[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL is in her 80s and suffers from severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoperosis, spinal stenosis (she's had several surgeries for this), and circulatory problems.  She takes one Vicodin per day, never more than that unless she's just had surgery, which allows her to at least get out of her wheelchair and onto her shower seat or the toilet without as much pain as she'd otherwise have.  My FIL, who is also in his 80s, is her primary caregiver--all of their adult children have offered/ begged them to move into our homes and they have so far stubbornly refused.  Thankfully, my FIL is still very healthy and spry despite his age.  However, my MIL must now must go to the doctor every single month to get a refill on her meds, rather than have it called into the pharmacy or get a script with multiple refills.  She's immunosuppressed due to her various medical issues and it's not easy for her to get in and out of the car.  This is a huge pain in the ass for her and my FIL and I really wish there could be a reasonable middle ground.  [/quote]

Blame the intrusive DEA, not the doctor, he is playing by their rules. The DEA has the doctors scared to death.

My sympathy in this case is with your mother, the government has put her in this position by their rules to weed out the abusers.[/quote]
