Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 To all those who agreed I needed to get my pain meds back, I went to doc I have seen for many years yesterday. It was a 200 mile trip but well worth it! He said it was sad that my daughter had interfered. He started me back on hydrocodone 750. He only gave me 60 for a month and wants me to have my local doc call him and he will verify my need for the med. It helped so much last night which is always my worse time and I thank God for it. Thanks for the encouragement to go get it! Sincerely Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago I also got in-ear generators through the NHS - the local Primary Care Trust later stopped doing these and only use the behind the ear ones because of the cost involved - the in-ear ones tend to be more susceptible to wax and dirt and therefore break down easier.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Sorry it wasn't any help. The ones they provide are fairly generic, but if you need them to be custom made I don't think that it would be possible! > To: Soundsensitivity > Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:53:39 +0000> Subject: Re: Success!> > Puretone is in the UK, I am not sure they have anything like this in the US.
