HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted July 15, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 15, 2009 SO much for them calling me on Monday or Tuesday to let me know about my medications, etc. Imagine that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted July 16, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 16, 2009 Still not a single word from them! I am suffering from a major flare up of sciatica that started yesterday, and I am having to take more darvocet instead of tapering off of them. I have a dental appointment at the VA this morning, and I'm going to see if they have possibly sent a letter out, which seems to be what she prefers. She must be scared to talk to vets on the phone. Either way, I will be calling this evening to make a appointment with her. I am also going to try to stop by records and get a copy of my pain agreement. I also want to get a copy of any flags that I may have in the system. I just have a funny feeling that I have been flagged for some reason.

BoonDoc Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Rental I can tell you that the problem you have is not unusual. What I need to know is how do we get some relief from these opressive Doctors? Me I suffer from Artheritis and IVDS and both knees. I had my Doctor out on vacation last week and since I am also under contract (Which I Hate) I go by their rules. My back has given me fits with spasm and a lot of extra pain. I had been in the bed for the most part of a week it was bad when my back goes out. I call in to speak to them on their phone lines and I am told since my Doctor was on vacation I should take some Tylenol. I was so mad. I have no recourse other than firing them for violation of the pain agreement? What should or who should I call? I am at the point of being a snowbird and taking off to another country this fall as the winter kicks my tail and the way valid SC bad back veterans are all under the evil eye. I hope it works out but to be honest it is just as bad on the outisde. I am serioulsy looking to move to the Phillippines this fall where my buddie lives he says that a lot of veterans are able to buy their meds a whole hell of a lot easier there in the Pharmacys there than it is to get proper treatment here. Any ideas or advice I look forward to hearing from anyone. Have a good day...... I am thinking about moving back the Philippines myself, last time we sent money over there the exchange rate was 48.26 PP/1 USD; my wife is Filipina, so she likes the ideal too. I have to admit it's not as comfortable taking public transportation, but everything has a trade off AS long as you are near Metro Manila or Cebu you shouldn't have a problem, but research first...I had trouble getting Xanax, but that was in 1995...The P.I. didn't have it yet ( or so I was told). I saw a pain clinic in the metro Manila area online searching. I use a private pain clinic, and get my meds from the VA. At first I went years complaining of severe pain and was given 6 to 8 800 mg of Tylonol a day. Now they know that that is way to much Tylonol for the liver to handle...maybe they knew that back then too!? It dodn't touch the pain, so I didn't take it. Hope you get this worked out soon.

Just a thought. carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
