Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

Oh yes. My boyfriend and I had teeth pulled at about the same time, by the same dentist. I had three wisdom teeth pulled (one cut out) and he had one tooth pulled after I had my surgery. I got five Percocets, 5 mg each, and he got 20 Percocets, 10 mg. each. We both weigh about the same.

Plus, he called the dentist emergency line over the weekend and got about 30 Vicoden, just to keep around to get high on.

I used my Percocets very sparingly (boyfriend did not have his yet, so I could not borrow one from him). I didn't even think to ask for any more from the dentist, since I figured I would be turned down (I have had bad experiences with doctors/dentists who care more about trying to shame me about my weight -- about 160 -- and treat me like a drug addict, to dare ask.)

I have still have back pain from a car accident and a domestic violence incident (in a previous relationship), but when I mention it to my doctor, he just say oh take some Tylenol. I'm sure if I had a penis or was a lower weight female he might pay more attention to me. So I can't even get documentation since he refuses to x-ray me or treat me in any way for my back pain, and acts so snotty. I would change doctors but I have the sinking feeling they are all the same.

I was considering ordering some stronger pain meds online to keep around in case of bad flareups, but since I don't have records I feel I'm SOL. If my doctor would pay attention to me, I could get meds by just paying my insurance copays, instead of the high online prices.

Grrrrr...
