I hope your insurance change is for the better! If my pre cert gets approved for my medication on Oct 15th it will have been 6 months since the doctor prescribed it. No one needs to go through that nightmare. They also tell me it is a nurse at Aetna that makes the decision. My double PHD doctor prescribes it and a nurse denied it.!! Insurance companies have way too much power.

I was able to detox myself off the opiates. I went from 15mg. to 7.5mg to 4mg then zero. The withdrawals weren't bad at all compared to my pain level. It went from 7/10 to 9/10. I dont see how they can put me in a detox if Im off the opiates but now Im suffering terribly. I'm using my TENS and hydrocollator but cant use them forever. I need a pain manager not an addiction doctor. Addicts dont go from 90mg. to 15mg. for months and then detox themselves. (maybe they can I dunno) but I doubt any detox would take me now. Liberty Mutual should pay for every minute of my discomfort since their client ruined my life. (As I lay here in awful pain trying to prove a point to my lawyer,judge,LibertyMutual lawyer etc...) How stupid has pain management got??????WoW!!!

Eddie G,
You certainly got off those meds pretty quickly. I do understand your severe pain and have been there myself. With little pain relief, I might add, but not with none. I don't know how you do this. I couldn't sleep at all when my pain was severe for 5 weeks . I have had other severe times, but reasonable amounts of pain relief or at least a doctor trying hard to relieve it. I sure hope you can get a good doctor who cares and can help you. I am being referred to a new pain management doctor and will see him in 2 weeks. I hope he is better than my last one. Judy
