Scott, I don't understand why given all your conventional treatment failures you haven't been given opiods. To me, it's inexcusable. What is your MD's justification? How much more do you need to suffer? You're entitled to a decent quality of life. Sure, there are drawbacks, but what does it matter now? Cycling you through mildly effective or ineffective treatments seems ludicrous to me at this point. Especially when there are things sitting on American pharmacy shelves RIGHT NOW which way help you. I am not blaming you, but the system. Why won't your doc give you bupe, stimulants or oxycontin? If he's concerned about potential abuse, couldn't he start you out with a small quantity and see you a bit more frequently at first? I hope it's not that he's afraid of the DEA. That's not reason for you to suffer. Sorry if I sound a bit frustrated... it's with a medical system that likely can return you to a normal level of functioning but hasn't because of drug addicts. It doesn't seem right.
