Hey guys this Donna (aka FACES1999). I see where there is some interest in

FACES (facing arthritis w/compasion, encouragement and support). This makes

my heart glow.YIPPEEE. I began FACES in 1998 after attending the AJAO in DC.

I was so empowered and overwhelmed to see how many are affected by arthritis

at a young age. Prior to that day I had lived 27 years with JRA and met no

child, teen or young adult. This saddened me so when I arrived back home from

DC I immediately went into action and have yet to stop or slow down. My life

has changed for the better in a drastic way since I have met others who truly

understand my life. I encourage all of you to reach out and find someone.

Though you think you are alone I can assure you, you are not. Tree and I grew

around the corner from one another, as did 3 other local FACES members!!! It

truly is a small world.

For those interested in recieving more information about FACES and jumping

aboard the mailing list, all you have to do is let tree or I know. You can

email either of us with your mailing information or just say please add me

and we will put you on the email list. Its that simple!!! We have email

newsletters or snailmail and will accomadate whichever you prefer. Our

newsletter is written by folks with arthritis (children included) for folks

with arthritis and seems well recieved by those who get it. FACES would love

to invite you all to join us as we attempt to make the most of life with

arthritis.

keep smilin and hope to hear from EVERYONE!!!

Hi all, Becky,

Now I find out!!! My doc gave me Amitriptiline & Prozac both!!!!! The

B------! He could have killed me!! At night my body felt like it was on

fire. I got up & went into te bathroom & noticed my legs, (actually my

whole body) were all splotchy red like I had been burned! Wierd! That is

when i took the Amitriptiline, at night to help me sleep. This happened

2 nights & I quit it (the Prozac.) Also quit the Amitriptiline too, as I

felt so groggy the next day, couldn't hardy function. This is why I

don't take meds, I just don't trust them. I want to be around for a few

more years, I have kids, 4, plus their 4 spouses & 7 gchildren to love !

Your Pharmacist is the better choice for info, NOT YOUR DOC!

God Bless, Patsy

ps My niece went for her dx, & Neuro told her he was 100% sure she has

CMT, & OMO I still think stairs exaserbates your CMT, & if you do not

want to get worse at a younger age stay away from stairs!! Makes sense!

Common sense!

My daughter is 14 and in the 8th grade. She has been included through middle

school. I must say that we have been blessed with an outstanding group of

teachers and she has had a wonderful experience. In fact, I think that she

has had 3 of the best years of her school career.

The key is planning and attitude. The staff had a " can do " attitude and also

set the tone for other students. Holly is part of the school, and they were

not going to tolerate any kind of unkindness from other students. They

modeled respect, and the students were respectful. Not all of her classes are

in the " regular " classroom, but they set up the Spec. Ed classes like regular

classes (she goes to the spec. ed classes for reading, writing and math-but

it is woven throughout her schedule) she takes PE, language arts, social

studies, band and art in the regular classroom. Language arts, social

studies she has an aide. The other classes she goes on her own.

It can be a great experience :-)

Subject: Re: Need Help With A Law?

Della and ,

First of all, good to know there is another Texan in the Group!!

Della is right, C2 scripts for MOST drugs in Texas are printed on a

special blue pad that is somewhat like a check...

Meaning that if you hold it up to the light, there is a watermark.---

It is EXTREMELY HARD to 'fake' and IMPOSSIBLE to copy or scan as the

copy machine or scanner will end up giving the 'addict' or whomever

tries to copy the script, a piece of paper that has COPY COPY COPY

all over it.

Also in Texas there will not only be the Doc's DEA # but his DPS #

on the script.

If you happen to be a Tech. in Texas and you receive this kind of

script (from a legitimate pad... perhaps 'misplaced'.. ah hell let's

just come right out and say it... stolen from a doc. by a pt.)

remember that it is Texas Law that the C2 script must be in PRINT...

NOT CURSIVE!

And in Texas, we do still have triple scripts (D.E.A. Forms) for any

natural or synthetic C2 Opiod drug.

As a Tech. in Texas, this problem most likely will not come up

unless you either work in a small town or an extremely busy

pharmacy, so here is Texas State Law as I have been taught so far:

(Major Caveat: I am not a Lawyer or a Pharmacist. If you would like

more clarification about the Laws of the state of Texas, call the

Texas State Board of Pharmacy or log onto their website,

http:www.tsbp.state.tx.us)

If you receive a photocopy of any C2 script, DO NOT FILL IT

YOURSELF. In Texas, this is a moot point because your RPh will deal

with the pt. who is trying to 'get ya', but in other states this

might not be the case.

Check the Pt.'s INSURANCE...

A major sign of 'Doctor Shopping' is rejection of a script 'as a

duplicate from another Doc.' OR a patient that is willing to pay

$15.00 a pill (Retail) for Focalin.

As far as the C2 ADHD meds go, at least in Texas, you will get

a 'good' script on the proper pad that will read something like:

ALL IN PRINT (NO CURSIVE ALLOWED!)

Ritalin 5 Mg.

SIG:

1 (one) tablet PO Q AM

1 (one) tablet PO Q 12:00 PM

1 (one) tablet PO Q 5:00 PM

Dispense:

30 (Thirty) Tablets

I hope this helps someone, and remember that you ALWAYS have the

right to say NO when it comes to filling scripts. If you do not yet

have this kind of relationship with your RPh, you either need to

develop it or move on.

Remember, you could possibly be held liable (financially OR

criminally) if you break the Laws of the state in which you

practice. Ignorance of the Law is NEVER an excuse, so find out

exactly what the LAWS of your state are and follow them!

Good Luck!

[Guest guest]

looking into getting my certificate changed i need to

fax the PCTB a copy of my marriage certificate. I

don't know where to fax it to as i lost the number and

i can't get into the PCTB site because i have lost the

card they sent me months before they changed their

site around.
