Hello all,i am a newbie to this site and looking for some help or advice with my issue please.
I suffer from chronic arthritis and have done for many years.I can not take anti inflamitrys as I have reactions to all.I have tried numerous drugs,oxycontin,MS contin,Targin,Norspan,Fentanyal,di gesic and Endone.I was on Endone wich works for me I was on 2tbls 4 times per day,and was working great,this was going well for 2yrs plus until my 23yr son was stealing them.i had them well hidden because I have young kids as well.Anyway the DDU apparently put a red flag on my name and now I can only get 4tbls 1tablet 4 times a day. my doc told me I had to go see specialist and pain clininc b4 the ban can be lifted.I have done that and have the backing of both to confirm that I need this medication.Yet nothing has happenend I am getting to a point were I just don't know what to do.i have done everything I have been asked and am starting to think it is my doctor who is the problem.I have numerous witnesess about my son taking my meds,i do NOT take my meds for recreation,and have never doctor shopped.i live out in the country so I don't have many choices.PLEASE can anyone give me advice.
THANKS

Family or not the guy is a right prick. Have him arrested and reclaim your status. Hopefully your son will learn otherwise there will be deeper places for him to sink than that....good luck
 
I disagree with having your own son arrested - it will only alienate him further and cause an irreparable rift despite the fact that he is in the wrong. Surely at age 23 he can be reasoned with and can appreciate the ramifications of his actions. Simply lock your medication up in future. (Haven't we all done inconsiderate things when we were young?)

I would suggest trying to talk candidly with your doctor, and if that doesn't work, then finding another doctor might well be your only option.

I'm know very little about arthritis treatment (except for copper wristbands :) ) but is treating the problem with painkillers the only solution? Surely you will eventually encounter tolerance issues.
 
Thanks guy's yes I should of had it locked up. He is no longer living with me and has not since this has happened. Yes I can go to another doctor but until my doctor releases the authority No other doctor can prescribe for me, so I have been told. Thanks for in put anyway

What state are you in, if you are comfortable sharing? All state authorities are different, but that's a very strange thing the DDU has done, sounds more like your doctor is cutting you back. I'd ask to see a copy of the letter from the DDU. How many tablets were stolen over what period of time?
 
Hey patient, I'm in SA and I was on 6 to 8 a day depending on my pain and that was for a long time. I'm not sure how much was taken at a time because I used to get 5box at a time. How it happened was I went to get my script for more when I had run out.doc said it's too early I was like no I have only taken my normal, so got script then happened next month and then the shit hit the fan.
 
^ have you explained the situation with your son stealing your meds to your prescribing doc? (I understand some doctors won't believe you and take it as a form of doctor shopping, but if you have some type of healthy relationship with him, he may understand).

Your doctor told you to see a specialist to confirm you need these meds (which you state you've now done), Have you gone back to your regular doc and explained this too?

I would have thought it'd be back to the old routine after you complied.

EDIT: if he's not willing to go back to how it was, and you have confirmation to need these meds, then it might be time to look for a new prescriber.

Yes I have explained yes I have been to specialist yes I have been to pain clinic. My doctor just keeps putting blame on DDU, pain clinic. Yet she was the one who made me go to all of them. I have been fighting this for nearly two years. For me to see
Another doc it is over an hr away. But looks like I haven't much choice. Back to the son stealing them I have several witness as to what he has done as he was caught red handed.
 
^ whats her explanation when you tell her that you've jumped through all the hoops she wanted you to? Straight back to blaming the DDU?

As patientX stated, she may want to cut you back to save her own arse.

I'd be asking many questions because if this is the case, she should have just explained it that way.
 
Tough love otherwise you are just enabling his behaviour!
 
^ tough love can work.

But so can other methods.... With possibly a more positive outcome than criminalising your son.

I'm with CrazY on that subject.

EDIT: I would like to add though, that there would be times when arrests are in order. It's all circumstantial.

The OP seems positive that it won't happen again (with him not living at home anymore), so we don't need to go down this road anymore.

Yes captain, she says her hands are tied its up to ddu and or pain .now I have to go back to pain clinic AGAIN according to her.mind you it only took me 18 months to see them first time. So I guess another 18 to her is nothing. Basically I am getting the run around and just don't know what to do or who to contact.
 
Doing anything less would be saying it's ok son, I'll take the rap for ya, you go ahead in life and act like that and end up dead or something else that!
 
Question - how low will a guy go who steals meds off a family member and is then willing for them to take the wrap! How low? We'll lower that you'd ever imagine
 
Morales you say.......what fucking morales!!! Self centred, self serving addict behaviour........you can't get any worse! He needs to hit his rock bottom and hard
 
I think him loosing me as his mother is enough punishment, I have not spoken to him in 2yrs since this has happened that's how long I have been fighting all this shit with my doctor. So if he has to hit bottom I'm afraid he will be doing it on his own. My real problem is what to do???? How many god dam fkn hoops do I have to jump through. I'm doing all im asked and passing (so to speak) and there's still no change.
 
The only way that would happen is if she has been lying to me all along that there is no ban, it is just her who has been holding my meds back.I am in the process of finding that out, and if she has I will be prosecuting.
