[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 555737, member: 1514"] Susie, Tony drives anywhere between an hour and a half to 2 and a half hours a day to work each way a day. I know how driving lengthy distances works. All my doctors now require me to come in monthly. It used to be that I only had to go into my psychiatrist once every 3 months but now I have to go monthly because he closed his private office and hired on with a group. No one here does narcotics in the mail or online. Nor do they give more than one months worth. The really odd part of this is that I have only seen this PA maybe 4 times in the 2 years I have been going to this place. Normally I see either a woman or this wonderful doctor who is a bit older and we got along very well. In fact I loved that man. He was so pleased with me that he told me he wished all his patients were like me! I really felt like I had someone in my corner with him and that we understood each other. He understood I didnt want to up my medications constantly and that I was trying to go very slowly because I actually hope to be around awhile and if I am, if I am on very high medications now, what will I do then? Right now I see people in that waiting room who are about 25 years old and they are on 100 mgs of morphine twice a day, 40 mgs of oxycontin 3 times a day and get 90 5 mg lorcet a month to take as needed! Now you tell me what is going to help those people when they are 50 much less 75! Heck, I get a toothache and my morphine doesnt even touch it. I have to take one of my ketoprofen and a lorcet to help it. The morphine is only for chronic pain. Now if I got a shot of morphine it would help but that is a different formula. The amount that I get through extended release is so slowly absorbed that it isnt going to touch something immediate. [/QUOTE]
