The only lawyer we have now is one specializing in SSDI. We had another who was looking for a connection with her former employer and health insurance company to see if she was terminated from her employment do to the insurance company's negligence releasing both parties from any obligation pertaining to her RSD.
BC/BS told us Opana is not on their list of drugs because it is relatively new. The insurance company wants Suzy to take what they consider a generic version of Opana which appears to be morphine sulfate for one month first. 4 30mg per day and 2 60mg time-release per day. She started it yesterday and became somewhat ill from just one 30mg. Dew, Suzy seems to think that Opana is just like morphine and may make her ill anyway. I've explained that it may not be just like morphine even though it is morphine based, but it may not have certain side effects as morphine. Can anyone attest to this? Thanks!
