thank you for your reply
> Maybe you could just find some chronic back or neck pain, etc. to complain about, and go to some other doctor than your pdoc?
>One of the clouds I currently live under is that in admitting my depression, the state decided I needed to be 'monitored' in order for me to be licensed as a massage therapist. Florida is the ONLY state in this country that considers depression a potentially 'public menace' and one of the conditions of the contract is that I have to submit ALL prescriptions written.
Interestingly, depression carries a 5 year contract, whereas any chronic pain condition means monitoring forever! So I have to be careful... I also doubt I could get a doctor to willingly write me a monthly prescription... pain killers are notoriously under prescribed and feared... I actually do have legitimate conditions but deliberately downplay them.
> How about ordering opium poppy seeds, growing them, and harvesting the opium?
That might be worth a try, though I'm not the best for growing things LOL I don't even know if opium would give me what I need... but that said, I may look into it just for the pleasure to trying to get something to live :)
thanks again for posting to me
namaste,
