I feel so bad for you and can also relate! I have a young Doctor fresh out of Med school who does not believe in pain treatment or the Xanax that I have used for years for a multitude of issues and like you mentioned, muscles and migraine headaches which are due to a neuro disease that I have had all of my life. One of our Nation top highly recognized Psychiatrist put me on this medicine and I am now weaning off of it (slowly) because I had a convulsion when my Doctor tried to do it to quickly! I am currently being treated for pain at a pain clinic, but I know a day is coming when that treatment will stop. (They have told me that it is coming) What you describe scares the heck out of me! I had gone through a major weaning process and found myself exactly where you are which was in bed not wanting to move much. I feel so bad for you and can relate so much to your story. People are being forced to suffer now and it isn't right. My heart goes out to you. I want to say, don't give up. I was about ready to give up and was asking my husband to shoot me when I had no pain control. If you look at prior post that I made, you will see where I live and what State I came from and not everyone coming from that State is an addict. I have medical, documented proof and my Doctor thinks that swimming is the cure all. Yes, swimming does help, but when one is in to much pain to get out of bed to even drive somewhere to go swimming is something that I am sure you can relate to. There are many of us suffering and you are not alone and found a good place to talk to others that understand your situation. I do hope that the Gov't is watching and reading our post. (They watch everything) How many of them that are "able" to work even have an idea of what it is like to be put down in bed unable to function and live due to pain? Not many! I bet some of the young Doctors fresh out of Med school with this "new training" has never spent a day having true pain. The people who are involved in making these decisions to make drugs harder to get for the people that abuse them have no idea what is happening to so many who need the medicine in order to even function. I am being weaned of my meds once again and I know what will come in the future as I will be lying in bed useless to anyone including myself. I am going to do something that I never thought I would ever have to do. I am actually going to advertise for a local Doctor who has a different outlook on medicine in comparison to my young Doctor who thinks swimming is the answer to everything! Thank-you for posting! I feel your emotional pain and can relate to the physical pain. I have a huge hole (degenerative disc) in my neck and without pain control, I can not hold my head up and wear a neck brace and sometimes wear a neck brace with meds on board. This is only one of many proven and documented issues. I have proof and they still don't want to treat me. I walk in the same shoes as you often and am shedding tears for a person that I do not know. So many are suffering needlessly thanks to the people who have abused the meds and the DEA/ (Gov't) if someone is affiliated with either one and reading this, then I would like to know why we hire high end renowned, Nationally recognized Doctors that prescribe these medicines and then if one has to move to another State, why are the laws so varied from State to State in the same Nation? I even have back up letters from these highly recognized Doctors stating that I have a sundry of issues which are all substantiated on medical findings. Why did I take all of these test that cost thousands of dollars only to turn around and not be treated just because I moved to another State where people don't know me. They knew me where I came from and helped me and in my new location that was exposed on old post, there is no help and it just sickens me. All people who suffer should be able to live as much of a quality life as possible. The suicide rate will be going through the roof if you do not allow those who suffer a source of pain control. My heart bleeds for so many. Do any of you have a heart for those who suffer? Please help us! This lady has real pain that puts her in bed not able to move. I do too! My brother does! So many are crying out for help and not finding it. Your helping the people who abuse drugs, but you are not helping the people who don't abuse and need their medicine in order to function. Please take a closer look at what your doing and I do hope that someone in our Gov't has a heart, reads this and will work on a program to benefit all. Why should the people in pain be allowed to die just because others have chosen to kill themselves with a slow death called abuse. Now everyone and both ends are dying. This is not justice. We as a people need to unite and put the word out that we are sick and need medicines that are unfortunatly, abused, but we are not the abusers! Don't make the sick people continue to suffer, please. America = The land of suicide

As I said when I first joined here, I wonder how many people the Government will let die rather than take needed medication. I was just at my California Pharmacy yesterday, and although the rules have not changed like the other States, they told me people that try to get combo orders of more than one controlled substance have to drive 200 miles for their Oxy's due to my towns location hundreds of miles away from the next town. I only take Xanax and never want to fill another prescription in my life if possible. I have a moderate supply to get me through the bad times ahead. Good luck to you with stopping!!

After being on Xanax for over ten years, I am now being taken off of it which will be a long process. My Doctor increased the dosage of celexa that I am taking and I am now reducing my intake successfully at .5 mg. The younger Doctors are seeing what long term Xanax use has done to people. It causes severe memory issues and I do suffer with memory issues, but I never knew that it was my long term benzo use causing it. I plan to follow the advice of my young Doctor knowing that I would rather salvage what memory I have left. I know that I am on a long journey to go off of this medicine but knowing that many Doctors are choosing not to prescribe it due to the damage they are finding in patients who have used it a long time and knowing that it is becoming hard to obtain and using it is an emotional battle with people calling me a drug addict because I take this medicine that was prescribed for me by a Psychiatrist over a decade ago and I have never abused it and take less than what was always prescribed, I have chosen to go off of this medicine and do hope that as my panic and anxiety and neuro symptoms increase as I reduce my dosage that the Doctor will back me and prescribe something that will help. My heart breaks for so many that have used this medicine and is now being told they can not obtain it without any recourse of actions to help them which is all of you and the many others who suffer silently and for some dangerously as they are forced to go off of this medicine. I basically, want to share that personally, the increase of celexa has helped with some of the withdrawal symptoms. I hope that all of you get the help that you should get since the DEA and the Doctors have decided this is a bad drug with to many dangerous and long lasting impacts.

My pain management specialist stopped taking my insurance.
At first visit new country doctor just out of Osteopathy School says he 'doesn't believe in narcotic meds' - not a good sign for his patients. He took me cold turkey off time-released morphine I'd been on for 6 yr from Pain Mgmt Specialist. and I suffered terribly. Yet he continued my Xanax for panic attacks/anxiety.
He replaced 1 pain pill with 5 new ones including Cymbalta, Ultram, Neurontin,, Elavil, Arthrotec and a Ketamine compound cream - I'm having negative side effects from them but he doesn't care. I am in so much pain I cannot function. Some days all I do is lay in bed trying not to move. My pain is so bad I have clinched my jaws w/o realizing it and I've lost 3 lower jaw teeth cuz of it.
After messing everything up, this new doc saw me once and then stopped accepting my insurance and left me completely without a doctor, just a recommendation for next doctor not to put me back on ANY narcotics but continue meds he started - he's just a family doctor, not a Pain Management Specialist. Who does he think he is to change what 2 nationally recognized Specialists thought was right and worked for me 6 yrs? For no reason but his opinion.....
One visit with young know-it-all progressive doctor has ruined my medical regime of 6 yrs perhaps forever.. I still hurt before with the morphine 1x/day, but not nearly as much as I do now. I don't think it should be allowed but I believe it's what we'll see more and more.
I have to wonder if BigPharma has anything to do with this since so many meds replaced one. I never abused my medicine, asked for more even tho I was in pain, never ran out early, nothing to deserve such treatment after 6 yrs.. How unfair is that? Because of 1 green doctor brainwashed, I feel, by his medical school. He knew he was only seeing me once before he stopped accepting my insurance - seems almost malicious. I believe he should have just continued my meds for that month and let the next doctor, one I'd see on longer term, make those type decisions. Too late, he's got me all messed up. Very frustrating.

AND I came to him because my doctor of 11 yrs stopped accepting workman's comp, then saw this idiot once before he stopped accepting Comp - so I'll have to go to another doctor that accepts Comp. Mr. Green Doctor had nerve to mention I might be a 'doctor shopper' ? What? It's the doctors & insurance causing the uproar, not me.

BTW--
Xanax DOES help with pain - look it up, it helps relax muscles; It also helps decrease frequency of my migraine headaches, too. I can tell when I skip a dose that my muscular pain is worse.

As RN for 25 yrs I agree we've gone back 30 yrs in Pain Management. Used to watch cancer patients die in agony because doctors afraid to prescribe (or ignorant or uncaring). Then there was a big push to relieve patients' pain, no one should suffer (or we received a 'deficiency' on our inspection).
We were supposed to assess patient's pain at least every 4 hours and document what we did to relieve their pain. Now it has come full circle to allowing people to suffer, to using multiple drugs that often don't work. Being new, how do we know long term effects of combining all these new drugs? Since they don't work, I'm not taking them. I found a source for Xanax and just suffer the rest. It is so bad that if the rest of my life is to be like this, I'd rather go ahead and die. This is after 6 months off my narcotic pain med, Avinza.

They want to legalize marijuana but make it impossible to get even weak opioids for pain.
Bet celebrities and govt officials get whatever they want, whether they need it or not. We pay the price for people who want to overmedicate or get high.

I know of along--standing excellent mental health clinic where state came in and told them to switch ALL patients from Xanax to Klonopin, Ativan or the state would shut them down. My hometown is where it happened.

They've tried every benzo on me past 20 yrs and for whatever reason only Valium, Serax & Xanax work for my panic attacks. If I was still there, I'd be in big trouble, I guess.
What are non-medical people, untrained and not familiar with patients doing dictating what a psychiatrist trained for years does to patients?????

WELCOME TO OBAMACARE
THE INSANITY HAS JUST BEGUN!

Did you know they want Medicare to stop treatments like cancer, Vit B shots to people 76+ yrs old? Those 76+ must pay themselves or do without. I thought govt was going to cut fraud and waste, make Medicare more efficient to save money??? Not kill people over 76 yrs old.

I read the entire bill. You are in for many unpleasant surprises. But I'm off-target.
GOOD LUCK to everyone out there who genuinely needs Xanax or pain medication.....

Hello to you! You may have kept with my post or may not have, but wanted to let you know that with the back up of a Psychologist whom has known me for years and my Dad being a Psychiatrist who did ask my Neurologist to put me on Xanax for treatment nearly a decade ago that I am now being treated by my primary care physician. I am aware of the upgrades in all of the States and it has taken two years for me to make a medical transition from Florida to Missouri. I did receive my Xanax from the pain clinic until the DEA said that pain clinics can no longer prescribe Xanax for pain treatment. I only take two to three mg/day and sometimes not even that. It helps me to stay relaxed due to a multitude of Mus-co-skeletal, auto-immune and a life long neurological disorders. I also suffer from long term emotional and anxiety/panic attacks all which are substantiated in my long history of Medical records. I was told by several people within the Medical Community of rural America that my mistake was saying that I came out of Florida. It is just primarily based on the mind-set of people with the closing down of pill mills and such. There are not even any pill mills in the area that I came out of, but it is what people assume and think. When one say's "Florida" people automatically just assume Miami and pills mills. That is the way the thinking is in this part of our Country. I take 2mg at night to help my body wind down to sleep and the other mg is either split in half for a panic attack or to take when I am keyed up or need to relax my muscles. My long term medical issues that I have lived with most of my life feed off of each other and I need to be very careful as any kind of chemical change or humidity or pressure drop and so on will trigger a response setting me off in to a flare up and sleep is the most important thing for me and keeping my body and mind relaxed as possible is important. My Dad was a Neurologist before a Psychiatrist and knew me very well and knew what medicine would be the most beneficial for me. I have never abused it and my dosage has been the same for years. I want you to know that I did and do appreciate your reply. I wrote long vents out of desperation never realizing how difficult it would be to obtain this most important medicine in this part of the Country. I was also not stable due to the up and down chemical shifts with my young Doctor ripe out of Med School experimenting on ways to take me off of it. I found my symptoms only getting worse and had a full blown panic attack when my level was brought down only proving the need of this medicine that helps me. I truly feel bad for all of are suffering and have a difficult time obtaining this old school benzo, but for some who have taken it for years and if it works then why change something that is still working? I am totally against people who are seeking it for drug abuse and it is those people who have made it difficult for the people who need it and other meds in order to keep their bodies functioning. Shame on you and you know who you are!!!! I would give anything to be "well" and not live in a sick body. I am a 48 year old female who has lived her entire life being sick and I have been forced to live a great deal of my life on medication. My mind is young and my body is sick and I do things sometimes as if I am younger only winding up in messes buying things that I am to sick to enjoy or getting a puppy that I am sometimes to sick to care for, but she does make me smile and I do feel that with Spring and Summer that I can make it through the training, but I can only make it with a few medicines that I need to take to keep my body working otherwise, I am forced to be in bed due to a body that will not work properly without the meds! If anyone has suggestions on how someone like me having a host of complicated medical disorders can successfully live without the aid of chemicals that I have had to take all of my life then please let me know! I do not want to be on forums looking for meds and not being stable. Luckily, I am now since I do have my meds, but would love to live a life without them. Some people just might have to take meds, but what I hate is the fact that so many people assume that since you are taking controlled substances that makes you an addict which in turn only creates an emotional roller coaster when these people only see you periodically, but your family knows otherwise and people who are close know otherwise. It is sad when I have had to watch so many people that I personally know have to struggle for much needed medication in a World where controlled substances have a meaning of drug abuse in our Country when so many of us are not taking them to abuse them, but taking them out of true medical need. I was thinking about setting up my own forum on Facebook because I feel that in these desperate times that many baby boomers who have been treated for years with meds that are increasingly becoming harder to obtain will need a place where they can go to and support one another. I know first hand what so many suffer with and many suffer silently while others are not afraid to step out and say, hey, this is not right and many boomers are sick and will need Medical care in a Country that is rapidly falling apart. People always have and always will need Medical Care and one should not be considered an addict unless they are seeking these meds to abuse or take more than what they should. I am emotional about this subject and clearly outspoken as I hurt inside watching so many suffer when they should not have to. For those who read this and if you suffer just know that even though you feel alone that you are not and I do hope that the DEA sets up some type of program to allow Doctors treat their patients without the fear of loosing the license because of the feed back that they receive from the DEA. There are many good Doctors who are frustrated with not being able to take care of their patients the way they would like. As the DEA combats the war on drugs, they are often forgetting the people who are truly sick. Screen the Doctors! Screen the patients but please do not stop treating people who suffer with medical issues that they did not ask for. Find a middle ground. To many ill people are dying over this and if their not dying physically, then they are emotionally and I won't even get in to my thoughts about the mental health crisis in America? What happened with the care for our mentally ill? We are turning in to a third world country due to poor decisions when it could be so simple. President Obama and the Drug Enforcement Agency and people in the Medical field? Where are you? I do hope you read this and take action. God (my personal belief) put Medical Doctors and Medicine here to treat us and your WAR is hurting the sick and many are laying around wounded. How many of you would be interested in an online Facebook magazine where we can talk about such matters and support one another? If I see enough interest, then I may start one and I know so many on Facebook that suffer silently and maybe they could be helped just by reading words from the more out spoken. Let me know if your interested. Any of you, but drug addicts, I do ask that you refrain from interest as this is for the people who are truly medically ill.

Hi Sarah.
I have also just moved to New York and need to find a doctor who will prescribe me xanax and adderall. I have been takin this combination at the smae level for 12-15 years, for a serious nerve condition, and need to continue... but need a doctor who is in New York.
I thought, perhaps, that by now you might have found one who works well with you and hopefully would with me, as well.
If you finda moment, please email me privately, and
Thank You! TCH

My nightmare is over and want to Thank everyone who has given insights, warnings and all of the useful information that I have obtained and having people who understand my situation to vent to. I suppose I am one of the lucky ones with my Doctor seeing that I need to stay on the much needed medicine that is used for a host of neurological symptoms. West Plains is a small town and my transition took a long time. I had to take test that I already had and there is a shortage of Doctors and the demand is great in West Plains, Missouri for more Doctors if any Doctors might be reading this and need a place to set up a practice. West Plains caters to most of the Ozark region. I will not need to drive to Springfield or Saint Louis for a Psychiatrist and I finally won the trust of my Doctor. I have done my research and they are saying that some of the older patients who have been treated with Xanax for years and for me nearly a decade that these patients need to stay on this old school benzo. I will attest that even after close to a decade that it still works and treats my symptoms. I am not curable, but treatable and when I was being bounced up and down with chemical shifts and my first convulsion that scared me, I got desperate and reached out in many directions. I was born sick and have been sick all of my life and found that if trusted by my Doctor that I only need a few meds to keep me functioning. I am not an addict or someone who sells their pills and found it so frustrating that I had to prove that I was sick. I asked people in the Medical field that have known me most of my life to back me up with letters and was successful in doing so. I will be Okay now unless for some reason in the future my Doctor decides to take me off of this benzo that I have used for years. I had to learn the hard way that you don't tell Doctors that you came from Florida because they have a red flag that goes up just by the name of the State itself. I have never been in pain clinics or "pill mills" and had high end Doctors and excellent medical care and each test that I take in West Plains only verifies the accuracy of the test that I had in Florida. Sssssh! Don't say that word! If anyone attempts to take me off of this medicine again then I will demand that it be done in the hospital under closely guarded supervision. Taking this benzo for nearly a decade and then attempting to go off of it can be very dangerous. I will say that when I weaned down to a certain level before my convulsion that I was experiencing the same symptoms coming back that put me on this medicine to begin with. One of our Nations highly recognized Psychs suggested to my Neuro that I be placed on this medicine. I personally have always found it helpful in treating my symptoms and it is one medicine that I choose to stay on as long as it is available to me. I do not respond to meds the way the average person does because of the makeup of my brain chemistry and it took years to find the right medicine that would work to help me with a disabling and painful condition. NEVER to to go off of this medicine by yourself and be careful when Doctors assume that you can just go off of it easily. Remember that others were put on this medicine when it was the top medicine to use and I used it long term and you are not alone if you suffer from this battle. With DEA cutbacks and Doctors running to scared to treat their patients, we have run in to a Nationwide crisis and I am afraid that we will see many deaths from the silent sufferers who have no means of getting help whether it is to stay on the medicine or go off of it. My prayers are with all of us. Hang in there and don't give up on your fight! It took me two years due to overbooked Doctors and coming from a State with a reputation to scare any Doctor, but Doctors please remember that not every patient that comes out of the State of Florida is an addict. I came from a Doctor who kept excellent Medical records. Because it is so hard to find medicines that work for me due to my unique chemistry, I very much do want to stay on this medicine as long as I can possibly obtain it and any Doctor that has a DEA license can write for it and depending on what the medicine is used for one does not necessarily need to obtain it from a Psychiatrist. My care, support and love goes out to all of you who are suffering.

Now that I see apparently where you live, is it West Plains, MO? That looks like a very small town.
I am 63 yrs old, and, since, around the late 1970's, to
the early 1980's, any M.D. who continues to keep their patient, on any benzodiazepine, such, as Valium, or Xanax, meaning longer than 12 to 16 weeks, this has become the domain in all of the USA for Psychiatrists.
I am no M.D., but just a former twice addicted patient, to Valium, (9 yrs of use) then had to get 42 days hospitalization, "in-patient" to detox, in 1982, only
to have a slip, 12 yrs later, and, got dependant on Xanax, over a two year period, and, this time, went to a outpatient once a week 90 minute clinic, mostly for moral support, to taper down, slowly, from 6 mg a day to zero use, of Xanax, which took me 10 months to do this. Without a Registered Nurse, as my wife, on my 2nd slip, I don't know if I had the strength to taper down or not, as my marriage was on the line, over my Xanax dependency. I obtained all of my meds, from 1994, until this very day, from a M.D. with the title of a
Psychiatrist. (with the exception, of my Dermatologist, who does not prescribe me controlled DEA meds).
It appears to me a more practical solution, from where you live, would be to use your telephone, and set up several appointments, either, in the city of Springfield, or, the city of St. Louis MO, which, should have a choice of Psychiatrists. In one way, you are fortunate, did you know that MISSOURI is the only state left in the USA, without a active Prescription Monitoring Program? About 42 states are in full operation, and, the 49th state to pass legislation for this exchange of medical information law was New Hampshire. It takes about 2 yrs for each state to have the data base set up. "Therefore perhaps, it might not be necessary, to flaunt your Florida background, as you describe, in my interpretation, that, in the Midwest,
folks of all ages from "Florida" are considered addicts, due to all of the big time national publicity, about all of the former "pill mills" that existed, down there, (but no more). Florida has a active PMP data base that is loaded and reloaded every 14 days, and, it only takes two minutes, to check on any USA individual's prescription background, in already, most, of all of the USA, except, 3 to 5 states, that may, or may not have had time to implement/activate their PMP program.
In my humble opinion, I have experienced one major grand mal seizure from benzo withdrawal, and I shall never forget that, and I was a younger male then. It is awful, withdrawing, especially, too quick, too soon, without medical supervision, and, or anti-seizure meds, and, sometimes, "softer benzo's" to minimize the patient physical & psychological pain. I am not advocating "Doctor shopping" I am advocating the calculated risk, that the first Psychiatrist you interview, may not be on the same page as you, thus, after such a long drive, to Springfield, or St. Louis, one needs a back up plan. It usually takes several weeks
minimum" or longer, to set up a "intake interview" with a Psychiatrist. The average charge for the first visit, nationally, is around $250.00, and, you may, or may not get a prescription, and, a follow-up visit, if Xanax is obtained, will be down the road, in one of those larger urban centers. As a 23 yr old kid, things were very different, in the USA, as I am from the foothills of the
Applachian Mountains, and, 40 yrs ago,I could walk in to any family M.D.'s office, and obtain, any tranquilizer, or sleeping pill I ever wanted. Those days have been over, for at least 25 to as much as 30 years.................

Keyswhitedove is now Kwd. Same person! After my Doctor watched me struggle for two months to wean off of my much needed Xanax that one of the Nation's Nationally recognized Psychiatrists advised my Neurologist to put me on nearly a decade ago and my fresh out School Medical Doctor has not been successful taking me off of this medicine and has not only watched me struggle, but has also witnessed the onslaught of many symptoms that I use it for come back, she has told me to stay on it and she will writ a script. I use this for so many symptoms from anxiety and panic to social phobia to my feet and legs hurting due to an "unknown variant" of a debilitating rare form of Charcot Marie tooth to helping me sleep and the list continues. My Doctor is my only primary and although, I have asked many Doctors to please take me as a patient, each one of them say no because I am a chronic pain patient. I wrote a few long vents on here because I was desperate and seen other people out there in my situation. She told me to stay on it and that she would write me a new script, but it took a convulsion (which I have never had before in my life) for this Doctor to possibly scare herself and decide to keep me on the medicine. I will say that I feel very weak and don't have much of a fight left in me. I can only say that it took years to find the right medicine that would work for me and then I was on it for nearly a decade. When attempting to off of it, my symptoms started coming back worse than ever. She did this to me two months in a row and I feel weak and need a long serious break before she decides to conduct anymore experiences and observations. My two year Medical transfer from Florida to Missouri i and has been difficult enough. It has take a wife away, a Mother away and the person that everyone knows away as I battle for my life and they keep me so sick that I truly know what it means when someone says that they are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Before I move here, I had a life. I was a missionary and worked in the Church with children. I have always been disabled, but that does not mean that one can not live a life. I had a fun and happy life and am now sad and depressed reaching out online for help because there isn't any where I am at and no one believes anything about me because I came from Florida. Not everyone coming out of Florida is a drug addict. Some people may actually need these meds to sustain and live a quality life. They have taken away my life and maybe it is just my chemicals right now, but they have messed around with them one to many times. I have not felt right since my convulsion. It was as if I got zapped with lightening from the top of my head and made my body move and jump sporadically all over the bed. After that I came down with the flu. I have not been able to think and write the way that I normally can and just because these words are here really does not mean much knowing that I my end, I have had to go over and over each word. Truth is? I don't think I am doing so well. The last person with my condition committed suicide at the mental health center. My Doctor told me to go there! They don't want me there and said that I am to sick and that I need a Medical Doctor. They will not give me my much needed Xanax. I looked at my charts and have been on the same dose since 2005!!! My Doctor being just out of Medical School swears I am an addict when all of my long-term records she did not want to get or have which I just recently found out because she not only did not believe me or anything that comes out of Florida! I have all of my records sitting here that I bought and obtained myself. I have a long life of chronic illness and pain. How can she possibly take on one of our Nation's leading Psychiatrist? You asked how I'm doing and you got another long vent as I struggle to once again stabilize my chemicals and hope that she stops doing this. Are there any Medical Doctor's in West Plains, Missouri who will treat a patient that has a life long history of medical problems and needs a few medicines to keep her functioning? I feel like I am a nice person, but I have not even been given the chance here since day one and my family is here. Knowing that I was declining in health made me want to be closer to my family. I bought land here and have a home here and have no intentions to leave and I WILL and DO NEED long term Medical Care most likely all of my life. I only take 3 mg of Xanax total since I first was put on it and that is what I am allowed. Some days I don't take that. I just want to live and have been in a battle for my life since I got here. HELP!!! I am running on empty. Dear God, I pray for Medical help in West Plains and to be understood because as it stands, I have lost my life and have not even been able to be a Mother and I was the Mom that did it all and yes, I did it all on Xanax, but I can't function and be a Mom when tossed around from Doctor to Doctor to prove that I do indeed have the things that I say is wrong with me that are already documented. I need a Medical Doctor who is going to believe me as I have no reason to lie and just want to live, but if my life is going to be what it has become, then I question why I even keep trying so hard to put my foot forward another inch only to have a Stop sign thrown in front of it. I am very, Very SAD and I need an experienced M. D., or neurologist in West Plains, Missouri.
