Help On Failing A Drug Test - I Take Medications Prescribed But Not Anything Else, No, I Do Take More Vitamins Now

That answer is possible. I have been sick with an upper respiratory infection from allergies., so I could have fallen asleep the night before and not taken them the night before the next mornings test I was feeling pretty bad. I go to pain management in Venice, Fl. I am a 65 year old female patient. The dr. I normally saw left in Jan. while still under contract where I am now. The dr. I had was a very caring dr. I was put with another dr (lets call him B) and saw him two times when dr A left. He is very abrupt. There is a sense of you need to be in and out in 10 to 15 min. With this dr. you go in and out with a sense of being done fast in the 15 min. probably allotted for a patient. There was no sense of caring and no real communication back from him on the second visit when I talked to him a little trying to explain my health problems so he could understand me better to try and help me. I have a lot of things wrong: I have asthma, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, arthritis in my spine, stenosis. I have herniated discs in my lower spine on both sides really bad and I also have at least one in my upper back, I have nerve damage in my hands in feet from the chemo and some tinnetis (ringing in my ears, I hear high pitched sounds a lot).. One of my vertaebrae, according to a surgeon I used once for surgery, said I have a vertaebrae putting pressure on my sciatic nerve. My back had problems and for years after 1997, I had to lift things that my husband couldn't when he was so sick and assaulted. I had to do everything for years. My bone structure is that I have small and more delicate bones, I guess. I am not a large person, I am small boned. In 2011, I had for several months to do lifting with my Mom when she was alive (with no help) which hurt me more I am sure, I had very little help due to circumstances beyond my control. I left out I had a very aggressive breast cancer in 2008 and underwent having the left breast removed and then months of chemo and then 6 weeks of radiation. Back to 2011, I fell when I was too tired and started having unbearable pain in my lower left side of back and down my left leg. Here in Fl, after my tests after the fall, drs. hardly gave me anything to help.

Then I took generic Lortab 10.and that did help some. I was still in pain. I have a pinched nerve along where l4 and l5 are on right and left sides and a pinched nerve iat I think it is E5 in the top. I also have a sore left hip where there is probably another pinched nerve I think and my chiropractor agreed and the bone in my left leg below my knee is so sore, I don't know but I am guessing a nerve may be pinched or is damaged there. I had MRI's one dr. wanted to do surgery on me but wanted 6 or $7,000. I told him no after I fell in 2011, I didn't have the money and then he wanted payments. I said no. I have multiple back issues.I was hesitant to be cut on but let one surgeon shave 10 per cent off a vertebrae to relieve the pressure off the sciatic nerve to see if that would help. It was not enough and it had my back and the fibromyalgia so upset for at least the last year. I heard this dr. Is famous for taking patients and doing surgery several times before he gets it right and IF he gets it right. I was put on Morphine Sulphate and I had started taking oxycodone and it was changed from 15 to 30 mg, because it did help more. That pain management dr. I stopped seeing and with someone I knew finally I thought found a genuine caring dr. who would help me. I left out, I did get the cortisone injections in my back done through a microscope from the dr. who is a surgeon, They put me to sleep and it is over fast. It took 2 of them before I could tell they helped any, all I was allowed. Back to the caring dr. A, He gave me the injections twice and took me off the Morphine Sulfate as I have asthma and I am now on Exalgo 12 mg., twice a day.

I can take the oxycodone 30 mg up to 6 times a day as needed.I started needing the injections last year at the end or it, in Jan, I discussed it and my dr. was going to see about getting me scheduled for them, I walked out to the front desk and was given another dr. They explained mine was leaving and not allowed to talk to patients at all there. They last year when I got the dr. who was so caring, Dr. A, they put me after around 3 appointments with this Dr. B., I was not real comfortable with that. When my Dr.Dr. B. started to give me my first injection, I asked him why I had to be put with another Dr.they had not even told him. He asked them why they did that and the nurse said because he was busy with the injections. He told them to put me back with him and he would take care of me.I had discussed having surgery with Dr. A, and how it had not helped but aggrevated my back. I have so many issues with it, I was doing better with my injections usually two, twice a year and my meds. Also, I can't take strong arthritis meds, asperin, ibuprophen, etc., anything of that type. I have tried natural things to that have done nothing. I used to be able to go and use some things, but when my back really got bad was in 2007, then it got much worse in 2011 as I stated when I fell. I am just trying to be able to live and get as much of my life back as I can. I lost my husband I took care of for several years, when I got cancer in 2208.. I have no problem with self esteem issues because he let me down, he really did. Yes it hurt a lot. I had to keep going for my Mom. I had my mind on getting through cancer and my mom being with her and trying to hel her. I am past my 5 years now. My Mom passed away last year in March. I was hoping with my two little shih Tsus, to try and make a life, I go to church with my neighbors. My husband took everything and ruined what he didn't take. My issue here is my letter. It says: It has come to my attention that you have violated our narcotic agreement and therefore I am dismissed from their practice. It says my records will be made available to my next physician, upon request. The dr. says he will give me 30 days of emergency care with no narcotic prescriptions from their practice. Then they mention addiction treatment or if I feel my condition requires treatment from a pain management dr. he gives me a list of I think 5 drs, Then he wishes me the best.

I do not and have never done illegal drugs nor would I ever be crazy enough to do that sort of thing. In the visit I had tried to tell him my hands and feet were tingling more and did he think I needed to try and go back to the Lyrica instead of the generic Neurontin I am on. He (that was the last visit on the 25th last month, March 25)only listened and said he would think on it and let me know next month. I also asked and think my muxcle relaxant needs to be changed. The Tiazanidine 4 times a day does not help too much. I do take calcium, magnesium and I take comples and multi vitamins for over 50. I did start taking eye vitamins, I am going through cataract surgery, I am on the laser part now with my eyes. I have hellacious muscle spasms. in my back and left leg. My left leg below the knee, the outside area on my left hip, my bottom lower back primarily left side alwaysand sometimes right lower back is very sore and very painful. So it is also sore in the top where the pinched nerve is and it affects my arms some, and they feel heavy. I get headaches and feel nausea from that. I believe if I could get my injections, take my meds, try to ret and take care of myself, I could be able to manage. I never thought I would be taking pain meds and always hated the idea, I saw a husband who did not use them right and it really was so distasteful. You can't do anything to help a person who acted like he did. I need to be able to live and have some quality to my life. I do not know what I am supposed to do. I can try and call tomorrow. A neighbor said she is going to try and help me find a dr. The problem is trying to find one who is genuine and caring. If this one was, why does he not talk to me and let me know what is wrong if something really is.

If he talked to me he would understand or know I am not a street person or whatever you call it. I am still very sad over the loss of my Mom last year.I know she is better off, and I believe in God and I know she is in heaven. I didn't mean to get off the subject. I am trying to have a life around my health issues. I want to look forward to getting to enjoy some of life like this beautiful Sunday here in Southwest Fl. Could anyone give me their best suggestion as of what I need to do? I was mad when I saw the letter, I do most of the time the best I can do to take care of myself and (Sometimes I get tired of doing meds, I am doing mine after years of other peoples). This is the only place I know I can ask for help or suggestions. I do not keep up with a lot of the stuff going on here. I do get my meds though through the mail, I had problems with the drugstore pharmacist and finally started getting my meds ordered through my provider . I don't know if I can mention the name here. At first they were always late and in the beginning when I moved so much incompetence, I have a special person who takes care of my meds.I don't know if they will tell me on the phone what was wrong with my drug test. I thought maybe they were just trying to get rid of patients because another dr. I have told me that is the way pain management drs. are in Fl. There are too many older people and too many with back problems and other pain issues I guess. I feel a little upset too, the ddr. A, that was concerned and genuinely caring, can't take any patients from that office for two years from Jan. 2014. I believe if he left, he had good reasons for it. Why is it if something really is or was wrong that they don't want to talk to the patient. I think I would hate a job like that if I could work. Treating patients like they aren't even really people! I hope you will excuse me, I am really sore and do not feel well, I really did not need this problem, but I really didn't feel like this was a caring dr. or one that I wanted. I did not choose him, they just put me over again on his list of patients without asking me. I guess it didn't matter to them, they were probably just filling spaces.

I do not know how I find out what they say I had in my urine. I also started taking allegra and Claritin. I also use an inhaler for asthma. I take Besides the vitamins and meds previously mentioned, I take Nebutone, I take a cholesteral and blood pressure med.I take Nexium and sulcrafate. I have been taking all these except the allergy med, eye vitamin and maybe b complex. I was thinking maybe vitamins, and your other meds could throw something off. I really think they probably don't want some of the patients. What do I do? I do not want to go to another dr. with a label on me for something I am not. Like I said, I haven't taken medicines that were not mine and I don't do whatever the bad things are. You can probably label me square. I just want a caring dr., back (am I going to have trouble getting a dr., I llive in Punta Gorda, Fl. I can go to drs. around Punta gorda, I was going to Venice and to Sarasota for my injections. I have to go, I am very tired and hurting too, please advise as about getting to get a good dr. I do not want a bad label on me for something I didn't do either. I never thought of not enough in my system when I took the test. I just always went in and took it. I never worried about it. I did have problems the first of the two months they have done it. I had a hard time going because I hadn't drank enough. I need to stop repeating myself, I have been dragging with an upper respiratory infection. I haven't taken anything except my asthma inhaler and my allergra , sometimes zyrtec or Claritin. I have a fever now. I will be looking forward to hoping to get some answers on what I need to do. I need to go I am really dragging and I have a fever. I am fighting allergies, and managing it just hoping pollen clears up soon. I may ask my dr. (regular one) to give me some antibiotics, it is up to her, This is something that can go on for another month or so and should clear up outside most likely. I was a mom and went through this with my children. Just need help over this letter , dr., and what to do now. Tomorrow I need to know something because I have an appointment to cancel on the next day whickh is Tue. this week. Thanks!!! Somebody else said this I read it a while back, I am not going to apologize for having real health issues with pain and my back, etc. A dr. is supposed to want and try to help you. It does not seem the case if you have real pain issues. If I really had a caring dr. would this have happened to me to? I don't want to think so. I wonder if it depends on if maybe they have too many patients. I apologize for being sick now while I am asking for help, bur truly I should be resting and I will.
