SH would you share those two physicians for us here? I'm suffering right now fighting my SSD after 17 years looooong story. Wish we could do emails or something?

SH, getting treatment at a Methadone Clinic will make it impossible for you to find a Dr to treat your pain later on.

P450, there is an offset with when you receive WC and also received SSDI. The SSA laws are specific on this.

BL you are so wrong it's written in manure and now I see why people have gotten upset with you. I have been disabled since I was in my 20's. I am the rare animal who went back to school MYSELF and on scholarships raising 5 kids to get off of SSD. And WC regulations differ in every state. I had a catastrophic injury and finished my indemnity I am on FULL SSD since the late 90's I had minor children who were covered I represent myself against Attorney General's and win pro bono you know I respect your ability but I am not discussing indemnity so please don't go there with me you have a real condescending attitude. By the way who is your pain doctor in Louisiana.

BL further there is no offset if you do your business legally this is over a Director of Nursing job I had for a month and there is a SSA office in east Texas that is corrupt I am switching to Lake Charles due to this. I have NEVER had an issue with SSA and like I said I was originally disabled as a young young woman.

BL I have a 100% medical award due to WC for life that means I am SSD after WC indemnity and they must pay 100% medical any physician who gets me gets full schedule fee and my medication is 100% paid for example my normal bill was running $25,000 a month. The situation which escalated in East Texas is totally ridiculous and have contacted a Houston SSA lawyer who is emailing with me over this it will be handled. But don't presume unless someone says something this is a public posting area anyone can read it and I would never do what you imply did you do that (exactly how does it feel) I do not like to talk about ME ME ME I help others when I come on here but if I am MIA I am still seeking a physician, and by the way may have a lead from two pharmacists right here where I live she writes my priority medication for long acting, and that would be awesome.

In many states a persons SSDI will be reduced if they are also receiving workman's compensation. This only applies if the combined monthly amounts of SSDI and wc are greater than 80% of a persons predisability average earnings. In some states it is the WV that is reduced. If the SSDI reduction applies in Texas, it could result in an overpayment..Since WCMSA allocates a portion of the wc settlement for future medical related to the injury, I think that is where the confusion is.

BL I am far too educated and with superb credentials to go there with you. I suggest if you are here for the same reason I am--wherever I go I have given support and since 98 not only support but written referrals for 10,000 SUICIDAL pain patients that you do so. As it stands you oscillated all Louisiana people with your threats about Medicaid recipients. When someone asks for help it's ok to state something but to repeat it over and over becomes TROLL bearing. I recently saw the psychotic TROLL on a Florida post who was demanding oxycodone for morbid obesity--clearly her appearance on here was as a TROLL I reported over 10 posts from different handles because she was severely abusing people here for the right reasons to get help. I do not appreciate your running a summary that SH "is going to methadone clinic" and P450 is doing such and such it's going to chase people away not help them. I clearly know the regulations; I'm a federal regulation expert, and clearly have knowledge and credentials that due to this venue and the lack of email allowed do not want to go further. Why you think you have the need to STAND OVER people makes no sense to me. You are not a lawyer they would never speak down to those with IP.

Who are you using for PM in Louisiana? That is a question you are not willing to answer are you. If that is the case what benefit are you giving to those here in need (NONE)? Are you some type of site monitor I don't think so I've seen someone post on email policy and they do so in bold font.

The benefit you could give other then your own experiences is who your physician and whether or not he/she is taking new patients.

Or are you someone just watching those in pain suffer?

Pain management drs rareky, if ever, will treat a patient that has been in a Maintenance Treatment Program for opiate addiction. Methadone clinics treat addicts not chronic pain patients. Many people aren't aware of this.

With the education and experience you say you have, you should be able to find a Dr to treat your pain in your home state.

BL that is something I already posted do you think that is why I had to go to California for 5 years you are wrong--people like I die from Central Pain Syndrome; I had 19 hospitalizations in house in 2004 they did not know why I kept going to hypokalemia and CRF well it was intractable pain killing me. We need to look at the medical issue that now exists for MANY years pain was not treated as a diagnosis thank God it is now and you still have physicians who attempt to treat FM with antipsychotics and cold medicine or worse saying it's nonexistent (it is), but also if it is a symptom on the worse end terminal cancer or due to impending renal failure and low potassium (K+) pain takes many forms I do agree. That is why I'd never do that for I will need pain management for life in fact I'd like a pump at this point for you need less opioid and with the FDA fence we are on it would help a few who require high levels. So you have a physician and trust me I'm going to use SSA in Louisiana the local one here is fraudulent let's leave it at that :)

BL but at the end when a pain patient is on his/her last rope I do refer them to a methadone clinic and if doing a professional referral with my signature and license signed at the end ask "please get this legitimate pain client to a pain management clinic within your area asap they are here only because we could not replace their physician" then I advise the party not to include this in their next PM visit unless specifically asked and then I allow them to call me. Right now I could not provide that service I will be up to my neck finding a doctor immediately, I have a lawyer I am speaking with on the other matter, and so on we cannot share email addresses which is a negative. {edited for privacy}. I have not lost one person to suicide yet but I must take care of me too.

P450 I have been reading your posts and find the syndrome very interesting. I am a nurse also but am unfamiliar with this condition. I am aware everyone metabolizes hings at a different rate, requiring different doses for different patients.Some requiring more meds than others.The articles I have read do talk more about responses to psych meds. Would love to have more info on this and how you were diagnosed.

I have an incurable health condition which I would rather not mention and three other very painful health issues and have been suffering for the last 20 years. The only med that I was ever able to get was Tylenol #3 (such a joke). I moved to Arkansas and was actually able to find a Pain Management Specialist who was kind and compassionate. He was very good at titrating and maintaining...definitely NOT a quack. He put me on Percocet and a low dosage of unbuffered hydrocodone (as needed). I had to move back to California and if you live here, FORGET IT IF YOU WANT ANYTHING STRONGER THAN TRAMADOL!!!! Most of them will profile you as a "drug chaser" and practically throw you out of the office. You have to be in the hospital or a hospice or a nursing home to get pain meds..that actually relieve you of your pain. I do love California but the health system here is atrocious. I've been here now for 3 years and there are no Pain Management specialists like that good doctor back in Arkansas. I have not been able to find any in my area. I am old and very ill. I don't have a lot of years left. Someone like me who is so sick and elderly and they are afraid that I will get addicted?? LOL. So what? Back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, most doctors were compassionate and treated you like a real person and not just a dollar sign. If you have chronic pain, don't move to California.

P450, point is that Methadone Clinics do not treat chronic pain patients for their pain. A letter you or a Dr writes doesn't mean a patient will be treated for their chronic pain and not addiction. It isn't a Methadone Clinics job to find pain.management for anyone. They may tell the patient they are treating their pain, but that is not what records show.

Are you having difficulty finding a pain Dr because of the meds you state you need or because of the wc paperwork? I thought it was the meds but then I read where you said the last Dr you saw wouldn't fillout the wc paperwork.

BL let me make this clear the LIFE of a pain patient comes FIRST to me. You do and say what you like I have a license that I stand by when Dr. H. died we had 300 in his practice around the country; we lost 3. One physician wrote or offered pro bono for one month--3 could not make it to Texas it was not their time to visit and had no travel funds. I'd rather a pain patient went to a methadone clinic and LIVED and identified his/her true nature so they are not treated like an addict. You are callous at times.

Both in my case. Either throw a referral or don't bother with me I am sure I've done more to help anyone reading my posts then not.

To P450 from SH.

I am now in preparation for beginning the methadone program in Virginia. They require 4 wks of treatment readiness group meetings. It is for opiate addicts. But, when I had no insurance, the Dr prescribed methadone. When I got disability, it was t continued by pain management. Took it 13 yrs. As I told you before, I got a pump, became psychotic, took 2/3rds of a prescription of methadone, and was released.

I did take the medicine, and played it up to get in the methadone clinic. That was one too many medication errors. I am glad I had some left while I was without a pm dr. That event left me out of 2 pm drs in Virginia that prescribe meds. There is another group, too. So for those near Va Beach, there are 3 Dr groups that use meds as part if an overall pm program. The 3rd group I went to on the pump; released me for a non therapeutic relationship / overuse of resources. They are in Portsmouth. The truth was there were no more pump drs except in Richmond Virginia and beyond. But, if you have a long history of chronic pain and meds, it may be difficult to be accepted. Five trips to ER has gotten me a flag, I believe. They wouldn't give me a shot last time, saying will drag out withdrawal. I asked how was I to deal with pain? Go to pain management, they said. Anyway, my insurance does not cover the methadone, will cost $180/Mth. That is what I am doing for pain right now. Thanks for the suggestion. Come to Va Beach, p450
