Doctors being harrased, MSIR-OXYCONTIN etc.

Question:

Try methadone.  It is much cheaper than oxycontin or mscontin, and very effective. Also Kadian allows 24 hour dosing, but I believe it is expensive.

Hi – I have a good friend, an attorney, who just retired from the CA Attorneys General office as deputy AG for pharmaceutical oversight. He is the person responsible for the good changes that have taken place in CA in recent years and a true champion to our "cause." If you wish, write to me personally and we’ll see if there is a way to get you some help. Dave L D Lamborne Home: http://painlinks.org

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello, My first post to Google Groups but I’m by no means an amateur to Newsgroups and Usenet.   My doctor here in the Orange-Anaheim-Yorba Linda Area ended his practice and transfered to a local hospital. He had been prescribing MSIR for my phantom pain caused by the traumatic hemipelvectomy of the right leg. For those of you who don’t know what that means, I had my entire right leg and a small portion of my pelvic girdle torn off instantaniously during a Motorcycle accident in 1996. I had been taking Oxycontin 400 mgs per day until I asked if I could try something different that would allow me to only take the medication when I needed it. I could go for as much as 36 hours at times when involved in something that engaged my mind or was physically taxing. I do not feel any pain when I am asleep but sometimes experience pain immediately upon waking. The Oxycontin was over $800.00 per month but the same amount of MSIR cost only $109.00. I had a share of cost of about $324.00 for the two years I was on Cal-optima aand could not have afforded to pay for the Oxy unless I had insurance or a health plan of one sort or another. I am on Medicare parts A&B and have been paying for my meds all by myself for all these years. Have any other doctors been quiting lately. I know that the HMO-plan situation is not helping out at all here in California, and that could cause Dr.’s to end their practices early or move to another region entirely. I wish it was possible to access a clearinghouse of Physicians to see how many are being intimidated into not providing proper levels of pain relief. I can assure you, less than complete relief is not proper care when the pain is so severe it keeps you up for days and causes even those who witness the writhing and moaning and groaning to become exhausted and mentally affected by it also. It frustrates me so much to know that some lazy or even worse, a real go-getter DEA beuracrat is acting like he knows more about a patient that he has never seen than the patients own Dr. I guess their jobs are very important to them and they need to do all they can to keep them and increase the power they wield over us ordinary mortals.
