[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised by these stories of people getting 100 Percocet from a doc. I know it happens, but I've had chronic pain for years and it is an extremely arduous process to obtain any opiod. I've been to probably 15different neurologist and pain docs and over half of them will not prescribe opiods for people with chronic illness.[/quote]
Ha! I don't believe you.[/quote]

Well, it's true. Several practices even have signs in the lobby stating that they won't even discuss opiod or long term opiod use. Even Johns Hopkins has a similar policy, though I don't think they advertise it. I guess that's why nobody was in the waiting room last time I went! Lol[/quote]
At a pain management clinic? Or a regular physician practice?[/quote]

Not PP, but another chronic pain patient (I have Ehlers-Danlos).  I have run into the same thing when seeing "normal" doctors around DC for the last decade.  Many regular physicians and pain clinics will tell you outright that they do not prescribe X, Y, and Z.  If you go to a legitimate doctor with legitimate pain, it can be truly hard to get effective treatment.  My current doctor made me sign a contract and do urine testing to get 10 pills to be used over 6 months when a joint randomly dislocates on me.

The problem is how to crack down on "pill farms" run by sketchy doctors without harming people who actually need medication.[/quote]

Kind of off topic but PP, I have Ehlers Danlos as well and have had good luck at Capital spine and Pain in reston with Dr Balint, he has many eDS patients.[/quote]
