This is unbelievable! What ins co is this???

Luckily my ins co has not been a problem to "cover"the meds I need. I am trying to stay with my pcp for the meds and have managed to stay clear of the pm dr for the time being. I detoxed twice last year and now on high lyrica, max ibo with standby opioids and barely functioning. I am one of those too who actually needs quite a bit to actually get pain relief and then the dose go up has I start going on withdrawals sooner and sooner. I never found the plateau and quit instead. Getting the opioids is hard, even small amounts... and I am xtremely reasonable and go with a lot of pain, often so see what my body does without the meds and yes, it still hurts!

I am really afraid of these scenarious: my doc of 25 years retiring soon and suddenly and then having to explain the whole thing to a pm doc and or another primary care physican. But the insurance suddently cutting the meds, is that legal??
