On the bright side, you got to visit "Sickbay" as a kid. My only hope is join the navy or get a job on the Starship Enterprise.

 

 

You could always go to the Salton Sea

I could just take to calling the breakroom at work "sickbay," that seems the more economical approach and plus I could get burned coffee and a vending machine danish while I was there.

I know movies aren't suppose to be realistic but when someone gets like 15 shots from a 5 shot revolver c'om really?

You have this trope to blame for that.

I hate doctors when they practice lazy "medicine" and dangerously, murderously, prescribe pain pill after pain pill for "all that ails ye."

 

These f*ckers should be punished much more harshly than those who get busted for pushing meth, heroin or crack.

There is probably one story a month here about a doctor getting in trouble for that.

 

My pain management doctor made me jump though hoops before he would prescribe my medication i was on even though i had transferred from another pain management doctor who had retired.

 

Even though he had all of my records including a recent MRI/XRays he made me go get more including other test and at every visit i had to drop urine for a drug test and get a liver panel done and if you don't get your liver panel done before your next visit you weren't getting your meds.

 

If you were complaint he's the nicest guy in the world and won't let you suffer but i lost count of how many times I've seen people storm out of his office because they forgot to do their liver panel and he wouldn't give them their script.

 

He would drop you if your levels were too high or too low which was indication that you were abusing your medication.

i had the opposite of that. ended up with an opiate habit of 4x160mg of Oxi per day, accompanied by a quite solid benzo addiction. Now, i did my part to get there by manipulating him, and it was easy for me to do so because i had at that point spent almost 10 years in massive pain without ever even asking for opiates, but part of being a doctor is to be aware of patients doing just that. At that time i was at the most desperate place i had ever been in my life, having lost the best job i ever had, my flat, and my girlfriend of 8 years, all the while my physical pain escalated like it never had before, all of which led to me just wanting to be numb to the core.

 

About 10 months later i one day suddenly woke up from my chemical coma, just long enough to realize i'd be dead in no time if i did not radically change my path immediately. I had moved on the IV'ing heroin on a daily basis after i had started mainlining my pills just a month in to my addiction, and i had pawned just about everything of value i had owned. That's when i admitted myself to the loony bin, to keep me from slowly killing myself. But, instead of respecting my wish for no new meds and weaning off the existing ones, they additionally got me hooked on sleeping pills and kept throwing every anti-depressant in the book at me. Only through a lot of self-control and discipline i managed to emerge with my opiate habit reduced to 2x20mg of Methadone per day, and clean of any anti-depressants. The benzo- and sleeping pill-addiction i only managed to get rid of after i had left the bin, which is something all the shrinks and doctors told me was impossible to do, and that i needed to admit myself to a special facility dealing with those specific addictions. But i was so fed up with being institutionalized at that point, i decided i would just prove them wrong, and by doing that would rid myself of any need for stationary therapy.

 

TL;DR Careless Dr. Feelgood got me hooked on opiates & benzos, with my active participation. Still, he should have seen what was happening, as it is a part of his job to act responsibly when we are hurting too bad to do so ourselves.

All my issues stemmed from a work accident a few years ago where i was hit by a drunk driver after that the pain steadily increased to where it is now, I can no longer work in the field and have opted for the operations & communication center

 

Before i go onto the medication i'm on now i was taking 200mg (100mg pill) of morphine a day and although it helped i didn't like the way it made me feel so loopy so when i tranfered from my primary care to pain management i was started on 15mcg of Fentynal and moved up slowly to where i am now.

 

I am on 100mcg of Fentynal every 48 hours my pain will never go away i have pinch nerves among other things it's getting to the point where i can't run around with my youngest daughter anymore i have ti sit and watch her a job i loved i will never be able to return to i need both hips and knees replaced plus a spinal surgery which i am scared to death of because the changes of it getting worse 70% over 30% of it getting better and i am having my first hip replacement this coming month.

 

My pain doctor is very good at keeping my pain under control along with the patch he has given me 5mg oxycoden (not oxycotin it's a perocet without the tynoel sp?) which i rarely take but maybe once or twice a week when it gets really bad, i already know that if i were to ever get off these i'd need to be put on Suboxen or Methadone i don't abuse my meds and i have never run out but my body has gotten dependent on em and my doctor knows even with these meds my pain is going to get even worse as the years go by so we are in the process of trying to get a pain pump put on my spine that would give me medication 24 hours a day where i wouldn't need to take anything myself and feels i would have better pain control.

 

I've already been turned down by one doctor for it but we have high hopes this new doctor will be accepting of it and my pain doctor is actually going to go with me to this appt to explain to the doctor why he wants me to have it.

 

I don't sleep very well i'm lucky to get a few hours a night if that, Like tonight i sleep asleep around 10:30 i was wide awake by 1am due to the pain i have a muscle relaxer i can take and it knocks me out but i can't take it all the time because i am a single dad and i have to get my girls up in the am and if i take them i will sleep though my alarm so i've just learned to grin and bear it and hope one day the pain will get under control.

Best of luck to you, my man! Looks like live dealt you quite a hand there... i got a lot of respect for you not giving in to the temptation of abusing your opiates, as i know all to well how tempting it is, especially for someone actually being in constant pain. The fact that you place your children's well-being and their basic every-day-needs above your own longing for pain relief and sleep is highly admirable, all though i doubt it is sustainable over their entire childhood. Therefore i hope you got some people around you who are willing and able to take some of that weight off your shoulders, and be it just for a day every now and then for you to regain some energy.

 

While what you do simply is the decent way to go about your situation, i doubt that many of us would have the strength and the spine to do so. That pain pump you mentioned sounds like it could be a viable option, especially since, if i remember that correctly, a much smaller dose of opiates is needed with that pump to achieve reliable pain reduction. I had considered it too in my worst days, but for my main issue (Cluster Headaches) there is no indication for the pump, and my Scoliosis-induced back pain also wasn't severe enough to warrant such a thing in the eyes of my doctors. Probably for the better anyway, as such a pump would have been an all too clear manifestation of my pain issues, making it impossible for me to believe in a future in which i wasn't at war with my own body. But i'm rambling, sorry... all i wanted to say was that i admire how you deal with your situation. It takes quite a man to do what you do, and i for one salute you for it.

That seems a bit extreme, but I would rather it fall on that side of the spectrum. Stories like S0lo's, and that of my friend who died on Thursday, are far too common. It's happened in my immediate family to 2 different people.

 

I'm sorry for what both you and S0lo have endured... I hope you Trubadour are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. S0lo, I hope you are able to get out of this cycle before it damages your life any more... sounds like you are on the right track, that's really awesome.

im not mean so I take back what I just said and instead replace it with how much I hate algebra 2

I have to take algebra 2 next school year. I had the course this year but my guidance counselor suggested that I drop it and take Liberal Art. It's the same thing as algebra 2, but you're just learning the basics and at a slower pace. So far, I'm understanding very well, so I hope I'll understand easier and faster next school year.Algebra 2 is difficult for me but I'm getting through it lol

Look, be as vague as you want, but I'm sure whatever you did warranted a reprimand, you seem to be the type that likes pushing the envelope until you get in trouble and then complain that sh*t isn't fair.

I was standing next to two maids, minding my own, and all of a sudden one of them told me to f*ck off...I asked why, and she said that I'm eavesdropping on their conversation...Of course, I told told her:

A. f*ck you...

B. I'm not eavesdropping in your f*cking pathetic conversation about how much of a f*cking skank you and your daughter are...

C. Don't tell me to f*ck off...You f*ck off...

Of course that shut her up quickly...Bitch should make herself useful and give me her extremely handsome son's corpse instead of telling me to f*ck off when I wasn't even "eavesdropping"...

thanks for the sentiment, i appreciate it a lot . And yes. i guess i'm somewhat on the right track, as i haven't shot up anything since i released myself from the bin, nor done any benzos or illegal opiates. I'm on a higher dose of methadone again now though, as i decided that, if i don't quit it totally, i might just as well take enough for the pain to be reduced. Some days, when the urge gets too strong, i take a little more so can get a nod on (which i can do by taking less the next day, since i pick my methadone up weekly as pain medication, opposed to those in the drug rehab program who have to pick up theirs one dose at a time). I allow myself these little escapes, so i don't slip back in to that unsatisfiable longing for opiates that builds up when i try to be completely abstinent of any kind of opiate rush by just taking enough methadone to fend off the withdrawal. It's not a perfect solution, but it is a sustainable one. And that's what i need at this moment in time.
