Medicare Check-Up and Pain Management

Well πŸ™‚ sure is a deep subject. It's very cold here in the south and hard on my spine bones. I have a well check up for Medicare tomorrow. Nothing will be done for my pain. I'll find out about my sinus infection and flu shot. The CDC gave new guidelines for pain medication yet it won't matter. Doing my best in this situation and hopefully y'all πŸ™ will have a great day! Hugs πŸ€—πŸŒΉ

βœ‹πŸ€—πŸ˜₯πŸ’•πŸ™β€οΈ Hi thanks for saying Hi, it's the perfect time after my shitty day! I appreciate your helpful words indeed πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸŒΉ. I'm in Mississippi, down on the coast. Been cold as ugh! I used to live in Brooklyn and NY years ago. I know that NY cold blows. Hoping your gonna feel better fast. Healing vibes to ya! This is the worst state for being in pain and being ignored. The scam these pain clinic's should be shut down. All they do promise help,but only offer lies and spine injections. Most Doctors and others know all about it,yet do nothing. Sorry if I'm ranting. In time I will write ✍️ about it whatever it's worth. I told the NP doing my so called wellness ( mandatory for Medicare) I felt like I had razors in my butt and spine. Etc same ole story,see a shrink so at least can get a trank. It's a rigged game, making the last of my prescription for headache meds, from September,last to get to Xmas. Will be 68 whoppie! Going to continue to take notes on how this is going. Then send to Pain federation, and CDC etc. Anyone who wants to know the truth of medication shaming and the effects on this Grandma and so many people. Will be the first topic on my neglected blog! Prayers please that this year will happen for me. God bless you

I used to be on Vicodin,10 mg,4 times a day! After a two year bout of cancer! Never once abused them! Then the opioid pandemic started and my doctor was so awesome and helped me get off them slowly! But then he got sent to jail for a year! I wrote a 12 page letter to the judge saying he is not one of those doctors! He was already incredibly rich,from his own country and saved my life literally twice! One from alcoholism,sober 25 years the second being stage 4 nonhodgekin lymphoma, in remission 14 years! If not for that man I would be dead! Blessings always, Dr.Brij Vaid! You are an angel πŸ˜‡

You tried to help him but the legal system doesn't really care about that. You're both in my prayers

Love the deep well comment. Had a friend add... For a shallow mind. Know about aching bones. I'm in Colorado and we're hitting below zero. I use as much technology as I can to stay warm. Trying to secure an electric blanket but can't afford it right now. So I throw several clean towels in the dryer and when they're ready I cocoon myself. Hope you're doing better
