Also, whenever I pick stuff up that I have to SIGN FOR, EVERY employee can't keep from looking to see WHO is picking up the narcotic pain meds...makes me want to barf...and yes, I've switched pharmacies...these days I walk in and stare them down with my head held high.
It was MY fault about the patch, I know because I had several patches fall off/not stick for the entire 48 hrs in which I am prescribed them. I plan on addressing this with my doc, but he has already told me to "ask the pharmacist for ideas" I've BEEN there and done that - I will have to make these things stick when I sweat and sit outdoors.View Thread

In the past I have written the day and time to change it - ON the patch itself with a Sharpie marker - works great and is practically waterproof.
I'm sooo glad to hear that you have a positive experience at the ER each time, and you feel like you can go back. I think many of us get scared away, but I'm lucky that I haven't had to go relative to my chronic pain issues. I have felt like it many times, but I end up toughing it out some way or another..but then again, It probably isn't as bad as what many here go through. Have a great day, BView Thread

Does it hurt after intercourse? From sitting? Does sitting on the toilet reliev the pain? Your pelvic floor muscles could just be really tight. Or you could have fibroids? Or you could have the mid-cycle pain with ovulation....etc. Could you be more specific and maybe someone could help you? In the meantime, you should make an appt. with your doc at the least, if not your OBGYN if it is pain that has lasted more than several days. Good luck, and welcome to our pain management exchange, BView Thread

So all-in-all that is a great idea. I am not certain that anyone will take, but if someone offered a negative experience (if they shall feel compelled), then turn around and offer a positive one, then that would be more productive, right???
OR if one member offered a negative experience, then the next offered a positive experience that they had under similar circumstances (or as a result of a strikingly similar situation), then we could take away a lot more than from those who have fallen victim to the negativity.
I hope someone at least will jump in. I am all for the positive! and I believe that someone else out there can offer ideas and promote that positivity globally, peace, man, (sorry, had to-but that is what I'm about) -BView Thread
