Having Trouble Getting Meds Filled?
I'm in a Pain Management office today hearing from patients who can't get their controls filled at any of the retail pharmacies. Here in the Delaware Valley we know CVS, RiteAid, and others are saying, "No" to chronic pain patients and leaving them with nowhere to go. Are you have this experience in your area?
That makes a lot of sense to me.
Med Question
Hello all. Med question for the masses.
I am on lithium (bipolar) and Dilaudid (chronic pain). The pain med adjusts as needed between morphine, Dilaudid, and oxycodone due to tolerance.
Has anyone in a similar situation experienced any side effects or other effects?
Thanks.

Does Anyone Use Meditation To Help Relieve Their Pain ? And If So Has Anyone Met One Of Their Guides ?
Not sure how much more detail I can be If you meditate on a regular basis you know what i am speaking of (even if it were a short meet)
Studies show it helps. I lay down and calm my mind, taking very deep breaths and exhaling more than inhaling. Stale air is in the lungs and sometimes clearing our breath and getting good air to our… read more

Regardless of how cool/cold it is around me I will sweat a ridiculously large amount and my ears get red and actually feel hot.
