I have been treated that way by Doctors offices and it feels so frustrating, humiliating, helpless and angry all at once. The E.R. can be very expensive - I don't know about your insurance. Maybe try to make an appt. for an office visit (make something up) and get a one on one with the Dr.? Just an idea.

So glad you had the locks changed, but how creepy indeed !!

My insur will cover everything, but I HATE the ER. Especially sine with my CRPS they know it's not "life threatening" and I wait for HOURS! I suppose I shouldn't complain about that but it seems ridiculous that I've even been put into this position....

Hi Songbird, I would go to your gp and explain the situation. Being that it's never happened before, I would think he would help. If not, you may want to find a new pm dr. That doesn't seem right. I don't think that they are allowed to let you go through withdrawl and they can always take your urine sample to make sure you are not exceeding your medication limits. I have to make sure my doors are always locked and don't tell my neighbors what I take because some people like to steal meds like percocet and xanax so that they can sell them on the street. l I hope you can get help soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you. From your friend, Renee.

So sorry Songbird, that is downright weird, creepy, wrong.....ugh, all those things. Well done getting the police report filed quickly.

I agree with Renee, make an urgent appointment with your GP and sit in his office until he gives you something. Given this has never happened before, and the police report, he can have no excuse for not being reasonable. This is not a normal situation, and clearly way out of your control, and he can't expect you to make it through for so long without meds.

Life is mad at times, as we find out so often Good luck.

Bram.

Thanks Bram,

I am soooo unbelievably stressed and frustrated. I mean seriously I'm suprised I havent flared due to the stress. It really unnerved me to know that someone I didn't know was in my house touching and moving my things...ugg...God knows what he was doing....

TO have my meds GONE except for a few I kept on me. I ration out what I'll need to take while I'm at work every Monday. I don;t like to carry my full prescription around with me, in fear if my purse is stolen I'd loose my meds. Funny huh? It would've been safer on me....

The doctor flat out wont do it. And my GP is through the same clinic and can't refill it due to the same stupid policy! So looks like Ill have to take all the police info and go the ER route...

Seem wrong to tell your patient to go to the ER when you know it is not an emergency!

They do have a "fast track" in our city in all the area hospitals, it's basically like a Urgent Care with-in the ER. Soooo we'll see what happens.

I am just so sickened,frustrated, and in a lot of pain I want to cry!

I hope the ER gives you your meds and quickly. It's a good idea to bring your police report. If that doesn't work, I would see another pm dr or nuerologist and ask them for help. I hope the ER can help though so you don't have to look for another dr. I wish you well and my thoughts are with you. Take care.

+1 would ask doctor directly, and if they won't be reaonable look for a new doctor taking your medical records, police report, etc. Very sady you are in this position. I rely on meds for other reasons and can't imagine being with out them.

Best,

Hi Songbird, I hope you were able to get a refill on the meds you needed and hope you feeling better soon. My warm thoughts are with you. From Renee.
