^ thanks.

How's life, K'd? I've always hoped you'd get involved in this thread... we need your craziness in here!
 
Congrats Cane!

Bit of a glass ceiling for us girls in BL if you have to teabag your way to the top..
 
^ it's not the *only* way to the top, just the easiest... We do have 4 female admins now :)
 
Haha :D glad to hear BL is all about the equal rights!

Didn't make it out to pub, boo. Torrential rain and poor organisation skills got in my way. Got cider here though, so guess it's not all bad..
 
Its that time of day again.... where I'm trying to put it off as long as possible but that little sucker is just sitting there laughin at me, sayin 'crush me crush me!' ...sigh... What are some of your favorite times of day to take a hit? I personally like to wait as late into the night as possible...just something about the darkness I guess. (plus everyone else in the house is asleep)
 
Called my doctors office up & told the receptionist to tell my doctor that Naproxen isnt working & it hurts my stomach & that it has serious side effects after googling it. She was like, we dont prescribe narcotics in this office, I was like, huh? WTF, um.....the doctor gives me Norcos, 120 a month, what do you mean you dont prescribe it?

She was dumbfounded & I felt like calling her a douchebag but I kept my calm............maybe she thought I was a new patient there looking to score, LMAO!
 
^ fuck them! Hopefully you get it worked out :)

Glad to hear we get the pleasure of your company in here, effie :) Sorry you weren't able to make it to the pub though.
 
I will never stop being jealous of all the things you guys can get prescribed. Codeine or tramadol here, oramorph in hospital, and that's pretty much it unless you are in constant agony and see a pain specialist, might get a fentanyl patch then!

Not that I want reckless drs prescribing all sorts (kinda.... haha) but the limitations of what is prescribable is really frustrating for patients who are in pain.. and frustrating for people who like to get high ;)

Oxycodone is starting to become slightly more common but is still rare outside palliative care.

*grr*

edit: pleasure to be here also Cane! Obviously pub would be infintely better, but oh well.. :D
 
We have a lot of doctor's offices around the South Eastern US that will practically give you whatever you walk in and ask for. However the glory days are coming to an end rather quickly, the DEA has been shutting them down left and right and pulling practitioner's licenses indefinitely :(

LMAO. Ya a Doc that only prescribes Naproxen for pain and NO narcotics....8) I think the receptionist was either new or high herself.

Tell you the truth, I dont like oxycodone & hope they give me Morphine instead if I ever get moved up. I feel for you guys tho, im sure if someone had painful scoliosis, they would get more than codeine.

Grr, computer hissy fit then..

Anyway, was trying to say:

I really do feel that doctors should have the wellbeing of their patients as their top priority, and not hand out addictive meds to anyone unnecessarily, it does seem wrong. At the same time.. I feel your pain, I'd be gutted! And sometimes it's good to let people decide for themselves what pain relief they want rather than being told by the doc, as long as they are well informed. In fact, that is totally my position actually.

And to be honest the terrified-to-prescribe-anything-stronger-than-codeine culture here isn't good for patients either. Need some kind of happy medium. With, um, plenty of opiates available to BLers perhaps.. :D


edit: TLB, yeah if you are in a lot of pain you can get more. Usually it's morphine or a fentanyl patch although buprenorphine patches and oxycodone are becoming a little more widespread. You'd been to see a pain specialist though. But yeah, severe pain is treated. It's more the hurts-too-much-for-codeine-but-not-enough-for-fentanyl stuff that is really poorly managed I think..

Yeah......the DEA can go f**k themselves. Bastards want you to buy heroin instead of taking prescription pills.

Haha excellent :D

Decided that I definitely think people should have access to what they like - can't really be pro-legalisation of drugs but anti-docs-prescribing stuff, but they key is definitely to educate people and let us make our own choices :)

You're right about the doctors that just haphazardly and wrongly prescribe narcs, and I agree, if a doc doesn't have the patients well-being in mind then he or she shouldn't be practicing medicine......I just need to find them before the DEA does 8)

Haha yeah. It's kind of a.. want doctors to be good and responsible and everything.. but not all of them;)

It is tricky but I do think that education is key. Educate patients and let them decide if it's what they need for their pain (or want for their high hehe)

I think it's really tricky in areas like medicine to get the fine line between being responsible and doing the right thing for patients, and being all-powerful and not letting patients make decisions for themselves, even if they might be unwise ones. Same in government really. People can make unwise choices if they like as long as they are aware they might not be wise! :D

Blimey, this is getting a bit deep for this time of the night.. *necks some cider*
