So...today was my appointment day. I always get a little nervous each time. Why? NO GOOD REASON. So much is out of your control when you are a #PainPatient.

My appointment could not have gone worse. I was fired from my pain clinic. Apparently I failed my drug test. The thing is:

I didn& #39;t take anything but the appropriate meds, so I& #39;m left feeling completely gobsmacked, abandoned, & thoroughly #stigmatized.

I& #39;m joining the ranks of many #PeopleInPain today. All trust I had remaining for the medical profession is completely shattered. Next stop? (cont)

#AcuteWithdrawal.

I do NOT look forward to it.

Ahh well, I& #39;m not sure I& #39;m surprised. At all. In fact, I& #39;m left with a profound sense of relief mixed with a good amount of anxiety & despair.

I don& #39;t think I want to see another doctor...ever again. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">

Here& #39;s a NEWSFLASH for all the skeptical medical professionals out there on #medtwitter:

I didn& #39;t take heroin. Sorry to disappoint you. The only result of taking my meds away will be that I have tremendous physical pain.

Looks like it& #39;s about to get real! *wry laughter*
