Mindful Yea I can relate .the antidepressants and other meds they had me on made me fall asleep driving a car
I would get lost in thought and the next thing I know everyone is screaming at me and crying .
My girlfriend was in college but she refused to drive (to many family and friends killed in car wrecks )
So I had to have her sister ride with me to keep me awake ,at home I just sit there slumped over ,fast asleep
I threw all that crap they had me on away and went back to fighting to be heard ,
They were determined to make me admit I was an addict ,then they would treat me with antiabuse meds that actually help with pain too ,but you have to admit your an addict to get in the program ,,I refused .
I have many friends in law enforcement (I ran a pawn shop and every cop and detective in the country has bought guns from me ) they warned me if I ever admitted I had any kind of mental issues or addictions I would loose my CCW permit to carry to keep fighting .
After I finally did a self referral at a civilian pain group and was accepted (I have MRI's from 2013 and new ones from last December )The Va pain management admitted they know I must be in hell ,,but I still needed to get in the drug program ,,eventually the pain clinics are all going to be shut down ,,
I now have a CDC/DEA fedral control number
I don't get any crap any where with my script
Has my diagnoses on it and my control number ,my doctor has more degrees then any doctor I have ever seen at the VA
Surgery ,Pain Blocks ,Rehabilitation therapy,thats all he does is pain ,,you need a shrink ,,they have them in house too ,but my doctor is one of the leading doctors in the country for spinal cord injury ,,he is not just a pill pusher ,,he is the real deal
All I have to do is mention the VA and he goes to cussing about how some of them should be in jail for making me suffer like that ,that even convicts get better treatment ,,
I laugh and say I know ,,my brother the con has been laughing at me for years ,,he gets pain meds and was in prison for obtaining narcotics by fraud ,his wife was a nurse ,,they wrote their own scripts ,18 yrs for being a repeat offender ,,and he still get 30 mg oxycodone ,tests positive for THC every month and his doctor jokes with him about his medial card ,,,they just passed it in Florida allowing you to smoke for pain ,,but he does not have a card ,,its all a joke to him ,,its not a joke to me this issue has ruined my life to a degree ,,all because I was always told to tell your doctor everything ,,
If you ever had a drug or alcohol problem and its not already in your records ,,that is the dumbest thing you could ever do ,,that is all they hear from then out
Your doing anything you can to obtain narcotics ,your an addict ,,no such thing as a recovered one
