Part of the New health care plan will be making it more difficult to change doctors, they want to cut down on "doctor" hopping for controlled substances. The sad thing is, besides more control over us, is that you could get stuck with an awful doctor and never be able to get out from under. The number of people hopping is far smaller than the number of patients needing to change because they guessed wrong and are stuck with a duck of a doc who doesn't believe in fibro and wont medicate for pain. So again, FibroWarriors, know your state's laws: most States in the US have laws requiring Doctors to take pain seriously. And blanket comments that opiates dont help fibro pain are short sighted! You could be having arthritic pain that worsens the fibro pain. gentle hugs and a peck on the cheek,

I am an RN with a current license since 1984....sheesh that's a long time....but that doesn't mean I am a DOCTOR
I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?
