[QUOTE="Star*, post: 377572, member: 4964"] HI there - I'm not sure about where you live, but here in SC? I don't know if its DF's physical appearance - the tattoos, the long hair, the biker thing...or the fact that you can pump DF up with enough morphine to drop an elephant and it does little to nothing - I'm talking at least 3-4 shots before he feels any type of relief in serious pain. Even when he accidentally shot himself in the thigh? It took so much to knock him out the surgeon was amazed. However he is on methadone and a really strong dose every day. Now - that said? At ANY time of the month, 8-5 M-F, we can get a call, from his Pain Management Dr. (PMD) and they can ask him to come into the office for a urinalysis, and to bring his pills for a count. IF there is ANYTHING else in the urinalysis (street drugs or not enough methadone, too much methadone) HE IS OFF THE PROGRAM. period - ONE bad Pee test and he is done. PERIOD. IF he is short pills? He is off the program. PERIOD. If he is OVER? Well then they readjust next months prescription by the overage PER DAY because apparently he didn't need them. It's ludarcis. It's ludacris because they had him just perfect managing his medications and WHAM - no more methadone - lets go to opiates. WT? So without tapering - and what have you? They tried him on opiates and they.did.not.work.at.all. DF can NOT have a chiropractor - no one in this state will see him - he has fusions, 2 18" rods, nuts, bolts - the works.
