from endo doc. Feeling my life is ending and cannot stop it. If this is all it is going to be it is no longer worth the trying. 🙁
HI parus, I was on Acella natural thyroid and the balance of T3 and T4 was not in synch. I am now on Canadian Erfa which is doing a better job than Acella's version. Acella was working great for about 6 years till the fall and winter of this year. See if you can get a script for Erfa. It might help you. 1 hydro is nothing - I'm really sorry you are going through this. Dorie
Parus where do you live? I'm so sorry you feel this way my heart goes out to you the info Dr did wonders for my friend hope for you the same.Love Lioness
@lioness IN. Pain much worse because because of hypothyroidism now. Been going on since last September with increase of Nature throid. Breached the subject then and was poohed poohed. Nearly died in 2013 because a doctor would not listen about allergy to the Synthroid. Have been referred to an endo which could take a month or more being a new patient. Very discouraged and not one to cry I can't stop. Symptoms improve some as day progresses, but increased dosage has me itching, sore throat, swollen glands, the scoots, cramping is awful...give my body time to adjust. Very hypo so have to take it or risk doing permanent damage which were instructions by the nurse. So much for positive thinking for now. Going to ER won't help...Geesh, what to do.
Do you ever try going to a urgent care ? They have medicine for uncontrollable crying ,see your Dr. For prescription. I belong to a prayer group would you like me to put you on?Count the days till you see the endo.I'm sure he can help you with your thyroid Read God,s word ,hang in there .
Have you gone to endo yet?my emails are ending up in spam ,sorry for not writing sooner but have thought about you.

Thanks for the link. I sent a message to Laura about what I'm going through with my doctor. He's gradually cutting back on the dosage of opioids, and told me to take NSAIDS, which I shouldn't take because of the risk of bleeding. I'm fearful of the future of my pain control.
