How many of PAIN MANAGEMENT patients have the same problems out there? Pain management doesn't help you and you have to fight with SSD for your legal right to collect what is rightfully yours? The other problem you get hit with is now your local pharmacy which always refilled any of your prescriptions in the past up to six days early now has got you waiting till the last 30th day. Example U use you PC for prescription management, it tells u your prescription is eligible for refill, u click on to be refilled. Pharmacists call & informs you till wait till the 30th day. In ? you state why does the system inform you it is no eligible for refill, for it will lock you out prior if u attempt to check that box. Response is, well u should have some till that X day. It appears to me that the patient is now being discriminated against for using a controlled substance. Funny how they will refill anti inflammatory medication, anti depressants etc with NOOOOO problems. I even have a disabled son who is on auto refill and one is diazepam & its refilled 3-4 day prior to 30th day. My major concern is once the pain clinic can't help us we get put on prescription management, another term for useless, helpless drug patient. SSD states we can do work when we can barely get through the day, oh by the way. They also don't think we suffer from the said side effects of heavy prescriptions we need to take. Employers would never hire an opiate user, its called drug test & worse of all we now get tagged as prescription abuse. When will all this discrimination end? None of my actions in the past have ever or could of caused so much discrimination until I got involved in pain management. I worked my whole life & operated two small business's which was very hard to give up. I also am a parent of an 11 year old disabled boy who requires all of his needs to be attended to, can't talk, walk feed himself etc. A 5 year old boy & 2 step sons 22 & 19. I my SSD Social Security hearing my disabled son was used as a tool against me for my eligibility to be a clamant. Imagine that, even though I showed payment proof of care for him to ease my physical demands of care. In a nut shell we our as a group discriminated against and we sit quite and suffer, subject to drug tests, pill counts 30th day refills, unable to get disability benefits and any other shameful exploit we can be subjected to. So my ? is how long are we going to sit and take this discrimination, we need to have a voice. How should we become one and show we have had enough?
