@LouisSouthVA OMG. I called for my phone appt on Tuesday, apparently just a couple of hours after they took his license to prescribe. Because I was due for my next Rx's, I'm now totally out. Tried ~15 local Drs until Fri for help, but not a single one would even give me an appt. Good luck. ๐
Found out today that the good ol' DEA has shut down my Pain Dr. - the 3rd time I've lost a Dr to #DEAth. Even though I knew this would happen at some point, I'm stunned. Now I can't get ANY pain relief as a #cpp. So I'm officially done w/ the US HC system. 1/
@LouisSouthVA It's the end of the road for me with doctors, Louis. Not sure what happens now but it's going to be brutal. I'm so sorry for you, too. It's not fair.
@Justice4Norris Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. No, I haven't heard from anyone & I don't expect to. I appreciate your offer to try and help but there's nothing that can be done. But I can't thank you enough for your kindness. God bless you.

@Rosesdaughter61@Katamac1967@50ShadesOfLynn Thank you very much, but I'm finished seeking Drs. The last 4 years have been too stressful, frustrating, costly - all things difficult to manage w/ a TBI, the source of my #cpp. It's out of my control now. But I'm very grateful for the offer. ๐โฅ๏ธ
@cyndiannn I emailed you yesterday. I'm so new to kratom that I didn't realize I could get it locally. I'm w/in days of an emergency of Rx pain meds w/d. If I survive the next several days w/ what I bought last night, I'll be in touch. 21 yrs on meds to cold turkey? Not sure I'll survive.
@cyndiannn, this is Danny. You commented on my tweet abt losing my Dr. Can you share w/ how to get good kratom? I need it asap because I can't find another Dr. I may not survive the next week bc I've been on high-dose Rx meds for 21+ years. Any help will be appreciated.
@ExiledNoMo That's so sweet of you to say! You just gave me a warm โค๏ธ in the middle of hell-on-earth day for me. Thank you so much for that. ๐โฅ๏ธ
@longtimeonleft@Katamac1967@50ShadesOfLynn Isn't that ridiculous? 4 years ago, the same Dr was "chosen" by the Subox Pharma Co to be the lead prescriber of it in the general area where I live. So, he stands to make $ if I'd agreed to take it. He's 1 of those Drs who's disrespectful & arrogant, too. I'm sooo done w/ Drs.
@Katamac1967@50ShadesOfLynn Exactly how I expected - no help at all. He wants me to go thru w/d and then start Suboxone. Called 15 Drs in my area yesterday & this morning: 13 said they aren't taking pain pts and 2 haven't called me back. Guess I'll see if kratom helps w/ the wd's & see if I can live w/ pain
@CatastropheTrai@GingerGiacomo I don't have any options left other than to try to survive w/out relief. Traveling out of the country is not an option due to LTD fixed income. Even if I found another Dr to Rx, DEA will stop them at some point. I can't go thru all of that again.
@Katamac1967@50ShadesOfLynn I'm in Georgia, but have had to travel to TX & CA for the last 4 years to see Drs willing to Rx. Have an appt today w/ my GP, but he strongly pushed Subox when I tried him 4 yrs ago. My wife is terrified of what's gonna happen in the next several days.
@50ShadesOfLynn@Katamac1967 I think you are addressing Kat w/ this, but when I found abt my Dr on Tues, I was due for newly filled Rxs today (Thur). So I have nothing to taper down with. Hope I survive the cold turkey w/d after 20 years of (mostly) uninterrupted use of these meds.
