Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hello, I saw somewhere and now can not find it, that someone was wondering how to get their doctor to give them their pain meds without them thinking they are just trying to get pain meds. I was having trouble getting a higher dose or a stronger pain med for the last 6 months. I discussed it with my rhem. when I saw her. I called the office three times when my flare was starting. It got really bad on day 2 so I called the office 3 more times then I called when the forwarding service was turned on and told them that I had called 6 times in the last 2 days because of my pain. My doctor called me back immediately, I had the meds I needed, but I had to be very aggressive and let them know that what I had was not working and that I was in severe pain. It helped that I had discussed with her the need for something stronger during a flare in advance so now she gives me a small supply of a stronger narcotic so I can get infront of the flares, but I had to be assertive and demand that they take me seriously before they did.
