Hey. I got myself hurt pretty bad a few years ago. I'm dealing with arthritis, degenerative disc, herniated discs...life is garbage, basically. Constant, chronic pain. When I first sought treatment, no one would even talk about opiates with me. Knowing my propensity for self-harm, I got on subs and stuck it out for over 2 years. I finally weaned off about 6 weeks ago, but my pain doc says that I will never get opiates from them because of my suboxone treatment. I have a meeting with the medical director tomorrow morning and have some ammo (medical journal articles) ready. But does anyone have advice for how to get through to him? I'm prepared to turn to street drugs immediately if there is no good result, and that scares me.
