I experienced much of what this article linked here above at my local Walgreens in Nevada in the last week!
I am getting doggone miffed at being targeted by doctors and now pharmacies for the use of pain medication. I hate that I need it, but I surely do need it. I get further whipped senseless and very unfairly when I already have a chronic and extremely painful condition.
This new policy causes great delay, (nearly a week to get a prescription filled,) bottlenecks in communication between doctors and the pharmacy and even further unrest between patients and their doctors when many doctors already do not want to deal with chronic pain patients for exactly some of these reasons!
I already experience inadequate treatment and medication. I already experience inadequate support from insurance companies and doctors. Now pharmacies are on the bandwagon too. It is more than a chronic pain body can cope with at times, and it is completely unacceptable!
I am now going to find myself a new pharmacy. And I am also going to begin openly protesting all of this, blogging about it, and posting about it, even though I hate sharing my privacy about this subject openly--something has GOT TO GIVE!
Chronic Pain patients, Fibromyalgia folks, need to stand up and fight back--if we can garner enough strength with which to fight!
We need compassion and support, not even more obstacles to drag our already painful and exhausted bodies over in order to get even minimal to zero treatment.
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!
