I agree with Pete on this. I would be honest with your Dr. and tell him that sometimes you have to take extra meds and other times you can get around taking a little less.

It's too bad a lot of these Drs. don't get it. They should have to live with what we go through for one day.

I believe too that some Drs. are afraid of the laws that seem to keep hounding them about narcotics. I was just watching Fox yesterday and 39 states have passed laws that they have to keep up with what prescriptions they give out. A lot of people are going to Florida and changing amounts on their prescriptions and writing fake ones and they also said more people are dying today from prescription drugs then illegal ones.

I have Methadone here and I take it only in a flare anymore. I was able to go off of mine months ago and I do keep my Dr. up on what I do with them though.

I can't believe how strict they are with you. It makes me wonder if this Dr. hs dealt with other patients that did wrong and he takes it out on other patients or maybe he has been reprimended before by the ADA or some other overseers.

I signed a contract but it's not written in stone that I take mine the way we agreed on in the contract.

Narcotics do work for pain, he should read on this forum and see the percentage of people that are on them for pain.

I do hope you start feeling better soon.
