Why Was I Taken Off Of Soma For My Pain? (Page 2)

I've decided at my next Dr. appt to ask for my Soma back. I have a certain bone disease, and the only thing that helped the awful pain from it was Soma. I'm tired of being in pain & if the Soma is the only thing that helps, then why deny me the Soma that are completely legal? Enough is enough!!! If he denies to re-prescribe it, then put me back on Oxycontin 80mg a day. Does anyone know why so many people I know can't get their Soma either??

Have you looked into seeing two different doctors ? A Pain Management Doctor and a Psychiatrist. The reason the country charge for you seeing one of their doctors was so much is due to income and resources. The fact you have insurance could also be a factor.

You mentioned your SSDI application. Were you approved ?

Hi BL, no I've given up on that but if I was to win there would have been a 60% offset due to my Retirement pension. Medically I'm cool, just reporting what was available in my remote area when I needed help. I then got hit by a Semi Truck so the amount I might have got from SSDI wasn't as important anymore. Plus you have to have 40 Credits in the last 10 years to even qualify for SSDI which I didn't!

YOU are full of ...baloney. This "pain med" issue started under the obamler regime. This has been an ongoing issue and to blame any one party is just insane. In Florida in 2010 the State was known as a "pill mill State". The obamler regime's DEA came in and started closing them down and the State legislature passed numerous laws to get the situation under control. It is the liberal hate groups that are suing the manufacturers and pharmacies in an effort to stop the production of pain meds from being manufactured and sold. They are filing numerous frivolous legal suits that they know are unwinnable but they figure they can cause the manufacturers and pharmacies to spend millions in defending them and when the Court orders the filers of these frivolous legal suits to pay damages and attorney's fees they just go bankrupt and pay nothing. The result is many manufacturers and pharmacies will have just gotten out of the business altogether. This problem has NOTHING to do with the present administration of President Trump. If he was so "anti drug" he would close down all of these illegal marijuana shops that were established illegally. NO STATE can just vote in anything that they like as the Supremacy Clause in the United States Constitution prevents any State from enacting or passing any law that is in violation of Federal law.

Try Miltown 400mg. They are just like Soma. Meprobamate. That’s the name of it.

Miltown was a 70's medicine, in fact Soma breaks down into the active ingredients of Miltown in the Liver. That is why you can't easily obtain either one

Sure States can do what they have done with legal and medical Marijuana. Why you sound like Jeff Sessions, I'd like to see that little Pencil of a Man change anything, he can't? That reminds me need to go to the dispensary soon!

You are so wrong. States CANNOT “do anything they want”. For those same people who understand what the Supremacy Clause in the United States Constitution is we know better. While all of these dope-fiend houses voted in could be shut down overnight the present administration is allowing a Court case to go through the Federal Courts where the law will be upheld. Who will you blame then? You can’t make up your own rules as you go.

Soon Canada will be legalizing it as well. In Nevada you can pay someone for sex legally; for a time you could only gamble there. 30 States have medical marijuana programs and many have total legalization like we do here in the Golden State. Cannabis is better than pills, try some today!

Re: EDDY (# 28)

You can post nonsense until you are blue in the fingers and face. Unless LAWS are changed (and NOT on just a State level) then you have squat. When this case reaches the SCOTUS it will make ALL marijuana sales illegal (except for a few medical uses and then that will not mean smoking marijuana.) What will you do then? When BY LAW all retail marijuana shops are closed down? You had better get to Congress and change the law because that is what you are going to have to do. I could care less what they do in Canada. THAT is their business. We still have the Supremacy Clause in the United States Constitution. Look it up because you are oblivious to what it says. BTW, just SAYING something does not make it so. You are in such a state of denial on this issue. Good luck because you are going to need it. Just because obamler told the DEA to stand down and not enforce the law does not mean that it will stay that way.

In order to be eligible for SSDI and Medicare you must have at least 20 work credits for 5 out of the past 10 years prior to your Established Onset Date. An adjudicator or ALJ decides your Established Onset Date. It may or may not be the same as your Alleged Onset Date.

You got the minimum 40 work credits over a life time required for Social Security Retirement mixed up with the minimum 20 credits in the past 10 years for SSDI.

Because they metabolize into something, forget what, but it's an old narcotic if I'm not mistaken. So docs are of course getting flack. I know a couple people in same situation. Looks like the bs opioid epidemic (give me a f*# n break) is successful in creating misery & probably causing it to snowball in a different demographic. I know I did what I had to do, & it was successful in my being able to tolerate physical therapy which I fully believe is the most helpful for musculoskeletal disorders and injury, a good therapist is a must and your own full participation. When the docs tried wielding their power, I had no use for the bullcrap so took care of it my way. I used the meds as opposed to abusing & am pretty much on the path to wellness again. I don't need the meds anymore, other than OTC some days
