I feel let down by the system. First of all 8 months ago my doctor Dr. Lockard terminated me after 16 years of being a good patient. I came up positive on a urinalysis and instead of giving me another test which would have proved I didn't take anything I wasn't prescribed I was terminated. I was on the medication because of serious chronic pain. Degenerative stenosis of the spine, I had no reason to take anything else because my doctor had given me back an acceptable level of life. It wasn't perfect but acceptable. For 8 months I have been to a number of doctors who said they couldn't or wouldn't help me. I've been treated like dirt a drug addict or worse, just hung up on. I have been forced into a situation I would have never considered before. I am at the point where taking my own life is preferable than this so called life I have been forced to tolerate. It has come down to either that or turning to a life of abuse in order to get some relief. I haven't gotten that far yet but at this time I don't see whether I have a choice. If anyone can see a different path for me I would be happy to listen. My sister waits on me hand and foot since she saw how much weight I've lost (over 50 pounds) she knew I wasn't doing well. I'm only holding on for my loved ones, once I start hurting them more by being here my choice will have been made for me. Thank you for listening.
