I've been told that a government mandate is causing my Pain Management Clinic to slowly stop my pain meds. Over 90 days I will have my meds reduced until I don't get any more. My friend has been on pain meds for many more years than me. He doses are much higher than mine for the same meds. He goes to a local Hospital Pain Management for his drugs. His Doctor says that they have NO plans to do the 90 day reduction. In fact, there is NO plan to change their current procedures. What's going on? Is there a Government mandate or not? If there is, why can one Pain Management Clinic and a different Pain Management Hospital have different rules? Have we the public giving our government the right to determine our individual needs for pain meds? Because our GOVERNMENT VA has mismanaged pain meds, the normal public suffers. S*** rolls down hill and the public suffers. I would think by now that everyone knows private health care is private! Please let me know about this so called government mandate!

Robert and Lindsey,

Have you found help? If so post back here so we are not worried about you!

Remember if you are asking for help you cannot put your email address.

If you need a physician you must put your location.

Sunshine,

OK let me suggest this and I hate telling you this but; you mention to him that although Oxycontin and Oxycodone work for you they can create alot of GI distress BUT together they have killed your pain adequately. Do not ask for previous dosages ok.

I will not explain why just do what I said ok. It is as if you do not want those drugs because of the side effects ok.

Why if you are on Medicaid they would begin Duragesic makes no sense. I was almost dead when a lifetime Medical Award I have was just ignored due to my medication bill (I require brand) being well over $30,000 a MONTH yep.

Honey you know I am from Jersey originally, you make me a bit homesick :)

Slyde,

I am only checking on page one, you need to give us an idea of where you are located.

That will help if ANY of us know of someone who might help you.

Mm,

Do not pressure your physician please. I ask you to go to my previous posts on this thread because I have tried to give all of you the truth, the support we need, and the tools to handle the truth that the ACA, Odumma, and the government did this.

When the CDC and FDA post these deaths they put all physicians at a medical malpractice liability so no they will not write for you and you will have to BEAR what you do get and be grateful for now.

There are no quick fixes. The sooner we get that man out of D.C. the better!

Sunshine,

Do NOT go on Duragesic patch at all if you can help it please. I was as an ultra rapid opioid metabolizer on HIGH LEVELS for over 17 years.

China has given the drug cartels the ingredients for creating Fentanyl which is a minute amount of medication and does not exist in pill form for this reason. It is appearing on the STREET killing millions; most lately in Florida and California in exact replica to NORCO and XANAX brand.

Fentanyl is the only drug keeping me ambulatory and not paraplegic for over 17 years but I am almost off it completely and suffering NEUROPATHIC pain without it and as most here know even with my life threatening diagnoses neuropathic pain is dangerous-you can fall and not feel your feet for example and my other diagnoses may be life threatening but this is one that disables many these days.

Yes, your physician can choose to give you both if they work for you.. The DEA has not changed a thing for the first time in years I COMMEND their overall efforts to protect pain patients by warning those who are fired and unable to get help to be AWARE of this killer illegal Fentanyl on the street killing anyone who takes it.

This drug was never properly evaluated. It is far too strong. It is blocking the other opioids in your body and that is why getting off it is the worst withdrawal I can describe for ya'll. I do suggest Methadone the cheapest long acting available and created under Hitler for the government is SUPPORTING ADDICTS AND MAKING US NOW ADDICTS and Methadone clinics are OPEN you will save your life if you suddenly lose a physician and are almost without medications.

They won't take a pain patient BUT you then need to say, "I will be an addict in 24 hours when my medication runs out" and that should at least save your life. Once this drug is in your system and going for a daily dose is not fun nor hanging with ADDICTS you get stable and get someone to write for you.

I wish I could be more optimistic but no Sunshine the DEA has not changed a thing since making HC a class II.

Posters,

DO NOT FIRE A PAIN doctor or you will find yourself in crisis. Scroll down to older posts to my suggestions if you find yourself suddenly without a physician and medications which can cause death from SUDDEN CESSATION!

The government is controlling physicians right now. You will not (if you FIRE a physician) see another writing your medication until a new President is elected and the insanity of paying doctors to STOP TREATING YOU stops! It is unconstitutional and illegal.

Just because a physician is found suddenly writing BEWARE for he or she may be shut down a week from now. Stay with who you have and bear this madness for a few more years. WE MUST do this together. We are all affected. There are no other options.

f100,

Absolutely not, I just know how difficult it is right now. To even think that a physician only handling the worst of Central Pain Syndrome (when intractable pain has infiltrated the brain) and has retired before will just take anyone with chronic pain is difficult.

America and government are causing millions to LOSE physicians and opioids. Doctors are paid money to fire you, and not treat you for any chronic illness. It will soon (I am told) be law that only those certified with the government will be allowed to prescribe.

In the meantime illegal and superficial information is fed to you due to government control.

This is America and the only change you will see is the next President and HE TOO will need to reverse the damage done by the ACA. That is what is killing you people and it will take several years.

f100, yes a lifetime Medical Award that until I settle is for life and won under the Supreme Court. If and when I am stabilized again after a year of near death I would like to move forward to settle this award.

Any pain Drs in pa beaver county that will prescribe pain pills only? I'm disabled, my neck is inoperable and that's the only thing that allows me to move and do things. Without it I'm worthless. I was on perc 10 mg for ovr 3 yrs and my pcp dropped them off of me for no reason. He was giving them to me so I fired him.

Sunshine, you are very lucky you found a doctor to prescribe, I think we are all hard pressed to find any pain management that are going to prescribe our previous dosages, this is nation wide, I went round and round with my doctor after he cut my dosages down, he told me I am lucky I am getting anything at all. These stories of doctors just cutting everyone off is disgusting and harmful to our health, they are all worried about loosing their licenses, it's unfortunate, I don't know what all of us are going to do.

#3707 P450,

You must have your knickers in a twist since Mr. Obama has now embraced the inevitable next POTUS MADAM MS. HILARY R. CLINTON. Thank god for the democratic process of this country when right wing idelogs like yourself would use a valid platform like the unconscionable treatment or lack there of for chronic pain sufferers everywhere. You should be ashamed of yourself. WE have enough challenges, we don't need to be schooled in your delusional pontifications. Now, Kindly enthrall us with your acumen.

Hello everyone this wacky weather here in nj is really not helping my pain.

However I was able to find pain management again and yes they do take my ins which is Medicaid / horizon no health. Very difficult to do but now since I was out of pain management for so long DEA has had a field day with regulations since then. However (this is for p450 not BL) is it a new regulation that you cannot be prescribe OxyContin and oxycodone together anymore or is it the doctors preference?? He put me back on my oxycodone of course not that same dose but also fentanyl. The doctor I saw before him was talking about changing me to fentanyl anyways but my doses are lower than what I am used to. They aren't working and on top of that I'm getting a rash where I out the patches and they don't stay either. Can u let me know how I can approach him about this without sounding like an addict?? I know what works and have been on everything so shouldn't I know best??

Again BL DO NOT REPLY I WILL NOT TAKE ANYTHING YOU SAY INTO CONSIDERATIONS

Anyone else who has any EDUCATED answers may also reply but the remarks and condescending tones will not be tolerated.

Thank you and God bless you all!!

Fire his ass get a different opinion and if needed find a local pain management. If you know any nurses that work in nursing homes or other places you might want to ask them because they sometimes deal with pain management centers that will do visits and things that nature at the clinic or nursing home I went through three pain management places before I found one that was decent I'm 8 mg Dilaudid PO q5 hours and 16 mg of Exalgo which is time-released Dilaudid

P450, is that a workers comp lifetime award? I have a lifetime pension award from the state of washington under workman comp pension fund and have been for the last 25 yrs.. My pharmacist called the state pharmacy board to ok my prescription because of the high dosage. I had not known DR. Poricelly was that old as I was given his name close to 5 yrs ago. I was just trying to help someone that sounded as though they needed some. Brett had helped me with seeing Dr T right after my son died and I wasn't able to make it to my first appt with DR T, sorry I ment no harm and didn't mean to step on anyones toes. Peace out

f100,

I did not mention Poricelli for he too is retirement age. I have been with Dr. T. since 2010 and ONLY due to the untimely death of Dr. J. Hochman, MD also a proponent of legislation along with Dr. Rose (deceased) and T. providing us with opioids for intractable pain in Texas, California, and Virginia. Currently California is the only state enforcing it but with so much innuendo and shortages (pharmacies in California shut down when out of opioids and may only open 2 weeks a month) for the State allows them only one wholesaler.

I am a WC permanent lifetime medical award and I had pharmacies I could use nationwide that protect you as a WC recipient, and provide the medications as written. However, now there is a big to do in California about using such pharmacies and why I do not know. The Court allows me under my award to use whatever pharmacy I want.

Yes, to me ruptured discs are not enough background medical for opioids especially in California. First of all most Americans are overweight, and a good PM will not unless you are actively losing weight give you opioids if you are causing your back further harm, and ruptured discs can be adjusted and relieved with PT, temporary short acting pain medication, and surgery if nerve root impingement occurs or full blown ruptures cause neurologic deficits.

I never ever refer anyone without more history.

Peace f100
