We killed Joseph Glass for the first time on August 18th, 1999. I knew he was a strange case since day one. Never seen a guy so happy to die before. It was like we were doing him a favor. He refused the automatic appeal. He refused to be seen by a chaplain. He just wanted it over with. It had only t

**\*\*\*UPDATE 9-7-2024\*\*\*** Sorry it took a while, but I finally got test results back from the doctor.

Hello everyone. My partner posted about two weeks ago about an orange stray cat that we had rescued and adopted. He had many health ailments that we were taking care of including hyperthyroidism, kidney and liver disease, a heart murmur, potassium deficiency, tooth decay and we later found out as we
I found this weird honestly. In my country, on the FDA site it says that benzos are controlled and need a prescription. So obviously you cant get it without visiting a doctor. SSRIs such as sertaline are uncontrolled but need a prescription. How could something be uncontrolled but still need a pres

I am absolutely going to scream! I had a vacation recently with friends where on the last day my meloxicam got packed into the bag, was unreachable and I hit a flareup mid morning. Not proud of it but I had a meltdown at some point because everything was too much and they wanted to discuss everythin
My pain doctor increased my hydrocodone from 3 a day to 4 a day. My pharmacist refused to fill the prescription. The prescription was sent to them on 10/6. They didn’t fill it. So my Dr sent it again on 10/22. Now I have 2 pills left, and the pharmacist said he needs the Dr to write out his detail

I had to tag this as funny, in a very sarcastic way. Talk about feeling unseen. I am on meloxicam, cymbalta and Humira for my RA. Stretching, Epsom salts baths, plant based diet just in case, meditate, starting therapy, limit my caffeine, medical marijuana. I know what I forgot, ibuprofen!

I've had pain for years and have tried everything over the counter as well as Celebrex, Meloxic
After struggling for years with doctors that either don't take me seriously, try stupid solutions that dont work or just help me learn to "cope with it" instead of working on a diagnosis i got a new primary doctor THAT ACTUALLY LISTENS!!!!

Memorial day weekend of 2023 my car got totaled on a drivers side impact, and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. I'v
What’s up with Pain management drs not giving out pain killers to people who actually need it? Not everyone has addictive behaviors! I just had shoulder surgery was given a script of 30 OxyContin 5s that’s it and when I asked surgeon to get it refilled I was told to go to pain management. So I go to
