After talking to my friend again, she said her doc had to send in her medical records to whatever powers that be, I am getting this info from her, and she is very upset so I am so sorry I can't give you any clearer explanation. She did say that her doc found out this deal shouldn't effect her breakthru meds...percs, just the oxy. Her doc, who is GREAT I must say, said this regulation, I hesitate to call it a law because I just don't know, ONLY effects oxy. Someone decided that anyone getting an amount over 120...don't know if milligrams are taken into consideration... hers are 40's, anyway they decided that particular amount would kill EVERYBODY taking it and they must be SELLING THEM. Her doc up'd her milligrams to 80, she got her prescription and is doing much better and should be able to get her breakthru's tomorrow, so I'll update you guys. Another friend with MS got the same 120 story (Walgreens is the pharmacy, they are the only pharmacy around who carry the quantity and are so awful awful to chronic pain patients. This is getting too long so I'll let you guys know how the refill of the percs goes. I can't believe somebody can arbitrarily decide on a number and label us (CP folks) drug dealers. I am going to do some research and try to figure out what is going on. Thanks guys for the responses, they really helped.
