Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

went and got my pain patches
Jan 06 2008
Yesterday I went to the drug store to get a couple scripts filled and told them to go a head and fill the Pain Patches, so when I went back to pick them up they didnt have my patches ready, i asked Why Not as it had been three hours scince dropping them off, it said on the paper my insurance wouldnt pay for it, well hell I knew that already but had told the girl I would pay cash for them. so the one who took my scripts came up and actually said it was her fault, yes it was, so she said it would be a few minutes I sat there for half an hour waitting for it. These people need to get there heads out of there you know whats. This is the only drug store in this small town of Truth or Consequences New Mexico and everytime I go in to get a script filled for my pain meds they give me dirty looks and whisper behind my back I look at it this way, If the doctor didnt want me to have the pain meds they would never write the scripts. They are suppose to open the new Wal-Mart next month and I told my new pain doctor that this is where I want to get my scripts filled. and he said ok, cause when you fill out the Pain meds contract you have to write a drug store down and I told Dr. Flores that it would open then and he said ok. I just hate going to that drug store the people there are hateful and they can get away with it because its the only one here. My Patches are working pretty good not haveing as much pain .

Pain Patches
written by Maggie, January 07, 2008
Hi Desertmom, Are you using the Fentenyl Duragesic Patch? I was using them this past summer and they really helped with the pain. I was up to 200mg or mcg - I forget what came after the 200. Anyway I had to stop them because I got a terrific rash and intense itching while on them. I have an appt with a new doctor this month and I am going to ask her if I could try them again because like I said they helped. They are the only thing that has helped ease the pain. I will watch your diary for updates on the patch. Maggie

Hey desertmom! I know about the whole pharmacy thing. My pharmacy in a pretty big town takes forever to fill a darn prescription! They have five people working in there and it takes them half a day to fill a prescription!? That's ridiculous! BUt, look on the bright side they are working!

Have a good week!
