Confused Need help....

I need some help in finding a new doctor for my Olhipie. We would travel as far as SLC. I don't know if there is anyone on NT who is seeing a doctor from this area...

Our family practitioner...notice the word..."practitioner"...lol...

Seriously, our current doc is messing with our RX's. There is a doc in our area that is going to prison for prescribing to many medications for those who have chronic pain like most of us...our doc is afraid of over-prescribing. So he does random pee tests to make sure we are not using any drug that he didn't prescribe for us. He is also lowering Craigs pin killer dose and mine also as if he can wean us off eventually.

Craig was diagnosed 26 years ago with RRMS...now he is SPMS. His pain won't go away! Sorry about venting....


I am at this point am still having pain management from my surgeon. so I'm okay. Next month I will be seeing him and he will probably send me back to my stupid doc who will then try to get me to the lowest dose he can!


I'm at a loss of what to do....thanks for letting me vent!!!
