With New Guidelines My Prescription Is Cut Less Than Half
UpdatedIn the 80s I lacerated my liver resulting in heavy internal bleeding. I was given a blood transfusion and contracted HEP C and HIV. I now also have spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease (bone on bone), sciatica, severe pains in my feet and legs, spasms, and I walk w/ a cane from falling.
At P/T I leaned on an inversion table which was straight up an down, my feet whipped over my head, all my weight slammed onto my neck.I already had a herniated disc in my neck, now I can't move. And I also have bulging discs throughout back. (Chronic Pain Syndrome) The pain is disabling, much more so from the HIV. I have an internal doctor basically handling all... HIV MEDS and blood. But they can't prescribe for Chronic Pain Syndrome due to new laws from the NYSCDC in N.Y.

Have you read the Addendum/Erradum to the CDC guidelines. Titled The Misapplication of CDC Opiod prescribing guidelines. Its on CDC website, they are walking back a lot of this. I printed this from cdc my state medical board and NIH and took to my Dr. To read. These.guidelines were intended for people being STARTED on Opiod. They really messed up.a lot of lives with this garbage and lost a lot of good docs too.
