Doctors In Louisiana That Prescribe Methadone For Chronic Pain (Page 18)

I have been taking 120 mg of methadone for approximately 5 years. My husbands job transferred us from Florida to Louisiana where I found a pretty good pain doc. He is now running scared and wants to take me off of methadone. Methadone has given me a good quality of life; I am able to work and be a productive member of society. My doctor is unwilling or unable to assist me in finding a new doctor who will continue my meds. Oh yeah, I have been the route of blocks and injections and gotten little if any relief. I'm tired of being branded a drug seeker-I have years of medical records that back up my claims and verify the dosages that I've been on-what drug seekers have this kind of back up? I am looking for a Louisiana doctor, but am willing to travel (within reason of course). Please help!!

120 mgs of methodone is a whopping dose and 4-8 times the recognized new Standard of care of 100mg Morphine Equivalent max per day. Just an FYI.

Exactly!! How can they sit there and say they've been taking methadone for 20 years and they are not an addict?!! OMG, yes you are an addict, admit it. Most everyone on here begging for info for a doctor who will rx them their drug of choice, they're all addicts. Saying he will submit 20 yrs of drug tests, doesn't matter bro you are an addict if you've been on methadone for 20 years! People writing that they'll drive 2 hours or wherever to get their drugs, they're addicts!! I understand being in pain and you'll take anything to try and get rid of that pain, but I'm talking about severe pain not Fibro crap or whatever that is, the fact is most people have aches and pains and a lot of people are wimps and can't tolerate any little ache so they think they're dying so they came up for a name of this disease, Fibromyalgia. I've gone to work many days after caring for 2 babies in diapers all night as a single mom and have been so dead tired I didn't know how I'd make it through and hour let alone a day but I did. Being tired and having aches and pains is normal every day life. I don't understand how someone in their 20's or 30's has severe pain w/o having been involved in an accident or having cancer, it's not normal.

He is really a fine Dr. let me know if this helps. My email is {edited for privacy}. He is about 80 miles from Louisiana. I don’t know what part of Louisiana you live but Pray this helps. Take care and Godbless.

Re: Kaydollasign (# 343)

I have fibromyalgia, Reynaud's disease in both hands and feet, and they believe I have the beginning of multiple sclerosis! You don’t know pain until you have experienced what I have! I thought I touched a dirty gas pump of some sort because I literally woke up. Total body aches, pain, and different colored fingers and toes!! I have lesions in my brain however at this time all they can say is fibromyalgia and Reynaud's! Which means other autoimmune diseases will be added on if life continues…. ?? This pain could make anyone suicidal. Let alone people like you can make people in pain homicidal.

Judgemental often? I have diabetes, type 1, peripheral neuropathy as well as several other diseases. I live in pain even when taking my meds. But I don't judge anyone by the meds that work for their pain. Get some education before you play doctor.
