Does anyone know if this is REALLY true that the pharmacys get RE-STOCKED only once a mo. @ the beginning of the month?? I live in the Orlando/Daytona area & due to Morphine/Dilaudids ect... not easing my chronic pain the Dr recently switched me to the oxycodone 30mg. 180 pills. I have been to at least a dozen places & they ALL say they're BACKORDERED if they get them in again at all?  I now wish I had stayed on the morphine/dilaudids as they did provide better relief than NADA!!! I realize that this new DATA BASE thing Gov SNOTT is against is prob. a good idea for people such as myself who REALLY need the MEDS but I also am so worried about everyone knowing my PRIVATE BUSINESS!!  I grew up here in this state & I do NOT appreciate the PILL PUSHERS/ INDIAN/PAKISTANY/MONEY & HUNGRYs making it hard for people like us w/TERMINAL or CHRONIC issues to have to SUFFER!! I can fill a script for XANAX which I absolutely do NOT NEED but can't fill the oxy bc of SUPPLY/DEMAND!!??   I remember the day when I was ONE OF THOSE who even w/documentation of CHRONIC ILLNESS/PAIN had to litterally send out loved ones TO THE PUSHERS (Old ladys as stated above inc.) and pay $10 just so I could STOP CRYING from the pain for 3-4 HOURS!! IF I have to CAMP OUT @ my local pharmacy that filled the 1st perscription SO BE IT because no matter how bad my pain I totally REFUSE to help the PUSHERS/GAUGERS take advantage of my TERMINAL SITUATION ever again!!!    I saw down in S Fla (Broward) I believe the 1/2 dozen or so PROTESTORS trying to STOP THE PILL MILLS on the news Presidents Day. What about US, the ones w/CHRONIC PAIN/TERMINAL ILLNESSES that can't seem to get our FAMILY Dr or even our SPECIALIST to write a script for OXYCODONE because they're AFRAID of a LAWSUIT or being MARKED as "PILL MILLS"???  WHERE do we go then??  The Gov. has made it to where we have no other choice but to go to a PAIN MGMT. CLINIC in order to get the MEDS we need to FUNCTION on a daily basis!!   I can't believe that my GI actually TOLD ME THAT!!  In order for me to get what I need to EASE MY SUFFERING I either had to BUY OFF THE STREET or go to a "PILL MILL"/ PAIN CLINIC!!!   SO NOW WHAT?  I pay the ASTRONOMICAL OFFICE VISIT (CASH ONLY) PRICE of $200 for WHAT???  For every pharmacy in town AND as far as 50 miles away to tell me NO MEDS!! I'm appalled at this MESSED UP SYSTEM & here I sit ALMOST ready to put my pistol to my head to EASE THE PAIN!!  Oh, they haven't taken my RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS/WEAPONS PERMIT away as of yet but you can bet that will be next on the Gov.s MESSED UP agenda!! Also; does anyone know the difference between the MORPHINE & DILAUDID pills I was taking & the OXYCODONE?? I mean besides the mg. of course?? I was thinking that OXY was just a derivative (sp-sorry) just a FORM of MORPHINE so I'm curious as to why the Morphine didn't ease my pain as the Oxycodone does? Thanks to ANYONE in ADVANCE if you tell me for sure WHEN to PITCH MY TENT outside of my local WALGREENS where I got it filled last month? IF they get REPLENISHED at the beginning of the mo. you can bet I'll be there & oh yes; will prob. be NEWSWORTHY or then again; the GOV. doesn't seem to care about those of us that can't MOVE in the mornings w/o STRONG PAIN MEDS :-(   Even though I REALLY needed a WHOLE pill I was breaking in HALF bc I felt that some pain is better than NO pain MEDS & GOD was I correct bc I still have a few from LAST MO.!! SO SORRY TO VENT SO MUCH :-(   PAIN & the idiotic GOVERNMENT RULES will PISS U OFF if you let it!
