Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Dear , As a CIP advocate educate yourself at all costs on your laws, your pain management clinics and your disorders. You have a right to ask for pain management, and medications that are safe unlike many like Neurontin that are used without FDA approval for pain and are only safe for partial seizures. Keep a pain journal and take a friend to appointments. This all helps.

It is nice to know that you are intelligent enough to know how to check out meds and not just take what the Doctor gives you because he is the Doctor. I wrote to another person on this list about questioning what a Doctor does and asking for specific meds and I was told he was the Doctor and not her and that she didn't go to medical school. It is such a shame when patients do every little thing their Doctor wants without questioning them. After all we are the patients, and it is our bodies. We have a right to look out for what we put in our bodies too. I just want to say you are a smart lady and good luck. I hope you soon have less painful days. Sincerely, Colletti Anjillah@...
