I guess I'll start out. Ten or so years ago, it was fairly easy to order medicine like phentermine, Soma, etc., with a relatively short wait. Then, the powers that be decided we Missourians were too stupid to think for ourselves and basically shut down ANYTHING coming to the state. Now, I wouldn't complain too much about this, but I'll be damned if this state isn't THE meth capitol of the USA! You can find a way to make meth, but you can't get medicines you need.

Land of the free and home of the stupid, I say. If anyone has any idea of how to get around this AND receive the medicine they need, I'd appreciate it. I know you can rent a mailbox which will have an address from any state in the Union, but I'd like the package to come to my house with as little interference as possible.

Same here, gone are the "GOOD" old days!
I haven't found a place in a looooong time,

Hello neighbours, I am in the same boat. I had a great doctor for 17 years. We had a wonderful, honest relationship and he treated me like an actual person, unlike most doctors of this younger generation. Now that he is retired and gone, so is my health care. I have been searching for two years now and still have not found a doctor willing to do anything to help me. We Missourians are screwed beyond all recognition. I am a former military vet. and proud American who served his country with honor and even I have given serious consideration to moving to Canada just to receive adequate medical care. All I want to do is live my life without the daily battle of living a life full of pain. It's not fair for us to have to live like this and something needs to be done. We send billions of dollars all around the world to help people in "need" but totally neglect the millions of U.S. citizens that needlessly suffer on a daily basis right in our own backyard. I hope you are proud of yourself Mr. DEA agent, knowing that millions of people and their families suffer on a daily basis as a direct result of your actions. I can only wish that they would have to walk just ONE day in our shoes and then see how they feel about their war on drugs.

Mizzou!

If your looking for a Doctor www.eclinicmd.com has on in Hazelwood. Write them and email for info.

Thank you VERY much for that information. Hazelwood is well within driving distance for me. I will most certainly be looking into your suggestion. Thanks again!

Do they help with meds? Cuz my current doctor has denied my script that he has given me for over 9 months...I was in a car accident and have been prescribed vicodin for the neck and back pain...also Tramadol...which in my opinion is not that effective...I need help finding a new doc or a compassionate one....for my meds

www.eclinicmd.com lost there Doctor in Hazelwood Mo, but they still have one in Kansas City, I don't know where you live but if you records are that current and it not an injury that healed you could give them a try. The only reason I ask why did your current Doc cut you completely off.

Yep, I ended up going to the Dr. in KC because the CS staff actually told me the Dr. in Hazelwood may be leaving soon. I had a wonderful experience with the Dr. in KC and couldn't be happier with elinicmd's service as a whole. Thanks again pixy for you advice!

Good for you that what I like to see satisfied patients. Hope you got what you wanted and them some

I went back to see him and he decided to send me to a pain mangment clinic...which I have been to but all they want to do is give me a shot in the back of my neck...ack! I had one previously and I was in pain for a week + ...and no solution to the pain....I think my doc was getting nervous about prescribing those types of meds...even though my condition is legit.....I am thinking of trying that website you mentioned...because I refuse to see the pain mgmt doc again...he just insists on a shot every single time...he is a douche!

See ProudAmerican thread above about his experience with the www.eclinicmd.com Doc in KC. You only have to go once a year.

So how does this site work? you have to pay to get the information on there? meaning you pay over two hundred dollars to sched an appt? that sounds kinda scammy....why doesn't the doctor office just post his location....

Interesting question. Why doesn't the "referral company" just post the name of the doctors on their web site which they are required to do according to the recent Ryan Haight Act legislation?
Maybe you should direct that question to the people who run the eclinicmd.com business.
If you get a response from them, hopefully you will return here and tell everyone what they said.

Name one referral service that gives the Doctors name. What would you need them for, don't be cute. These people do this for money or maybe you have this F2F thing confused with the United Way.

I only know what I read in the bill that was signed into law this year.
It's not a matter of being "cute."
If no referral service is including the physicians' information (whom they are in business with) on their web site then they are not in compliance with the law. Simple as that.
You should read it for yourself before you decide who is confused here.

They are nothing more than a Doctors billing service. RH says no pharmacys's, I agree, also no claims of you will be supplied with narcotics. They are RH compliant they do nothing more than Billing Concepts that recommends Doctors that use there billing services and they do business in all 50 states. The guys that have problems are the ones that claim to treat Cronic Pain wink wink and have there own pharmacy. Billing services don't even have to comply with RH. I'm 60 years old kid and never been busted and you think I didn't check this place out. I anin't about to get popped for some crummy pills.

Haven't been called a kid in about 40 years so thanks for the laugh.
No need to debate about the specifics of this legislation. I read it and understand what its purpose is and what it requires.
You say you read it and disagree.
Time will tell which interpretation is correct.

whoa..didnt mean to start such a debate...I was just asking a question...but I understand they are all out to make a buck...I am gonna address my question to the website and let you know what I find out....I still do appreciate all input...so thanks pixy...you still are very helpful...to me and others...so that's my 2 cents...

I have to apoligize to both martind and Stefu I got an E-mail from Eclinicmd last night that they have a pharmacy in Texas only that would fill expensive scripts at discount card prices. I knew they were offering discount cards so does billing concepts so I figured no biggy. But I do not think that and of the OCS should be recommended pharmacys. I ve called and I agree if you want V cut Valiums its going to be expensive but thats the patients decision the OCS needs to keep there distance and provice a billing service and only for doctors services. They did say they have nothing to do with the Pharmacy but to me your getting one step closer to meeting Mr. Friendly.

Sorry I didn't responded sooner but, yes I did got exactly what I needed. Of course, I have very good records and have been taking the exact med and count I requested for several years now.

Thanks again for your advice, it certainly has made a difference in my life

depending on what part of missouri you live in, 1st class care has an office in tulsa. they say you can fill your scripts in missouri and can even get more than one script at a time. i have not tried this but this is what the site says if you email them.

tulsa? like in Okie? lol...sorry thats a ways....hey rust you from the show me as well? just wondering...

yea closer to ok than st louis but not far from kc

If you decide to use them, the KC doctor is very good. After about an hour exam, the doctor decided to continue the same regimen I have been on for the last year or so. I was asked if I would be willing to do PT to help improve my range of motion and I said even though it hasn't worked in the past, I would be willing to do whatever they suggest.

I don't know if I like the idea that they seem to be encourging their patients to double dip, at least that was my impression of what was posted earlier. If that post was accurate, they might not be around very long which is a shame.

He isn't located in a pain mgmt center is he?

ProuadAmerican it sounds to me like were in the same boaat I've got about a half dozen pieces of metal floating arount in my back and the Doc down in San Antonio wants to see if he can get a couple of them to move towards the surface We"ll see if it works

I thought that TN. Was the meth capitol , it's everywhere in this state , the governor had all the over the counter cold meds locked up a few years back and you have to sign for it and it all goes into the data base in Nashville. Now meth is coming here from Mexico , much more potent than what was being made here. WHY IS'NT THE DEA DOING THEIR JOBS????????? like fighting the cartel? like i keep saying they are freaking cowards and want to hassle legit pain patients and their docs they are not earning their living meth is destroying more peoples lives than all the pain meds in the state of TN and MO.combined.

missouri clames to be the the meth capitol but i think they just make more bust per capita. east tn ,bama. western nc kentuk and that whole area is pretty bad. but look at suthern cali. folks its everywhere and i mighht offend some people but iv'e seen this one take alot of folks down. i know i do my thing but i'm not a supporter of meth
