Dr.Oz today!

after the day i have had not that im complaining, but to finally sit down a take your breakthrough med and kick back and wam Dr.Oz,
"no pills, today for your we will give you pilless remedies and love the "magic bullet", treatment that i think if anyone offers you the solution i recently discovered generally; run in the other direction as fast as you can, for me it's not fast anymore. not that i am against these adjuvant therapies but to single out that heading for your will convince at least 10people in America and we do not need that because the OxyContin Express pill mill dealers help make this such a chore when a diabetic would never be asked to go through this, so it is touchy, we have to prove we are model citizens. thanks for letting me vent.

you are exactly right, i am not opposed to any "therapy" and use the kitchen sink but, the way he, (Dr.Oz), put it, is the problem is the cure. the cure is not the cause. i am realizing that true chronic pain that is treatment resistant and day and night that has a very risky secondary influence on the vital signs is more rare than i thought. we are not the norm of what people today think of as "chronic pain", we do not have a once and a while ache. we are in a very odd position in that we must stay on our medical problem just like a diabetic and if we do not, just a matter of time, and the pill mills and dealers which have brought heroin back in a big way are what most people, doctors, pharmacy techs, and the media are the stereotype applied to us! that upsets me and i take personal when it is from healthcare professionals. what an amazing game we have to play to be cared for, legally. we go the legal route and are honest and 1 in 10 is taken under the care of a good doctor. i tried to find Dr.Oz's email real fast when one thing after another was prefaced as "no pill", he is unaware that he is harming legit patients and causing suffering, i bet he does not know. so, he should stick to cardiothorassic surgery. the DEA now has 50% less states to bust people for cannabis and a handle has been put on the meth labs so we need something to fill our time and justify the giant budget they are given from us. pills, pefect, doctors and the most tortured patients, perfect. if i thought we could lobby congress to help laws come to pass that protects us from the criminals. i think it is not possible. so we must be perfect in the governments eyes. then Dr.Oz.

My blood pressure is normally low- 150/60, and it has been all my life, but when I started getting the back pain & sciatica, it started to read consistently high.

I also knew as soon as I saw the title what it was about. I don't care anymore if these people are drs. The bottom line is stuff like this is one of the reasons people, including other drs believe we don't need pain meds.

about 8 yrs ago I was reading some CE info and I ran across a story about a dr up north. He had been in a terrible auto accident and was in chronic severe pain because of it, he was also a PCP and in a wheel chair. He said he never really understood his patients, until he suffered from chronic severe pain. One weekend he had 3 patients end up in the hospital because of accidental OD's. The reason for the OD's was because their pain wasn't being managed properly. The dr said that it wasn't until he was in the same position that he believed what his patients said and that he understood what they meant.
