Re: Please help me, not sure if I sould be mad or scared!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I can relate. I have a female problem that I have had forever. My doc prescribes me 20 tylenol #3 each month. I have also been on and off pain medicine, Percocet for almost a year for a torn rotator cuff. Awhile back my neck went into severe spasms on a Saturday. By Monday I was in extreme pain and it was a holiday. I went to the ER and where they ask if you are on any medication I told them about the Tylenol #3, I wasn't on the percs at that time nor did I have any. Well...the doc (actually a PA) asked me why I just didn't take the codeine. I told her that my doc was very strict about it and it was a once a month refil. I also told her that I DID take a couple of them but they didn't work. Thats why I was there. She questioned me why it was written that way. Felt like I was getting the 3rd degree. I told her that I didn't know why, nor cared but that if I continued using them for my neck it was a waste as they didn't work and then I would be screwed when I needed them for my other problem. Honesty sometimes gets you nothing but grief. She ended up giving me Zanaflex and it worked like a charm. Shortly after that I went to the pharm to get my script for my female thing and they asked me if my doctor contacted me. I was confused and asked why. He said that my insurance company wrote my doctor a letter about all my scripts. I was blown away. I have always been honest with my GYNO, PC, and Ortho doc about the meds I am taking. My gyno and pc are from the same group so they share all info anyways, and the ortho doc sends everything to my pc..nothing to hide here. I was extremely ticked that my insurance red flagged me. My pharm thought nothing of it as he knows me and all my ailments. Sorry this is so long. It just seems as if nothing is private and we are guilty until proven innocent. Thanks for letting me vent. BTW.. I live in one of the states that monitor. Joejoeholly
