A Hangover
We all have had a hangover or few in our lives. Admit it, unless you are a lifetime non-drinker you have had a hangover. Alcoholic hangovers happen. We all know the feelings - dehydrated, headache, general crappy feeling.But with RA and fibromyalgia there are other hangovers - activity hangovers. This happens when I, or anyone with these diseases, attempts to be a normal person. You act normal for one day and then spend three days paying the piper, so to speak.Someone else wrote about activity hangovers the other day which made me feel like I am not alone. She writes about going to a party and then feeling the pain. I, on ...

UnitedHealth ' s Optum Division Settles Case Alleging it Enrolled Non-Terminally Ill Patients in Hospice, Thus Risking Their Deaths Due to Treatable Illnesses
Discussion The problem of fraudulant enrollment of non-terminal patients in hospice continues, despite our efforts over five years to make the problem more public.   The latest case involved a very big, very wealthy for-profit health care corporation which has had its share of troubles in the past .   Yet the latest case is as anechoic as earlier ones, including smaller cases this year. These enrollments may be motivated by the desire for more money, but they put patients at risk.   Nonetheless, such abuses by hospices get little press coverage, seemingly are ignored by health care regulators and law enf...

History Repeating – Is Insys a Warner Chilcott Clone?
This article outlines the arrests, how they are similar to previous arrests, and what can (and should) be done to stop activities like this from happening. According to George Santayana, "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it". For the pharmaceutical industry, this appears to be true. Recently, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of two former employees of Insys Therapeutics for allegedly violating the Anti- Kickback Statute (AKS), as part of a scheme to pay doctors thousands of dollars to participate in sham educational programs. The purpose of th...

But I Can ' t Sleep
I ' m exhausted. We went away for the weekend and I needed more sleep. I always need more sleep. The only time I get enough sleep is when I can take a sleeping pill and it actually decides to work. But I haven ' t been able to sleep. My back is killing me. This has been two nights now. Crankiness may be showing up soon. My husband informed me this morning I need to stop going to bed so early so I don ' t wake up so early. I go to bed early because I am exhausted. Then my back hurts and I wake up. Even if I take my pain pills. This is very aggravating. I ' ll have to wait for my next pain management doctor appointment to...

What is our goal in pain management?
One of the cool things about having worked in chronic pain management since the mid-1980’s is that I’ve seen a few things come and a few things go.  Some things remain, of course, and the things that seem most long-lived are debates about pain reduction vs living with pain. On one hand, there’s an enormous industry set up to help people reduce their pain experience through pharmacology, injection procedures, surgery, hands-on therapy, movement practice, and novel approaches like brain stimulation and even mirror therapy. On the other hand, there’s a smaller but equally well-established industry est...

The Non-Opioid Abusers
Those of us who live with chronic pain take pain medication, including opioids. There has been quite a bit in the news about the growing opioid epidemic which is killing thousands of Americans. Most of those who die are abusers who overdose. The resulting laws trying to restrict access to opioids causes difficulties for those of us who actually live in chronic pain and need the opioids to function.Could you imagine needing to go back to your doctor's office to pick up a paper prescription to bring to your pharmacy to refill it? That is what happens now. Yes really. Can you imagine being in total pain and having to drive or...
