Many of us with experience pain management patients dread going to the doctor with the degrading feeling of being handed a cup to be drug tested to get a prescription for drugs. We immediately get sweaty palms and instantly feel accused of something we clearly did not do. The standard line is, "We want to make sure you are taking the medication we are prescribing." Why don't all my doctors do this same procedure to protect me as a patient. They don't because it is an invasion into privacy that only a pain management patient is all too familiar with. Why can they do this? Is it a law? When did it start? What repercussion does it have? All these questions run through my mind as well when sitting on that crinkly paper after I have peeded into a cup yet again at the clinic.
Stay tuned to our blog and we will walk you through the regulatory requirements associated with this invasive procedure into your privacy. The representative is the Texas State Congress created these laws and you should know what they are and who voted for them. We will explain this to you and how you can have a voice again!

New Year; New Endeavor
I am in the throws of what is the battle of my life up to this point. I
have Tarlov Cyst Disease, diagnosed after six grueling months of
misdiagnosis and accusations of anywhere from insanity to drug seeking.
This battle sparked an energetic, emotionally charged push toward
creation of this group. I am a pain management patient in Texas trying
to work through the onerous laws that come between me and my healthcare.
Privacy is non-existent and criminality of hurting occurs at each
appointment as I experience inadequate care and under prescribed
medication for pain. The Texas regulations must change; this is my first
step to advocate and lobby for those changes.
