I understand the reasons. If I can barely get what’s needed for handling My Pain the is no way in he!! I’m going to part with My “allocation” of Meds.
There is no amount of money that I would take for even 1 of My pills. I take them with Me when I leave the house. If I’m in possession of them then I know where they are and they can’t be stolen.
I would gladly put a round or two of ammo into anyone that would try to take My pills away.
My solution to the “Opioid crisis” is Street Junkies get caught they get one freebie to detox after they get out of jail for the first offence. If they get caught again I’ll donate the round of ammo to shoot and kill them. They will end up dead anyway so Society can just go ahead and speed up the process. It costs way less than NARCAN does.
I saw a Pic the other day of a Sign Board that said:
How is it that My Diabetes Drugs cost $750.00 a month but Drug Addicts get NARCAN for FREE !?
Back to the testing. The CoC (Chain of Custody) is Important. That’s what makes the results valid.
There is a better CoC for a Public Drinking Water System Bac-T (Bacterial Testing) than at My Pain Clinic for a Piss Test. How do I KNOW that the Lab didn’t swap or cross up or cross contamination My and/or Somebody else’s sample ?
My eldest is on Metformin, pays $4 month co-pay at Walmart, gets his test strips there too.
I had to take my BS for 6 months for the Gastropresis, Test strips were $85 for 100. That is what Medicare/Tricare Life is charged, not that is what they pay. Some one is using the 400% mark up.
Saw the new Cornea doc yesterday, I don’t have ripples on the corneas the Oil glands in the eye lids are clogged up. Which the intern now Cornea Doc this new 1 failed to tell me. But he’s got a new Gadget he’s trying to sell at $950 that is rechargeable, has silicone tips, and will go up your nose and open the glands. Tips have to be bought monthly at $50 a box. They are detachable, wash well with alcohol or peroxide and very warm soapy water would work a lot cheaper. The OLD FASHION way is a rice bean bag you heat in the microwave and use a wet wash rag for moisture to open the glands, it works, $3 bucks worth of rice sewn in a piece of cloth.
Miss read my med list, lumped the TAKE AS NEEDED with the daily, and said I was ADDICTED to VALIUM. DID YOU NOT READ THE HEALTH LIST? Restasis has NO SIDE effects, BS Side effects mimic DRY EYE. Little known fact it will hit GI and autoimmunes and flare them. Not all patients are ‘average’.
Said the Lomotil 2.5 mg causes Gastropresis...Where did you get that garbage from? I had GP over a year before I had my first Lomotil tab. They are a AS NEEDED to avoid a ER Trip, as is the Phenergan and NyStop. THEY ARE NOT DAILY MEDS.
Would not listen that the Valium treated 4 health issues after going through 14 other horrid drugs for FMS/Neuropathy.
