here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method

information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
just wanted to share something here ,to see if others here have had the same experience or similar,
i went to my dr few weeks ago,and because she prescribes me tramadol for my arthritis ,it use to be a non narcotic yrs ago now it's a narcotic as of yrs ago,I take only what's prescribed nothing more,I have always done what my dr has told me to do,
recently she had me sign something from the dea saying I would only get my pain meds prescribed to me through her only,
only pain med I take is tramadol which is not much more than a tylenol 3,
I was perfectly fine with signing it.
wekks later I had to go to a dentist to have 2 teeth pulled which left me in tremendous pain,
dentist did prescribe me pain med ,stronger than what I took for arthritis,
i then called my dr up and told them about the script dentist gave me,at that time my anesthetic had worn off ,I was in pain,
my dr nurse told me that I'd have to drive up there which was a 30 min drive to get a new script of pain med prescribed by her my dr,I said ok,then she called me back n said to go ahead and fill the script dentist gave me instead of driving up there to get new script,so I did as I was told,
fast ward today ,my dr told me I'd been red flagged on my chart,I'm clueless ,I asked how come she told me of me filling the script the dentist wrote to me,,I did tell my dr that she oKayed me to go ahead n fill it over phone,she said she would have never have told me that,,
now when I go to get a allergy shot at my local clinics,it's popping up ,and their labeling me as a drug addict wanting pain pills when I never came in or asked for them ever,their wrongfully accusing me of it,
this troubles me,I feel confused,and betrayed by my dr,which I had always kept a good honest open relationship with,
is now gone bad,,this hurts,I've tried talking to my dr about it,she denies it all,
i know the health field sux now with DEA always on their backs,and from what I've read up on it the dr are scared of the government,dea being government,
this is a learning experience in how I always would run from ,making myself numb not dealing with it,
i go into see my dr again here few weeks,I have just found out that my dr will have to be the one to take the red flag off my records,I was so done wrong in this sit.yes I'm mad.trying not to stew over it,hard not to.
really just want it all to go away,disappear,I know it won't,I'll again have to talk to her my dr,I don't like being treated like their treating me at clinics.or if I have to go to er,the red flag will be there,
i know life ain't always fair,never will it be,I just have to work through all this,hope that dr will see that it was wrong,,
very upset over this....the DEA is really gotten bad here,I was told,
innocent ppl ,we are the ones to pay for it,
im afraid if something really bad happens to me they won't be able to give me anything for pain,that is how it is when yur red flagged .....................anyone else here ever had this experience? What happened?.
does help to share it here,
i know im innocent,im telling the truth,not in deniel on anything here.
feelings are hurt over dr covering for herself in making me out to be a lier.she should have never called me back n gave me the go ahead and fill it...then out right lie about it.....praying about it,,,letting it go,giving it to my hp,I'm powerless over others.
i can take action on my part,don't know what action to take other than keeping to the truth,not agreeing with dr .
a long story I know,I thank you for reading me.......((((((((((hugs)))))))) LU
(((LU))) - I have no experience in this arena but did want to send you some positive thoughts and prayers. I have been accused of being something or someone I am not, and you're right - it does not feel good. My best suggestion is to lean into your program, stand in your authenticity, say what you mean, mean what you say and not say it mean!
When I am discontent with an outcome, especially when I was doing the best I could to understand and respond instead of react, my sponsor suggests they answers are within. I do love that you wrote about it and that it brought you some peace - we say often around here to write about it, pray about it and talk about it.
Good to see you - keep coming back!

Thank you (((((iah))))
This is one hard decisions of not knowing what to do about it,
I am doing just as you have suggested ,keeping calm not reacting,staying true to myself and others,
Leaning into my program,leaving the outcome to my hp,trusting him .
I feel I should have a voice in this sit.i continue to speak my truth of what happened....letting it be.
((LU)) I am like IAH and never experienced this from the medical profession . zi can certainly understand your concerns
Program tools should help here-- stay in the moment and in the day, pray, trust HP to handle this ooing forward and know you are not alone
I also feel I have my rights here also,
As in asking my dr to take the red flag off my records,asking what I can do to have it removed ,this is a serious issue,
I need my MD Dr,,don't want to lose her,I also don't like being called a lier.
I'm stuck with not knowing what I can and cannot do in having it removed,
Don't know if I should just drop it,let it be on my record or try n fight it.dunno.
Thank you Betty,
I've decided to get my own documentation of the phone calls that were made at the time it began,
I have the outgoing calls of when I called my dr,and incoming calls where dr nurse called me back.
I've also found out that if they done their job right the nurse was suppose to document every phone call coming in and what was said ,
They should have this,hopefully they do,I'll have mine.
My proof that I'm in the right therefore red flag should be dropped,expunged from my records.
I believe it is just a huge mistake all the way around.
Because of the new rules n regs put in place by the DEA.
It's good to have these rules ,I can understand with so much drug addictions going on they have been trying to get a hold on it,or completely stopped,
That's been ongoing process,,affecting everyone.
I shall call the ama ,ty for suggesting that Betty..
I'll keep updating as I find out more........I'm glad I brought this sit.here...
