Re: pain mng.

[Guest guest]

-Aren't doctors something else? Your right...typically I would not

wish this garbage on anyone, but if only for a day.... I had been

taking vicodin es, now they just take the edge off and my tummy is

torn up. We'll see. I will have a heart to heart with this new doc

tomorrow. My insurance would not even pay for my celebrex, so I went

without it for months...I simply cannot afford it now that I am not

working, I had been fighting with my primary care for about 6

months...all he had to do was fill out some paperwork and submit it

to the insurance company. Anyway, this new doc had this done in less

than a week and today I actually got a 3 month supply of it. This

doesn't take my pain away, but I really can feel a difference with my

joints, so keep your fingers crossed for me for my visit on Friday

and thanks for listening, I love it...did u know these r

addicting...that like my pet peeve, my medical problems are quite

numerus..I love when they say, so what brings u here today? Now I

say...my car :-) God Bless, Pam-- In

to have a few more doses left when it's time to refill every month.
