I don’t know what to do with myself.

Thank you SO much, Vicki.

Amen

I thought about that Marie, but they would give me a narcotic, and I signed a pain contract with my pain doctor that I would not get something like that from anyone but him. They make anybody on pain medication do that now. At least in Oklahoma. I called that doctor about him forgetting to call my pain medication in, but the receptionist said he’s out of town. That was Monday. He apparently left quite a few patients up a creek.

@NJChicaa

@AmbiePam The contract is an agreement between you and him. It is null and void as he didn’t do what was promised!! I would think any ER doctor will agree and sign off on what you should have. The fact that he left you like this is not acceptable.

@AmbiePam When will he be back to call in your Rx?

Unfortunately, I don’t.

@GardenGerty I got (all his patients I assume) a text this morning that said he will probably be back by Wednesday, but for sure by a week from Monday. It’s going to be tough.

I did try that last night. I ended up listening to some really beautiful music, which took away some anxiety, but didn’t help me sleep.

@AmbiePam Listening to the music and relaxing is the first step, soon sleep will come easily.

Thank you, Eva.

Thanks, Lenore. I appreciate it. I don’t have any hot water in my apartment right now, but hopefully soon.

@AmbiePam No hot water? That sounds like a housing violation. That shouldn't be allowed to stand! What does the manager have to say about that? Poor Amber... A hot bath aids in relaxation.

@AmbiePam Is there somewhere close that has hot water? I want to come over and spank your supervisor.

Like a PA that could write the script with the doctor's permission?

@JudyEv I should call and ask. At the very least, I can periodically call to see if they are taking new patients.

@AmbiePam Can you go on a waiting list for the 'full' doctors? This is just an awful situation for you.

I appreciate it!

@AmbiePam Wow, most have a back up doctor taking emergency calls for them when they are out of town.

He’s out of town says his receptionist. He doesn’t have anyone covering him.

@AmbiePam That's ridiculous. He can call from out of town.

@AmbiePam I use it for leg cramps. Sometimes I wonder why we quit using all the "old" remedies and went with all this new stuff that turns out to be dangerous or just masks the original problem.

I can Doordash that.

Yes, I have a pain management doctor, but he forgot to refill my pain prescription and went out of town. I’ve had several surgeries and procedures over the years.

Yes, thank you.

@ambiepam You can also take five naproxen (which equals prescription strength as per one of my old doctors, who went on leave to travel with her husband. You have to wait longer than 4 hours for repeat though.

@2ndchances24 I just wanted to give her the information since she is in extreme pain. I know it is not something that should be taken all the time or at that dosage all the time.

@kareng I wouldn't do that cause they are very powerful as I take 2 at 500 mg & my dr's didn't like the sound of that cause they can cause problems later on in life if you take too many for a period of time, so I try not to unless it's a must do thing, I need my life. Here is a little tip for people taking naproxen On why you have to careful taking it.
