Beaumont is where I Was going to suggest. A dear friend of mine has cancer and he's on a lot of medications. I used to pick them up running everywhere and I stopped in there and it's amazing. They...
Hi... I'm in MI too. Are you having trouble at a specific store because I haven't heard or witnessed any issues personally except with Walgeens who has become a bit of a pain to deal with, in...
Hello... I also have chronic pelvic pain and stage III endometriosis and I am on 50 mg of Elavil at night. I'm also on 25 mcg fentanyl patch (changed every 48 hours) and 15th Oxycodone for BT pain....
I'm glad your surgery was successful... I have stage III and despite six surgeries I still have it. It's usually microscopic so they aren't able to get it all when they clean it up. It's now growing...
I think this may be a spam post to get us to go to that website. Those prices are extraordinary and usually aimed at people trying to get meds illegally without a prescription. I wouldn't suggest...
Chart... my son has asthma and I know how expensive those inhalers can be. We found them cheapest at Costco... they were two for $25. I hope you are able to get it!...
It's super freezing here and we've already had snow (blah) but since I know this is my last winter for a while... I'm okay with it! :-) Nothing bug happening this week. Just working and trying to...
Hi Susie!! I am almost 99% certain we are going... I'm going to try to transfer to an office in Florida. I gave him the information to the PC board here and told him what a great support this board...
I go to PM for pelvic pain and endometriosis and I've never had a pelvic exam done there! They work with my OB/GUN for that part of my treatment. I definitely would be concerned and if I were your...
Hey Merrida!! So proud of you for becoming a mod... you offered such great advice to all of us here. Becoming a mod seems like a natural step for you. How are you? Right after I posted tragedy struck...
It's so good to see you!! It's like coming home again. :-) Susie, I changed to a completely different career field. I work for Enterprise in Fleet management. The mortgage industry was too volatile...
Thanks Chart! I never thought I could ever do something like that but we did it! It felt amazing! If it weren't for my pain management it never would have happened. I wish they'd focus on stories...
Hi everyone... long time, no see. After my sister died earlier this year I kinda went through a mild depression. Right after she died my daughter broke her arm and had to have a metal rod put in her...
Hi! It wasn't a physical blockage but there was some reason that things just were NOT moving. They had to give me a barium enema just to stop the pain and remove the stool. It was some of the worst...
Cinfullofangel, I'm so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your pain. If you need an ear, a friend to pray with... Someone to shoot the breeze about...
Ask your doctor about a drug called Linzess. when I was hospitalized with similar symptoms and constipation in my large intestine (so high up there we couldn't even manually reach it)… the GI doc put...
Sounds like that suspect doctor I saw... I say run, run right back to your PCP and get a new referral. I hope it works out this time....
I always just tell my PM what is going to be happening and he'll give me an increase in meds for the procedure... Or if it requires something stronger than what I'm on, he gives the doctor or dentist...
Still praying for you... Love you Susie...
According to WebMD this is the way its typically done. http://www.m.webmd.com/women/endometrial-biopsy?page=7...
When I had my uterual biopsy and endometrial biopsy they did not give me pain meds either... Told me to take four Advil ahead of time. That is some of the worst pain ever! I wish they could make a...
My pain is noticeable constantly... Its worse in the morning for some reason. It it's always there....
I got the job!!...
I had an amazing interview today... I was referred by a friend who works for a huge company for a position that was customer service based (my forte) and she simply gave the recruiter my resume and...
Hey, we're hanging in here. I actually feel better emotionally althoughour situation hhasn't improved much. But I know it will. My faith is in full force! My life is about to get to the good part....
Hi All, Thanks for the love and prayers .. And thank you for checking on me Vickie. I was pretty low right when you emailed me so I think you were Heavensent, just like this website. My life is...
You're a moderator now? Congratulations! They picked a wonderful, compassionate woman to moderate!...
Hey, I just saw this... I'm sorry for making you worry....
Thanks Merrida... There is more going on that I haven't gotten into but those are the two biggies. I miss you guys a lot... I'm laying in bed today and not moving so hopefully I can catch up on your...
Oh No, I pray everything is okay. I hope things are better than okay and she's celebrating and taking care of her brother. Thank you for posting for a prayer request Vickie. :-(...
After the hardest funeral I've ever had to go through my daughter fell and broke her arm... I rushed her to the ER and they sent us home saying it was broken and no reduction was required... Well boy...
I will... I'll be okay. My heart is just broken. I just came from an appointment with my new PCP and she prescribed Valium to help me with the crying. My blood pressure was pretty high and I was...
Hi, Merrida, thank you for checking on me. I'm not good. This grief is deep and endless, so it seems. I'm sure time will change some of that but right now I am crying most of the days away. The...
Thank you all for the hugs and posts. I am numb right now and really, really shocked. I feel like I'm in a fog or a dream. I am definitely going to seek counseling if I can find someone who will take...
I am so numb... My sister killed herself last night. I knew she had a lot of physicalppain but I had no idea she was depressed. I've heard of a link between the two. I'm sorry if this is off topic, I...
Hi, Try to calm down...stress isn't good for either of you. And congratulations on the new addition! We do have members that have been pregnant and on medication. I'm sure they'll be around soon (or...
Hi! I'm on Amitriptalin (sp?) And I take 50mg every night before bed. It works really well for me. I'm sorry you are in so much pain, I hope they find a tx plan that helps you! Linds...
Daria, I'm so sorry you feel so badly. I agree with calling your doctor. Also, hot showers and immodium should help. Immodium is an opiate itself but it doesn't cross the pain receptors in your brain...
Hi Respect4all... Its not that we aren't helpful, we just aren't able to help in the way you want us to. We don't have a way to reach Doc Holiday either as there is no email address visible in his...
I agree with Chart. After being on oxycontin for over half a year I had a bad stomach reaction to one of the fillers and landed a five day stay in the hospital with horrible stomach pain. Please get...
Oh, I'm so sorry... I thought I read that you were changing pain doctors... You are sticking with the same one and trying to change the plan. Totally disregard my previous post because it doesn't...
Can you call the old doctor and ask what they suggest you do? How did you get the Butrans patch... Is it an old prescription or someone else's? When I was between doctor's and couldn't pick up my...
Hey Vickie! :0) On Health grades it shows sanctions and board actions from the past.... What board are they talking about? And I didn't really the AMA has ratings on each doctor! I'm going there now....
Wow Mike! I'd never heard of vitals before... I saw this doctor earlier this month and I told everyone here about how I didn't feel he was very professional. I just checked out the website you...
Hi Sean, You are right, the comments are by patients, I just can't find them. When I filled out one I wasn't even asked for comments... Just grading on the five star system. The thing I'm wondering...
I'm glad you've found what works for you, Alcie! I'm a very nice and considerate person and I don't deal well with with condensending personalities and I've come across quite a few doctors that way....
I can't seem to find the comments section... It just shows how manyrreviews it received and different categories with a five star rating. I gotta figure out how to see what folks are actually saying....
They took a photo of me... That way if I come for my scripts they can ensure its me that is getting them even if they don't know me personally. My PM in Florida did that too. I wouldn't be worried!...
I interviewed a new PCP on Monday and was very satisfied... She actually meets with new patients before becoming their PCP as a rule and didn't charge me any thing for the 30 minute chat. I have...
Mike, I had it turned off before for privacy reasons. I made it visible again specifically for Amanda. When you checked it was either before I made it visible again or the change wasn't effective...
