My Dr has still been prescribing me 240 (down from 360 per month, been his patient for 8 years) 30mg blue oxycodone every month. He also gives me Ketamine nasal spray and has for about 2 years now. And now he gave me Clonidine for if I run short during a month he says it will help with withdrawal symptoms by a little bit. Of course he is always talking about needing to decrease the dose just because of government pressure. He is a VERY meticulous note taker but we both know he just writes scripts for the most part. He is a firm believer in nobody should suffer from pain. He has been hinting at retirement and said his main concern is finding another Dr that would continue me at my current levels. He said he had 4 other Dr's and they ALL backed out on him as far as continuing his patients scripts. He is actually an American Dr and Iraq war vet Purple Heart recipient (Was in a helicopter crash). So he knows pain. He is a Neurologist. He also says that if he could legally write a script for pot he would. Illegal here in NC. I don't smoke it anyways and never have. I have always had a clean urine test and always been on count if and when they ever ask. That has not been an issue last couple of years due to the plandemic it has been all telephone visits. Does anyone have ANY suggestions as to maybe finding another Dr for if and when he does retire? I am in Eastern NC. It seems MOST Dr's around are scared to death to write anything anymore. I have legitimate back knee and shoulder issues that can not be repaired surgically and this has been my only option for the most part. So just looking any advice someone might could help with.
