MDJunction to me

suebaby41"I was recently diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer In The Chest
Wall. I would not be able to handle it as well as I am without the
help of my MDJunction friends. It just proves to me that there are
lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them.

I feel yor pain (literaly!) It says VOLUMES about our values/morals in our society today a damn heroin addict can say he has a disease & they will give them enough medicine (dope) to kill a horse! But if you have a (rare but legit.) disease with extreme pain they treat you like a junkie! To tell you the truth it makes me even sicker than I already am! Most countrys we can buy a lot of the anti-nausua meds over the counter! You have my sympathy LMK if there's EVER anything I can do to help? Or if you ever need someone to rap with I'm here for you 24/7 365!Sick Sideways Sick Shocked Sick Wassat

I can totally relate! I was taken off ultram and morphine and another script was added that suppose to effect the nerve endings to reduce my pain. It's not doing a thing. My insurance company is allowing me 28 Zofran a month for nauseau . . . I take it 4 x a day. Grr

Lisa I'm sorry about the Zofram issue. I think many of us get that. They will not pay for Zofran in Canada with the Disability insurance unless you have cancer AND are undergoing chemo. What a joke. Like they are the only people who need this drug. It's all about saving money because it's like 20$ a pill. Don't get me wrong. People living with cancer totally deserve it but I feel that we do too. I have to take an off brand of phenergram when I get bad and had to get used to the regular daily nausea.
I am not a medical doctor. Anything said on here is my personal opinion. Seeking help from a health professional is always for the best!

** I have a broad knowledge about psychoactive medications and the mind since I have studied psychology/therapy. Any information that I give concerning any medication is to be considered generic since everyone reacts slightly differently to any foreign substance. I do not fully know your health history/case. Any suggestion that I made which peaked your interest MUST be discussed with your doctor. Do NOT change your medication intake based on any information which was not provided by your doctor. All that we can offer on MDJ is suggestions to discuss with your physician.
