SHORELINE...I have another question... - Pain Management Message Board

First of all thank you both for your input in my post regarding the Anviza. It did absolutely nothing. Let me back up a bit. I did not go into details due to my hands; this time it is important. My Dr. gave me a $2.00 coupon for 10 only and she decided 60mg would be enough to start. She even stated that I may not even finish them. However, she did up my 120 mg daily to (1) 80mg in the morning and (1) 80mg in the evening allowing me (2) 15mg of Roxicodone for BT. My question to you Shoreline is may I have your permission to print your first reply and give to my Dr.? She is very appreciative for my research. She is only a Medical Practioner; but after 5 years of trying to get help, she looked at my mri's and could not believe Dr.'s were turning their heads away. So everything I bring to her she appreciates. My only worring is that she is not in with anyone and if anything happend to her I'd be back to day one. But I am so blessed to have her.
I've been a member since Oct., 2003, and have found most of my questions just by reading. This time I wanted to participate.
Shoreline you are such an inspiration to this board.

Thank you, and God Bless each and every one of us!

Hey Gail, Yes you have my permision, You should also copy the last two posts to Cowboys questions about driving while taking opiates. The information I gathered was initially to explain how someone taking their OxyContin as prescribed could test negative for opiates in a standard UA panel. The information came from the Canadian health ministry and the US army. Good luck, Dave
PS, I wouldn't throw opiates away, I was given no additional opiate pain medicacation to come home with after the implant and it was done 5 days prior to my PM apt and refill day so I had minimal meds and was supposed to stop all methadone with only 15 MSIR left to last me for 5 days. I did a quick taper off the meth using it for surgical pain but it was a miserable 5 days.
