I was in extreme pain for years & someone told me to try Hydroxie I take it sometimes twice a day if I have no pain I don’t take it. I get it at Hydroxie.com
I get the 30 mg & split in half. No doctor would give me anything & it works. I have my life back
No, they say that because I'm a good girl they do not want to prescribe anything that I may become addicted to is what I was told. To be exact they said that because i have never been in a detox, arrested, have a solid work history, counseling and family support. They were concerned about prescribing anything. This is after 21 emergency room visit in one year. This was told to me by a addiction psychology and the Pain Dr. At this point i take tylenol and lay in bed. It's sad, detrimental to me. I am full of so much energy its unheard of and all I may do is be a prisoner in my home and mind. Thank you
That’s crazy. That should be an indication that you wouldn’t abuse the pain meds. Most doctors cannot write prescriptions for pain. You normally have to go to a Pain Management center. I'm concerned that someone would call you a "good girl" because does that mean the provider believes people who get pain medications are bad people?
I have seen more than 200 hundred doctors and specialists. Its just sickening
I am so sorry you are going through this. It's such a big issue for people who honestly are dealing with so much pain. I hope you find a doctor that will understand your needs and help you to find some relief. I know this is so hard to deal with. ~Racquel~ lupus.net(Team Member) I'm coming off Medrol (a steroid) and I'm having a weight issue as well. As for tramadol..🤢. It really didn't help and it took a long time to detox. 
, I'm sorry you're dealing with Medrol related wieght gain. I know it can be a real pain in the rear. I hope you don't experience increased pain or inflammation as you taper down the Medrol and that you are able to drop some of those extra pounds, should you want to.
Best, Erin, Team Member.
