Question by PainSucks: I have chronic pain. I get relief with higher legal limits of opoids. Are there any Dr.s who treat this way?
It’s getting pretty tough to find a doctor who will prescribe narcotics for long-term pain management. I’ve tried all the “other” pain reducing options (dorsal implant, morphine pump, steroid blocks, massage therapy, pool work, …) that are classified non-opoid. The implants nearly killed me, I’ve fallen twice and broken bones doing therapy, and I’m getting tired of being called an addict when I show up at an emergency room for treatment. Why are all the doctors afraid to practice their work with legal doses of narcotics? Finding a doctor who will prescribe the amount of medication I need is next to impossible. I was just turned away from a “Pain Clinic” as not treatable. Why? Because the only treatment that works for me is a high level of narcotics in my body. And today’s healers are under scrutiny by the DEA. They can revoke a medical license for over prescribing. Who’s helping the patient – Me? Why make medications if they can’t be used?

Question by Clarice: What happens when you get a psychiatrist?
I suffered depression as a teen. I am now in my early 20’s. Recently, I tried to kill myself taking headache pills and lied to the doctor that I didn’t do it intentionally (since I didn’t take enough to die). I’m embarrassed of getting a psychiatrist and fear that they will make it known to my friends and family.

What happens when I get a therapist? Will they send me to the mental hospital? Will “depression” be on my medical record forever? Will it affect my job?

I’ve been through all of this. We’re exact on this. It’s alright to tell your family, because they care about you. But you don’t have to tell your friends if you don’t want to.
