I did and got ousted. All of a sudden the writing I had been doing for months was no longer any good, and that is the 'reason' they gave for ousting me. My co-workers were great, it was just the bosses.
446829 tn?1212425523 Let's put it this way, Everything is related. If you have a bulging disc, then you have a pinched nerve. If the nerve is pinched it sends a message to the muscle to tighten up. Therefore you end up with a tension headache. If you are uptight, your muscles tighten and cause it. If you have a pinched nerve, same thing. It is a shame you have had to suffer so much. Work place injuries are the worst. They can victimize you over and over.
Avatar n tn For example, heroin and cocaine can only be detected for a few hours after use, but their metabolites can be detected for several days in urine. In this type of situation, we will report the (longer) detection times of the metabolites. NOTE 1: Oral fluid or saliva testing results for the most part mimic that of blood. The only exceptions are THC and benzodiazepines. Oral fluid will likely detect THC from ingestion up to a maximum period of 6–12 hours.
10452875 tn?1436484351 I also work in retail & the standard is killer in the back. Stocking anything heavy may make it worse. If the merchandise is light & ca fit on a cart that is higher so you dont have to bend, then the moving around may actually help your back. But if not, I would ask your DR for a note & give it to the manager above yours. Explain that you have already spoke with him about it.
Avatar f tn You also do not want to lose your job and you must worry about your flat and your child. So whenevr you see this allow yourself to let go of the times you hesitated in doing anything. You were smart in asking for help. I also want you then to let go of the times you almost gave in or entertaoned doing it and had to tell convince yourself that you may not be an unreliable provider for your child. How does the boss feel about you and/or treat you? How long have you worked for him?
454371 tn?1221297385 10% will have to be on it the rest of there lives. They never mention the hell to come off of methadone. For my self 5 months like to killed me. I could not even think of being on it 2 years. I taped this show, or whatever it was. So if there is anything I am missing or you want to know. I can alway watch it again. They were taking about people using oxy, heroin, morphin, and rx pills. They did say that street herion did less long term damage, than snorting oxy or any other rx pill.
Avatar f tn Can a person have elevated ammonia in bloodstream from an environmental exposure? And what would the symptoms be?
Avatar f tn contact your doctor and do NOT drive I found this website called HARMD a while ago, the information in this website and the statistics about methadone are scary, and this does cover methadone maintenance and NUMEROUS people that died by taking one illicit 5 or 10 mg dose of methadone, JUST ONE PILL CAN KILL !! and the facts are staggering... if you are interested in any of my research about methadone...just let me know.
Avatar f tn When I told them that I have a scrip for the methedone and that I was tapering down..BOOM all the excuses in the world for me not getting the job..Right after I did a week of there classes..So I think we do get judged..But it could be a safety thing for your case..Heck let me know...
767538 tn?1276575320 Hi NoMore Meth, I am glad that you have succeeded in the withdrawal process. I hear that Methadone is one of the worst long acting opiates to w/d from. Good for you. But now are you left with severe pain? Or is your current pain medication relieving it significantly. I guess that is the real question. You say you are only taking it at night. Are your days fairly comfortable? If they are than I would stay away from time release opiates.
Avatar m tn I have been in the clinic on methadone for a little over 90 days now and i am on 110mg a day . Since starting i have noticed that i wake up with dry mouth and when i eat everything has no taste and i have the same taste or feeling in my mouth no matter what i eat. I asked the nurses and they tell me they have never heard of that and its not the methadone. Am i imagining this or has anyone else had this issue?

1264367 tn?1408104163 I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
Avatar n tn almost off, I can feel me again, I can cry, laugh, feel things coming back that I havent felt in so long because the methadone was taking me, the woman I am, little by little every day, so Im not gonna let this drug take anymore of me, Im winning, not the methadone! & Also living your life around a methadone clinic grows real old after a while, you begin to lose sight of why your even their.
Avatar m tn Where are the subs coming from if they are not coming from a doctor find a sub doctor he can tell you exsatly what to do .
