Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Moderator's note: I changed the subject heading to make it shorter. Kaylene Hi Pam, There are plenty of scary drug stories and that is just what they are stories. maybe isolated incident a few months ago there was a Fentanyl scare a few heroin addicts died when they used heroin cut with fentanyl. Along with this One guy put a druggies patch in his mouth and another tried to get the fentanyl out of the patch s with hypodermic. the guy who had it in his mouth was probably a suicide the nitwit with the hypodermic was some kid being stupid as it will not work . The Fentanyl in the heroin was made legally overseas and brought to the US illegally. But the anti drug zealots made out to be some sort of epidemic sweeping the nation just like the alleged methamphetamine " " epidemic " These are used to drum up suppport for the groups Is funds and of course laws they also cause the medical professionals to become more afraid of perceiving. I had a hard time getting of all thing Ativan and Klonopin at the same time. after a drug scare a pretty, popular (for a few reasons ) young blond woman OD on a cocktail of drugs yet only heroin and Valium were mentioned. So I had to have my MD OK my Perception ! I was also supposed to speak at forum but was banned because I was going to say thing that did not fit the anti drug agenda. In realty very few people die from using prespcription drugs or for that matter illegal drugs in comparison to OTC pain relievers, Alcohol poisoning, and of course nicotine use of any sort. But things like that sell i know if the woman had been a Hispanic woman it would not have made the news. But each time this hits the news it sets us back. I belong to an organization and have spoken. I am hoping to write when I can. I have a VR system now, it is not perfect. I am not used to using it and the keyboard yet. I think it is important that we educate people about pain, pain meds and other treatments not what pain does to us and those close to us how it feels to not be believed or treated like some low life. You are right if there was really something wrong with Darvon, dravocet it would have been removed a long time ago. Millions of prescriptions have been written a few hundred died if that! I do not know how many know about a med called Palladone. It is a control released version of Dilaudid, a fast acting very potent opiate. It has been Suspended from the market because if you take it with alcohol it can be lethal. Alcohol dissolves the capsules beads. They are in ironically, i be live the capsule is the same material as Kaidan ! Now who takes their Morphine with alcohol ? I imagine some drink a glass of wine, or have a beer a while after aking it to no ill effect. I do not say it is a good idea, but i am sure it happens. With Palladone all that had to be done was simply say do not use alcohol while taking this drug period. There is actually a law suit against Perdue because some guy took palldone then drank. His wife is suing. What I do not get is why it is even in court? The judge should toss it as the guy should have read the warning and not drank, but stuff like this hurts us. On your Migranes with MRIs. If you have some one to take you, ask your MD for a sedating dose of Ativan or Xanax, along with asking if you can bring your own earplugs. Most MD's are understanding about things like MRIs and other procedures affecting patients, with a lot of medical condtions. MRI techs are very used to people who have pain and complex condtions that's why they are getting a MRI ! On the link type www.tinyurl or www.tinylink into your Browser. You will find the site for making a long short. Best Wishes Rick Sorry for the long winded post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
