Guess what I found?! Yep, up here at the cabin......my fentanyl patch prescription! I am my own worst enemy. Of course, cannot refill up here at a different pharmacy per contract rules, but I will call them when I get back in twin cities and be advised. Color me

Re: Guess what I found?! Yee Haw!!! At least you now have it back in your hot little hands
I've thrown out a paycheque, plane tickets...on and on...all before I started taking pain meds
Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things. Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!
Re: Guess what I found?! Good for you! I found a set of 3 prescriptions that I had misplaced for over several years not too long ago and one of the scripts made the doctor question whether I was "abusing" my fioricet. I had to switch doctors as after that he only would give me 30 pills a month and I used to have quite frequent migraines (his recommendation was to prophylax with a pill/day vs. using them for migraine h/a).
Congrats on finding your script!!!!
