mrs D's comment is most important but let me add that if your doc finds out you have violated your sched.II contract and breached trust in such a dangerous and foolish manner, you will be dropped like a red headed step child. Pardon the Southern expression. I understand desperate pain. Most of us do but we must think beyond the mind boggling episodes. I have had several unexplained severe episodes where I would wake up in the morning, unable to get off the bed with help to get to the toilett or a bedside comode. I couldn't get up on a bed pan so the family could only slip chux under neath me to take care of that issue. THAT is desperate pain and calling the squad was the only sensible answer. If you go into the ER with that sort of presentation and a frightened family, they take you seriously and deal with it.
