I found a way to get the doctors to write the pain medicine that I so desperately need. It happened by chance but started like this:
i was at a doctor for the third time being treated for my pain from three herniations and fibromyalgia. As usual the doctor refuses my narcotic wonder drugs and insists on giving me vioxx (i dont know anybody that this works for). I was mad enough already but what happened next....
if there's anything I hate it's these doctors who can't seem to decide who to prescribe pain meds too . I"m a respectable, middle aged married woman with children and I suffer from three herniated discs as well as fibromalgia. As i'm being turned down for narcotic pain meds (10mg oxycontin or anything else I ask for), I see a young (pardon the cliche because I am not prejudice and I have friend's with this appearance) but a "hippy type looking guy who apparently doesn't have any serious injuries being handed prescriptions for 3 very strong pain meds: dilaudid, some sort or patch (fentynyl?) and #120-80mg oxycontin. My hair stood up when I saw them lying on the counter! I asked him what injury he has that he needed such strong pain rellievers and he told me he fell off a ladder a fe months ago. I asked how did he get the doctor to write that medicine for him and he told me he was referred by an online website called p.M.R.S.. We talked a little about it and I was so excited to get home to see the website on my computer. I went to their website and read into it. They're some sort of referral place that reviews your condition, and gives you a form to give to your doctor. You can contact me for more details if you'd like. I purchased a one time exam/referral and it was well worth it. The next doctor I went to see wrote me the meds I needed and he did it with a smile! He even asked if that would be enough! I could have almost cried. I just want to let some of you know about this place because they've helped me so very much. Maybe some of you are in the same situation. Feel free to write to me for their email address or website because they deserve all the publicity they can get. Good luck to all of you.
