Journal Entry for October 6, 2007 Mood
Saturday, October 6, 2007
Today is a tough day.  I had a weird experience about a week ago.  I was coming home from the pharmacy with my prescriptions and I made one stop at a market to pick up something very quickly that I had forgotten to get.  I had been having trouble with my key box that locks the car it needed a new battery so I went in with just a $20 in my pocket didn't want to carry my purse in pain.  So I thought I locke the car and I got my packs of cookies and went home put all groceries and other items from pharmacy away.  Then the next day it was time to fill my med box up for the week I went to the cupboard where I usually keep meds and I realized I hadn't seen the medicines I had picked up.  I ripped my car apart, double checked all spots in house and called the pharmacy and they said check under your seats (I had already).  My medicine was nowhere to be found.  It was either stolen from my car or the new girl at the pharmacy didn't give it to me.  It was the only time I had not been shown the bottles of medicine on the counter and then it is put in a bag.  She had to go in the back and get it and she sort of leaned toward the plastic bags and put the other items in it and handed me my bags and I went directly to my car and then as I stated above.  My medicine hasn't shown up and I am now in withdrawal I didn't tell my doctor because they wouldn't believe me that I lost my oxcotin prescription since it is the most abused medicine so I have been trying to adjust my life accordingly.  My dose has been cut down by 2/3 in a very short amount of time.  I realize that I have been dependant on my medicine so long that maybe this is a good thing in some way too.  So I am working my way through what life has given me.  Oh yea, the girl who was working her first few days at pharmacy that day hasn't been there since..?

    Hi gemini. I don't know if you got my last e-mail. Sometimes this reply part confuses me and it gets lost in cyberspace. Anyway, about your meds: I have made several references in my profile, and more than a few rants about the availabiliy (or lack thereof) of anything in the OXY group. Anyone here in chronic pain knows that morphine or anything resembling morphine is the real deal, the only thing that actually works. And I think we all know how addictive it is and that it has limited use due to tolerance buildup. But why are we always made to feel like GUILTY DRUG FIENDS if the prescription is too small or it simply gets lost. Not fair! Unless you really do feel it is a blessing to have to cut back, or somewhere inside you feel like you might be addicted, I would tell the Doctor. I mean, sh*t happens! And another thing while I'm at it. What is bloody wrong with feeling high, feeling like a party, after so many hours of suffering? Give me a break. I find this whole drug withholding thing smacks of (pardon the pun) moral Victorianism. I mean God help us if we actually experience a few moments of joy, albeit artificial, out of so many hours of pain. Arggggggghh I say! Don't get me started! Take care. Thanks for listening to my rant.

    Well I do agree tho because We are made to feel like druggies if we run out or even use the perscribed amount which alot off the time u only get two weeks and they say 1 tab 4 X each day or every 4 hours as needed...BUT for 30 pills that last about 1 week and they look atyou like you are a druggie because they dont last you a whomemonth Thats alot of B S
