REPORT

P450 Metabolizer, you are so right about Dr. T only taking patients that are in an emergency situation as I was when he saw me. Then when he got me stabalized he referred me to DR. HY, and I know that Dr. T is very busy trying to help people such as yourself and others who are in need or would die otherwise. Dr. Hy is a very kind and understanding Dr. But as with any Dr. that treats intractable pain patients you have to follow all the rules he needs you to follow or he will let you go as a patient. There is one other Dr. in pomona other than Dr. Costllo and his name in Dr. Porcelly and he is part of the network you mentioned. I got these names from Dr. T when he was helping me find a Dr. to free up some time for the more urgent patients. God Bless.

Posters,

I did not raise heck on this post to see no replies; most here who are regulars know who I am and due to my own poor health and massive changes in medications (due to the government leaving loop holes under the ACA and running your physicians also giving them financial incentives to fire you) so avoid posting daily--with my massive allergies and DNA defects in metabolizing opioids I am a veritable time bomb and suffering side effects that may outweigh some of my medication changes...

We cannot force physicians to go back at this time. For those who do have a conscience their profession, and finances will always outweigh our outcome. I am sorry to tell you that anyone who thinks their pain specialist is a parental figure, will do anything including going to prison (Dr. Bill in federal prison in Virginia years ago is a prime example) are mistaken and wrong.

The advice I give you is to maintain pride, dignity and decorum until we are able to obtain proper help. It will take ridding ourselves of Obama and his rigged regimen, and putting for profit medicine back in America that is WHY we cure diseases and have medications that cannot be obtained or competed with anywhere in the world!

Safe tapering is to save your life. That doctor who wrote you consistently for 9 years will save his license and bank account FIRST not write your pain medications it won't happen! Getting angry, not showing up for a UA, refuting the Pain Patient's Bill of Health won't do you any good and if anything will get your rectum literally booted out the front door.

Dress professionally and stay calm. Be prepared for greatly reduced dosages. Keep a pain journal daily which I've outlined repeatedly. Make your physician take a copy for your chart monthly. Include other methods of controlling pain (other then drugs) throughout the day and use the 1 to 10 pain scale measuring the pain at least hourly the first week or two on a new medication and at least 4 times a day throughout the month. Chart things like 'took a hot bath up to neck for 15 minutes at 10 a.m.,' 'did stretching exercises 10 minutes,' attempted walking to post office box two times this week. These are credible efforts that will save your physician and you if the DEA comes in on complaints.

If a physician is writing you high levels currently be prepared for he or she to go belly up shortly and be prepared to not have a physician. Refer to my emergency Methadone clinic plan if you are on long acting opioids and use whatever it takes to get your life saved.

This president would rather cater to addicts then pain patients remember this. This is why we have been put essentially into a huge Hitler grave by this i****. All he wants is a can of gasoline and a match to burn us alive.

I would like to hear back from those who are regulars here and the Virginia pain patient and Charlie in California.

Peace.

Posters,

We have been in a CRISIS for well over 2 years now. Some are just finding it out now as their physicians are discharging them without cause, OR suddenly refusing to fill opioids for intractable pain.

Our scientific knowledge SHOWS and has proven via statistics that opioids are the SAFEST method to control intractable pain. It allows better rehabilitation for new injuries, less divorce and family break up and longer life span. HOWEVER, the government has INTERVENED by allowing the FDA and CDC to publish overdose and death results blaming opioids.

This led to reduced morphine equivalent suggestions.

Your physicians then faced LIABILITY or malpractice if you broke your pain contract, and or died or had complications so instead of continuing you or facing medical board (within the state) and DEA mandates they cut you off cold; the rare cases like me are dying and have died.

The truth is the statistics of death by overdose were of ILLEGAL USE of prescription pain medications. Either obtained on the black market or the rare pain patients who sell their drugs or part of them have HURT all of us we are dying we think.

It is important to taper properly if you are on long acting opioids. If you have lost your physician and are on long acting patches, morphine, or oxycodone (if you are facing a sudden cessation) get to the nearest Methadone clinic to save your life. No they do not take pain patients but addicts and the government will allow illicit drug addicts to have their Methadone.

Methadone is the cheapest long acting pain medication known to man and it will save your life rather then die of sudden cessation.

If they say you are not an addict nod your head and state 'I will be within 24 hours for I have no medication and will have to abuse to save my life' which will categorize you for treatment. You will need to go daily at first and during this critical time when you are stable (Methadone has a slow pass and it takes weeks for those like us to adjust you cannot increase too fast or death will occur) find another physician and...

Dress professionally and do not pressure the doctor. Take what you can to maintain until we have a new leader in D.C. and this insanity reverses government in our great country never controls physicians! But this is happening now and we have a rough few years to hold onto here and do what we can to get by.

Treatment centers will not want you they will tell you that long acting opioids are too high risk they will not allow you in for you are not an addict! I am telling you this to save your life.

There may be a time very soon if a physician who is not government certified prescribes long acting he can lose his license so the few who can write are very rare and far between.

I am trying to help. No hysterics, no drama, no tears it does not matter if your G.I. tract is bleeding on the floor, these physicians FEAR FINANCIAL LIABILITY and losing their licenses let this pass when America returns to her glory and rightful place.

The bastid in office did this to us to pain patients and the chronically ill. Doctors are paid financial incentives to STOP treatment now of those who are not cured. ER's will not give you opioids and you will go bankrupt paying for a visit under the ACA.

Ruptured discs won't get you opioids you must have serious, incurable pain to be seen by a physician who might write these drugs and then you will also be used as a research object for many new drugs some of which have deleterious side effects. The government is trying to stop all pain management and it won't work but you cannot hire a lawyer to fix this in fact you won't get help.

This is a D.C. issue that was planned years ago. I am guiding you to live through this last year I near died and I have 3 Court Orders one I won under the Supreme Court. Yet they were trying to off me due to the COST of Duragesic and I suggested Methadone the cheapest known to man to save my life. My journey is underway dear friends.

I have since my injury referred over 10,000 suicidal pain patients around the world including countries that disallow opioids. Lucky for the wealthy that they were able to get from places like India to England where I got them help. They like me were dying, and today my list of physicians has gone from over 400 to less than 4. No one has a guarantee.

Stay calm and take heed. I am an ultra rapid metabolizer my drug bill was over $30,000 per month. My life to these people under my LIFETIME MEDICAL AWARD meant nothing and I caution you to take my advice.

Peace...

Mad,

I would appreciate it if you kept BL's comments away from me.

First of all anyone here knows that I am legitimate including the owner of the site who has my medical license and credentials.

Second if Charlie has ruptured discs he does not have Central Pain. Dr. T. is very specific at this time and I know this hands on first thing. I just returned from his office several days ago. I am not BL and that is the worst, most insulting thing said to me.

Dr. T. and his wife retired years ago before I went to him due to the death of my pain specialist also a high end doctor died. I am forced to go to the best for Central Pain kills literally and you do not want to flood Dr. T. with patients he does not take when someone is in immediate need. The physicians I provide are also in the San Gabriel Pain Network.

Good day!

You must be so severe with Central Pain and other complications to evaluate with Dr. T and no approved pain specialists are allowed to do ultra high opioids due to the government interventions at this TIME.

Charlie, don't pay attention to the naysayers. Try Dr. Tennant anyway.

Bl, unless you have something positive or kind to say, stay the hell out of here. You're not welcome and your not wanted!

Posters,

I just reviewed an older post; wrong... You sign a contract for what opioids have as side effects. On the other hand steroids and epidural injections DO CAUSE DAMAGE and a physician cannot promise you that on a contract. Please IGNORE the devil and it will go away...

Charlie,

I have been with Dr. T. since 2010. Presently he is only taking those with severe incurable Central Pain Syndrome and Arachnoiditis and potentially is working within a network. I would suggest Dr. Hy for you. He is also in the San Gabriel Network, and works with Dr. T., he is young in his 40's.

Peace

Virginia poster,

Dr. Balint may be retired but was in with another physician in Balint Clinic Weyers Cave, Virginia. They do write opioids although please read my other posts on ACA and what is going on. Virginia has gone butt ugly overturned killing people in pain. I hope that helps. Please post back so we know your outcome. Run that name, they were a neurology group.

Posters,

The ACA is paying physicians incentives to let chronic patients of any caliber die. I am telling you hold tight, do not get fired. Let's get a new president and reversion to proper medical regimen. I know as most here know I have since my injury referred 10,000 plus suicidal pain patients internationally and here as well as a professional nurse and published researcher!

Hang together, hang tight.

I apologize, with massive medication changes I have not been on. If you IGNORE the devil it cannot blind the light. IGNORE IT and it will go somewhere else.

Surely you all know whether or not someone hurts you that stress increases your pain.

Physicians CAN for now fire anyone.

Odumma will be gone and we will go back to scientifically proven therapy for pain but for now ACCEPT what you can get. These doctors are under liability due to CDC and FDA recommendations.

No pushing no demands you will be FIRED and most here know what I have done and gone through up to winning in the past few weeks in the SUPREME COURT but having gone through a year left to die not by a doctor but by a systems loophole under the ACA.

Let's hold tight and be the decent people we are. And ignore the mouse, it will scurry away once starved of conflict.

PEACE out...

There is no reason why people should feel angry or hurt on this site. Lynx thank you for putting BL on the spot and knocking him or her off their soap box. People like them are why we are having trouble getting the treatment we deserve so go somewhere else with that attitude. I'll pray for you so someday you will have the compassion to understand. God help you if your ever in the position we are and need help. God says your reap what you sow so to everyone on here trust God. He has it under control. God bless you all!! :-)

Lynx, Im so glad you called Bl out on his comments and his disrepect to all of us that suffer with pain every day 24/7. I've wanted to do the exactly the same as you have done. God bless you for all us that suffer and to the hell with Bl and no one should pay any attention to him as that is what he wants to get people to talk about him so he can feel good about his self. Which is probably pretty low considering the way he belittles everyone on this site. good for you and many thanks from all of us that he has done it to.
