Re: Drs are so grrrrrrrrr at times/TJ

TJ,

I missed that part, I did read your letter, but I'm spaced out on my

Oxycontin, I like it lasts so much longer for pain relief, the spacey part

isn't that bad, it just gives me a more balanced control of pain. But I

haven't taken methadone.Sorry I can't help much!

Hugs,

S.

Sorry to hear your meds are making you feel spaced out- I've not ever had

anything do that to me- guess Im an odd ball....... but I have really researched

it thru web ferret and apparently my doctor is trying to help the pain by taking

away a strong dose of medication the avinza 90 and giving me more ( sugar pills

) to make it appear as If he were giving me stronger medications....... appears

he is playing mental games with his patient.........

Trash can is gettin nearer by the minute.........

Hugs and hope you feel better- dont think I could stand feeling- spaced out.

TJ,

That just doesn't make since to change your med from something stronger to

something less, but the Lortab has been strengthened somewhat, but fairy

useless in my opinion. I don't know about the methadone, he's not writing

you off, I don't think. Maybe just trying something different? Could you ask

him about the Oxycontin? It's one of the best and a lot of us are on it.

Yep sure doesnt make sense- hmmmmmm- drug store too said, I highly doubt we

would have that on hand that is a pretty potent drug, ( where i got my morphine)

But he did it, obviously......I've already made the decision to not take

either.......... No reason to end up with more problems of a different sort (

stomach ) over something that isnt going to reduce what is making me move at a

snails pace......

I did mention Oxycontin to him- he said these medications are all the same ,

just a few different ingredients in some than the others but strengthwise all

the same. So must be he doesnt give that one out............ not

sure............

I hope you are getting some relief from it ..........the Oxycontin.......

TJ,

HOGWASH on your Dr. These meds are not the same! How they try to pull the

wool over peoples eyes ! It just makes them feel better, they changed

something med wise .And most of the times the patient does not know the

difference until they get home and look it up. They don't care! They will

make us hurt worse in thinking we think they have done something positive

for us! HOGWASH! Good luck my friend, see him again if you can! I know it

hurts to go, but doesn't seem right. But try the methadone if you want but

stay away from the Vicodin ES since it's hurt you before, the plain Vicodin!

Hugs, S.

March 17, 2004

Wont be going back- let alone talk to him........ I feel like a total

fool....... Vicodin puts me in the hospital so no worries there- no one could

pay me enough to go on them again.......

Here he seemed shocked that the 90 mgs of avinza didnt touch me- then gives me

sugar coated methadone- go figure........

I'm gonna get a life back- Im tired of being housebound........ I will just get

up and get my drivers license again ......... and plug away at it and deal with

the pain..... Am sure others are way worse off than me by far anyhow........

Guess no sleep night #4 is here for tonight.......... am too ticked now that I

was 'stupid enough to accept lesser when I was feeling bad enough that I went to

see him 2 months before my appointment and if anyone knows me well- I am the

type that WILL NOT GO- but put myself out more and did and gosh I have this

picture of them all with their hands over their mouths laughing as I painfully

dealt with getting back into MY car that I havent driven for two year- my mother

drives it

And because why? Because I let myself believe Im ill- maybe the doctors lied

and I dont even have EDS.........

Maybe- Im perfectly normal physically and my body is just having normal aging

pains and ruptures and aneurysms etc.

I'm sitting here looking at the meds- then lookin at the trash can...........

Not sure just yet what I will do....... but at the moment - the above is

sounding pretty good to me. Perhaps my x is right......... I faked all of

it.........

Sorry to be such a pain to you all but dang Im hurting and being ridiculed while

they are living normal daily lives..........I will shut up now- not another word

about it- from me, because apparently the anger is just building and Im a total

fool........ no wonder so many people like to hurt me- I am naieve as all get

go...... nieve, naieve, niaive, how ever it is spelled- the definition for it is

TJ.

Good night all- sorry for these stupid e-mails from me.........

God- to drive again- to have a job- what I wouldn't give to have that normality

back.
