Meds

[grampyhiltz61]

We have a little problem with my meds. The other day we went to Stoneham MA to she her very sick mother. My wife put a bunch of percs in one bottle and the oxys in another. The bottle with the perc's. We cant find. I will have to cut back. But i am more worried about if they do a pill check. What should i do?
Sorry,

I've never had a pill count, either, but I have heard some people have or have doctors who say they will in the contract.  I would definetly be honest with the doctor as well.  I have had a pain management contract in the past that said they would not replace missing or stolen meds.  I didn't really ever had a problem with that, though.

If it was me, I'd be honest with my doctor.  I've had two occasions where I've been short of medication.  One was when I somehow packed my prescription in with my uncle's when he was leaving here to go back to Ireland, and the other time was when my ex-husband stole some from me.  Both times I was honest and both times my pills were refilled early so I didn't have to cut back.

I guess it depends on how you feel your relationship is with your doctor.  Have they done pill counts before?  I've never had a pill count, though I've had a urinalysis done. My pain contract does not mention pill counts or being called in unexpectedly.

Let us know what you think you'll do and how it turns out.
