Advice needed how to word a request for meds. Story in comments



Recommended Posts

My family got hit with the virus. I am the last one to get it. I have to do the iV today and tommorow

Before I called them I took the left over zofran which didn't work. Then they called me in some promethazine and maybe it helped a little.

On top of this I am experiencing excruciating pain under my ribs and on both sides of the tummy. Even my back hurts.

I had a couple of dosages of pain pills and they seemed to help.

I don't want to appear drug seeking but even it was just 2-3 days of meds she gave me I would be so happy.

I haven't slept in two days. One kid threw up on our bed and comforter like it was her job.

My poor soon his a big pooping machine and we had two blow ups with them.

Sorry so long. Thanks for the advice.

Ask for what you need. I work at a drug rehab. I also go to a pain clinic and am in and out of hospitals due to chronic pain from a spinal injury. I just tell them when I need more. I've never been accused of drug seeking. It's all in our heads in my opinion.

Promethazine also known as phenergan makes most people sleepy. Did it not have that affect on you? I agree with the previous comment, you should ask for what you need for sure. Pain is what you say it is. Maybe you could call your Primary care and get some meds for sleep?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
