I'm currently in no meds land... I'm 31, a nurse, just got ins. I'm currently on Lunesta which works not at all, but DR is climbing up the treatment ladder thinking a "good nights sleep" may help ease the pain. I'm using a cane when no one is around, as I cannot use one at work for obvious reasons.

I'm in pain 24-7. Migraines, neck and back pain, constant daily HA's, Chiari Malformation and related pain, spinal problems, nerve damage and pinched nerves, TMJ, etc. Seems like not much IS working right on me. Congenital defects coupled with a major car wreck and years of bartending my way through school no doubt have killed me.

Of course I'm in TN, "no ship to me"

I'm out of options, and spend almost all of my days literally in bed. I'm currently on a leave of absence from work, so money is tight to say the least. What the heck do I do? Where can I turn to for pain relief?

Ouch, think we have all been there.
I've nearly tried the "Dr. House" method of inflicting other pain on the body to stimulate Endorphins and get natural pain relief. (not recommended ;\) A more acceptable method for endorphin release is some sort of exercise for over 20 minutes if at all possible. This sucks I know, but you will get through it. What about seeing a doc? Do u have any co-worker docs or P.A.'s u can trust? Otherwise can maybe try the ER, and hopefully get a sympathetic doctor.

Hello PrivateR,

I commented on some length re biotran.co.uk in the "Who offers it" thread above, also in Biotran thread in the International thread.

Very briefly, send them them the money (cash) with their order form, and you will likely receive what you need (codeine products, please see my above comments) in some 2 - 4 weeks (seems to be longer now, but I am 6 / 6 with them receiving in approx. 2 weeks).

I am a very lucky guy at 50 + yrs old. I hope that those of you who suffer can get relief even with our US Govt. restraints on helping those in pain or suffering.

DB rocks! I am now well stocked up on fairly hard to find meds should "something happen". Often, something happens. Plan ahead my friends! Just wish I could get DHC (or HYDRO!) and Xanax as easily as in the past. Re X, look at my posts before re other countries (Italy and S. America) if you are lucky enough to travel.

Best of luck, PM me for the little else knowledge I can offer.

Could you not use a friends out of state address in a more script friendly area as your own?

Anne,

What are you wanting to do...find a better Dr. or just find meds or maybe apply for disability? If you prefer to work, I'd probably ask my Dr. for a referral to a pain clinic, so you can get better pain relief. Seems like your insurance should pay for most everything.

I'm a nurse practitioner returning to school in Jan for my degree in Midwifery, so there is no way I can let go of my work. At 31, I refuse to go on disability. I'm not wanting alot of my pain issues known at work, which is why I do not go to co-workers. that can really be frowned on as well.

I do have a Dr, but I just started seeing him a month ago, so I am jumping through hoops at the moment. He is getting me into a Neuro, a repeat MRI, possibly surgery, and hopefully at the end of it, pain management, who knows.

That sounds like a good idea, stevevi. Since they don't send to TN, she should simply use another address.

I feel sorry that you're in constant 24/7 pain, PR.

That could work if I could find an ROP that will let out of state patients do that...

Why would the ROP know you are out of state? You use the other address as your own, your medical records shouldn't have an address on them (and even if they do, you are allowed to move). Then your friend mails you your own meds (I don't think that is illegal - not sure)

ID (drivers license) was the issue. Most all ROP's require ID's that verify the state you live in. I used ROP's for about 4 years before TN was blackballed.

AH, didn't think of that. I wonder if the drivers license is to verify the state you live in or to verify you are who you are? I know when I go to the local CVS to pick up CII scripts, I have to show my drivers license and have the license # recorded. I was under the impression the was a tracking method to ensure you are not double dipping.

In all the ones I used, the ID had to match up with the state, though not exactly the same street address if you had moved. I could try, but then I have a TN number for contact, etc.... I wish one of the face to face places would come to TN.

I know people from TN are having meds shipped to AL. They just go rent a mailbox at the UPS Store or a Mailboxes Etc. That way you have a physical address in another state. Depending on where you live it might be an option.

Thank you for that information. I may try to set something up. I'm also thinking of setting up an emergency appt with my dr.

Hey, maybe you could have just moved from TN. I definitely would set up an emergency appt with the doc if I could and go in with your cane! Hopefully he will at least give you one script for something if nothing else.

With all the weather changes in the SE due to the storm, that is enough to kick off increased pain, migraine or other.

I suggest going in to see your doctor on an emergency basis strictly for the pain issue. Pick the one area that is the most painful and discuss that one area. Have in mind all of the therapies and medications that you have already tried. Tell him/her that you are at the point where the pain is greatly impacting every area of your life, that it is keeping you from working. Then, if the doctor does not seem to be heading in the direction of prescribing you something that you know works, screw up your courage and come right out and ask this question : "Is there a reason that you do not want me to use something like hydrocodone until this pain is under better control? I have used it in the past with success." This will at least tell you what you need to know. If there is any possibility of him/her ever prescribing this type of medication, he would be likely to do so when you ask directly for the reason not to.

Good Luck!

Thank you everyone for all the advice. As being a new dr, I'm scared to death of being labeled a drug seeker, even though I haven't had a pain script from any local dr since May of 06 for a minor surgical procedure, as I lost my ins in 04....

That's good news then, you shouldn't have a problem, you probably won't even have to ask him for anything. Good chance he will just offer it.

No. The bad thing is that I feel too bad to go to the ER...do you understand what I mean..I mean the ER is for people who feel bad but all I can bear to do is lay propped in an odd position with lots of pillows and a heating pad. Maybe tomorrow? My Neuro Appt isn't til the 18th....
