I am a 100% service connected disabled veteran, former news journalist. The VA has been giving me 10milligrams of methadone a day and 10 milligrams of oxycodone for breakthrough pain, for 27 years. They assured me this would be safe and had me sign a drug use contract. I have had no bad urines in this time and now suddenly they want me to begin detox, I have high blood pressure, ptsd, diabetes, panic attacks and they set me up with 5 doctors to assess my pain management with physiologist, to inject me with cortisone into my spine and neck which will cause my uncontrolled diabetes to soar. These doctors are trying to drive me nuts. They put me on Effexor, BP meds, diabetes meds, a chiropractor, etc., but would not even examine my torn meniscus from an accidental twisting of my knee! That was excruciating pain and they have done nothing but give me an mri which confirmed the torn meniscus.
