Need Doctor In Cincinnati Badly
I moved to Cincinnati from Los Angeles 4 years ago with my Doberman service dog. On 345 mg of morphine. My regular doctor at the University of Cincinnati medical center wrote it to begin but he referred me to their pain management clinic. The quack moron in that clinic no sooner introduced himself before he spouts this lie about the state requiring him to lower my dose to 60 mg. ?!?!?!?! SIXTY mg?????? You must be joking. So then he says "well, you can look for another doctor to write it the… read more
Many states are on a 90mme, 60mme, 50mme. Max dose. Morphine milligram equivalent
Not milligrams
There are mme calculators online, but not all the same. Most will use the CDC one, of course.

FM Diagnosis (but Prognosis Is GOOD, So I'm Told!)
First post 👋 Hi all! So, it took years to be diagnosed with Celiac but that isn't my issue. I have the same helpless feeling because there is something secondary going on that no one can seem to figure out. Doc thinks it could somehow be connected to Celiac and I believe that. Not much is known about it honestly. The current diagnosis is the all-encompassing, vague one of Fibro. I do see a Rheumatologist and I've had all the bloodwork and MRI's, etc done regularly and nothing can be found. It is… read more
Yeah. That is what I was thinking as well! I forgot to mention I have sores on tips of toes sometimes, always cold (big change for me), skin splits/cracks on knuckles, between fingers and rash up… read more
Does Anyone Ever Fear Being “locked In?” My Body Feels Wretched While My Mind Is Ready To Go Jogging. Am I Alone In This?

What Are People Using For Pain?
I am using oxycodone and want to find something else that works for chronic pain. What are some of you using for pain. My doctor won't let me use ibuprofen.
Be careful. Hydrocodone already has acetaminophen in it. Most do. Percocet. Oxy. Too much causes problems.
Can You Smoke Pot And Still Be Part Of A Cronic Pain Group
I've tried vaping, smoking, edibles, and topicals. The topicals have helped a bit and edibles sometimes help me sleep.
My Therapist Said There Are Therapists That Specialize In Chronic Pain. Would It Be Worth Switching?
Ive had depression and anxiety long before the chronic pain but I finally have a great husband and good job then this chronic pain starts. It feels like I can't catch a break.
Just don't let them tell you your pain is in your head

Who Is The Correct Medical Professional To See Regarding Possible CFS / FM?
I have suffered with fatigue and widespread pain for more years than I care to remember. It seems as though whenever I mention this to anyone that I see medically, its as if they blow it off. I can't seem to get anyone to actually listen to me. Very frustrating. There are days when I literally have trouble putting one foot in front of the other to get what I need to get done.
Sometimes I feel like Dorothy Zbornak in "The Golden Girls" episode where she has finally been diagnosed with… read more
