Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 180)
(Newest replies first)

I have a serious problem. My dr. had two patients start dr. shopping and has decided it is too big of a pain in his butt to continue prescribing, even though I have gotten MRIs and Xrays to prove my problems. I have over a half a dozen herniated discs in my low back, along with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis in my facet joints. I am currently on5 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough and 60mg of methadone for my long lasting meds. I REALLY need a doctor in the Denver, CO area who will not judge me because of my age, thinking I'm just some drug seeker as I TRULY need my meds to function. I am even being placed on disability until I can get my back healed because if something doesn't change I will be in big time pain for the rest of my life. If ANYONE knows of a good doctor that prescribes strong meds willingly in the Denver area please let me know. I am in desperate need of help as I am going to be SCREWED if I cannot find a good doctor. SOMEONE please help me with a doctor!!!!!

That's what it is, a good day gonna go bad LOL
Rainbow,
Aren't grandchildren the most wonderful thing there is? No matter how badly I feel, I always love to see them. Sometimes I can't do as much as I would like, but they always make me feel better than I did before they got here. I don't remember that my kids were as much fun LOL.
Someone told me that grandchildren are the "circle of life"
Yep, good day gone bad, lol. Crammed as much as I could in to it, now it's time to recuperate.
All stil at home and help alot n thank you its hard but its a good break up nt hard and horrible my son and daughter wil both ve graduate from concord 1 is a Pa or MA assistant the other criminal justice n help me daily just like the younger 1s do and my grandson he my side kick u see me u see him
Cindy,
So did you over do it on a good day? That's what I always do. We need to come up with a name for over doing good days. Something that reflects that we don't want that good day to ever end and that we are aware we are going to pay tomorrow LOL.
Rainbow,
So sorry. Long time ago, I was married for 14 years and we got divorced. It's a hard thing when you've been with someone that long. They become a huge part of you, not just a part of your life.
Your children and grandchildren still at home? Ours are all grown. But next week two of the grandkids are coming to stay the weekend. I just love that. So I got to plan ahead next week, to be sure I don't do anything to cause a set back with them due. We plan their visits for when my husband is home, for just in case I'm not able to handle it.
Rainbow I'm sorry. You sound like you are doing a great job of holding it all together
CoSusie I simply overdid it and took myself out for a day, lol. Every day I swear I'm gonna sit on my butt on my heating pad and it never happens, life seems to take over, lol.
I'm glad you got your meds and you are starting to feel better.
Im doin good and sometimes that happens 2 me but I think monday id I can add a dose or sumthin else I wk 2 jobs each.day from 9:30-4:30 then 2nd job is from 5pm 10pm and its jusy me and my 5 kids and a grandbaby and im tired and I hurt plus startin a divorce process after we were 2gether 16yrs
It's been totally silent. Is everyone doing OK?
Finally got my meds on Monday, so started feeling better today. It makes me mad that it seems like I can never stay on a level plane. Something is always going on with my medication that screws me up, then it takes days, if not a week to get back feeling somewhat decent again.
Cindy and Smalls AKA,
Thank you so much. That's exactly what I'm looking for!! It seems so simply brilliant, and you would think someone would think of it on their own, but that's the brilliance of it. Divide the work up so it's a manageable amount (just looking at a large mess can fatigue me LOL). Then because you are absolutely right that it's seems to be a mess the day after you clean it, go back to that room!!
I have gotten so angry about cleaning, it really hasn't been fair to my husband. But it takes so much of my effort, I have to force myself, then the next day it looks as if I hadn't touched anything. Thank you and anytime you notice yourself doing a small thing to save effort, please share it with me.
CoSusie, I'm sorry about your med problem. This is absolutely unacceptable. My insurance also counts how many days it's been and uses some type of formula for determining how many days in advance (none) I can get a script filled before I run out. I wish the people writing these stupid rules would walk one day in my shoes without pain meds and I guarantee you that rule would be changed, lol.
It's really nice to have others who understand what's it's like to have something of a good day and you try to get as much done as you can because you never know when you'll have another one. My family yells at me that I'm doing too much, yet they don't understand . I also have 2 teenagers who do nothing to help me. My hubby pitches in but he also works full time and pulls as much overtime as he can as I've been disabled since 1996 so we need that income. I break the housework down and do certain things on certain days, like today I cleaned the kitchen,dining and living room. That's the only system I've gotten to work for me.
Anonymous I know it sucks to be in pain all the time but please don't wish for death you do have people who care for you and that loss would devastate them.
When I asked the administrators to step in and help with all the" trolling" we had going on, I also asked about a closed group. That is something they might have available in the future as other people have also asked about it.
I'm available by email to anyone who wants to chat that way also. :)
Let's try to get back to the awesome helpful group that Mac originally started!

Me too CO Susie. thats messed up!!
I've been up three nite straight , I'm starting to see crap
Thank you very much CO SUSIE, I really appreciate that.
To reply to your previous post, one thing I was taught by my son was always start cleaning, where you started last time. So if yesterday you were able to clean the bathroom, today you clean that bathroom first. Reason: it always felt as if I no sooner got done cleaning one room, when the room I did yesterday was a mess again. So by station in the same room, you gain time and more clean rooms. Example: today bathroom, tomorrow bathroom and kitchen, next day bathroom and kitchen again, because it was to messy to complete in one day. Day after that bathroom, kitchen and living room, rest 1 day no matter what, bathroom, kitchen, living room and ? room and continue until house is clean. Every 2 or 3 days rest at least half the day if not more to prevent overdoing it. I am going to start again tomorrow, worked on the kitchen today, I will keep you updated on progress.
OMG I am so sorry
I'm awake because I wasn't able to get my pain meds until today, the 30 day cycle was Sunday and the pharmacy is closed and because of all the problems, they wouldn't or couldn't give me my meds a day early (Sat). I wasn't just in pain yesterday, I am completely into the horrible cycle that happens to me whenever anything changes.
