lawyers i called wont help with this subject due to idiots who do abuse---i am on my own as usual in this hell state of illinois who dont care and n ow i am dying-and just makeing it through
so if loosing the church and people worth getting enough pain control to be able to get around and not pass out-black out-throw up so much i dont know at this point if i am going to be treated so badly--and this to me is something you go to hell for for abuseing the drugs----- no one cares or gets any of this but yeh i did ask lawyers and no one helps----- the family dr walked out on midsentence with other things so no he wont help--and now yesturday the meridian the medicaid ins told me i now have to pay just to go to pain clinic when since i got her they picked me up and no charge told me to take a taxi and got mean with me----but with this i did call neuro who has tryed to help with botox for the migraines and has already had to fight just for the imitrex shots too so maybe he can help with this i have 2 weeks on this alone--

To be treated that badly is appalling. Call your congressmen to tell them your story.Then call the medical review board in the State you live in. They can help with the steps you need to take next hopefully. See if they have law office to help low income. To get the proper people to help to prove a combination of meds can give a false positive. It means a lot of calls till you find the right person but it's worth a shot.
Your in my prayers..

When you say codeine is it like Co codamol or Co dydramol u may know them by other names so could look them up see if they match your Meds but my point is if you are taking co dydramol it's a paracetamol dehydracodeine mix and the dehydracodeine is actually a man made opioid which would give this false positive morphine result you have been accused of and if this is the case get proof from your general care Doctor you may have to pay for a letter supplied but take it and show them that you are not a liar and your results are in fact falsely showing up positive due to prescribed medication needed for you to manage pain and have a level of independent living!! Also there is many more prescribed drugs that can cause a false reading even over the counter Meds can mix with another med which individually wouldn't cause a positive but together they do so also state any medicines you take that are not prescribed in case this is causing the confusion xx

I'm so sorry you both have this horrible cliff hanger lingering over you both ... honestly not sure where located but I'm in Scotland and I have never been made to feel this way!! I was tested before I'd be given a medication that would help my mental health and it came back positive also due to the tramadol but my psychiatrist was very considerate and understood as soon as I explained I took pain relief and one was an opioid substitute and I got my treatment no bother and even tho I've had also history of several life gambles with medicines I am still allowed them where they really had alssll rights to remove my entitlement to the stronger ones but instead my doctor understood it was about treating the trigger not adding to it ... and even with my alssllddictive personality attached to my disorder making me high risk of getting hooked on anything whether it's an addictive drug or even something I've done that gives me a relief or happy feeling ... currently newest one being chewing the skin off my knuckle literally causing it to have a hole doc said was almost exposing knuckle bone lol its a method of distraction pain apparently inflicting one pain to distract from an unwanted one ... I don't recommend it as it's not exactly a safe hygienic or health safe method but that's the explanation as to why I have started this crazy obsession lol

@CarolRogers:

Carol, I get it!! I have several autoimmune diseases and the migraines, spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia alone are enough to drive a sane person insane. I understand the pain that you're going through. I also understand the frustration of dealing with so called doctors and beaurocrats that don't understand, or even try to. I'm going through the same thing!! I tested positive for hydrocodone at pain management. I'm deathly allergic to the stuff!!! My throat closes up and I break out in hives all over!! Yet, they threw me out of pain management and now I have the stigma of abusing prescription drugs!! They don't want to help us. They want us to die! We are a nuisance to them. So I have to deal with pain that would put most people in the hospital. Yes honey, I understand. And I feel so bad for you. I pray that you find someone who will listen to you that is in a position to help. I'm still looking. I'm here if you want to talk. K.
