Marshall,
It's funny, but today at lunch I was talking about how much trouble some of you have getting meds when you need them. My neuros (2 of 'em)- one has migraines and the other CH. They never even fuss at me about taking too much of anyting. Guess that's the difference between "treating" a patient and "understanding" a patient.
Guess I've been lucky. My GP (or whatever they're called these days) doesn't argue with me if I call and tell him I need a scrip for something or other. He knows I won't call unless I NEED it.
Maybe you should find another doc or have a long talk with the one you have and just explain that when you HURT you WANT something to STOP it. Take a baseball bat with you - sometimes you have to get their attention first! LOL
So many docs So little knowledge. OUCH Education for all!
Hugs BD
