[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 377380, member: 1514"] Ya know CM, I had to read back to realize that your husband was or was thought to have a problem with abusing his pain medications or even street medications. I am so sorry you are dealing with this. It also kind of ticks me off as a person with his similar problems ie: chronic pain and BiPolar (BP). I get those snickers and looks about how I am "addicted" to my medications all the time. I have been in a snit lately because the last time Tony met with my therapist he (again) told her he thinks I take too many pills and one of my biggest disabilities is watching the judge shows in the afternoons! How friggen dare he!!! Number one, this was said after I had just gone to the psychiatrist and had 3 medications discontinued because I felt they were making things worse for me so that shows I am on top of attempting to keep my medications to a minimum. Two, I recently started going to a pain management doctor instead of just letting a family practioner "practice" on me. I wanted a professional who knows there stuff. I also just had had a painful procedure with needles in my back that he was there for and I know he would have never had done. I do tons of things like getting injections in my knees that turn him green to attempt to not go up on pain medications. I beg him to help get me the wheeled stool so I can work in the kitchen. He can see for himself I cant walk easily. I can hardly get out of bed without help. I have to call him to get me out of the bathtub. But yet he wants to say I am just disabled by watching tv. The jerk! I am now on a very low dose of methadone but I dont know if it will be long term because it tends to make me a bit queasy. Im hoping it quits. I hate this whole medication trials. I just want something that works, is low dose and I cant feel it. [/QUOTE]
