And there are those who made these remarks without knowing what all had already been done, but nonetheless, continue to make judgments.

I will reply with PM to this post. Thank you.

This person is totally judgmental , critical, with absolutely no facts or knowledge of the personal situation. Best to ignore his content and not respond. There is a way for me not to see it anymore and I cannot remember how to do that. If you know, please PM me.

You come across as just plain nasty and critical. If this is your idea of being helpful, then please don't help. My post is about getting help for sick, hurting person.

You haven't even heard mine. All I provided was minimal details. Wouldn't that be fun or do you just want to start an issue here? I have an extremely ill person in my household and I don't need criticism. I need help. He wrote a prescription for pain meds which we could not fill as the pharmacy was out of it. I nicely asked for his assistance in locating the medicine. This is a hard scrip to fill and he knows that. We had JUST left his office. He made me wait through an entire other patient's consultation and was going to see another patient while he kept me waiting some more. I stepped in to please ask if he could rewrite it, and he got irritated telling me how busy he was. This was urgent. The worse part was his tone of voice. We will relieve him of one patient and lighten his work load by going to someone who is polite.

Pain patients are committing suicide because they cannot get help. My topic is about getting help with a serious medical condition, not about addition. If you want that discussion, please start your own topic.

I am starting this topic once again. I so wish we had a separate section on this forum for Medical/Dental. We need to change doctors again. This physicians seem to be great for a while, then the whole picture and attitude changes. We have been seeing Garcia at Maskaras for a couple of years now. He has become rude and difficult to deal with. I really can't believe the tone of voice he used with me when I was there last. If anyone wants details, I can share it through PM. The result is we need to move on. I'm tired of being treated badly when we pay someone. We need someone who can write opiates and knows the rules. I realize there are specialists that come weekly or monthly. It would be preferable to have someone who is here all the time and charges a fair rate. The rates go from 250 pesos (Dr. Lastra) to 800 pesos, other doctors. Garcia is at 600 pesos, but you'd better not ask for any additional help if you can't find the medication or you will get chewed out. The problem with Lastra is that he will not provide a prescription as he gets it from someone else and you cannot take it and fill it yourself. You would only get the meds from him at a cost for us, of another 800 pesos.

We met with her. She was not diabetic. She had Fibromyalgia.

Thanks! I just found it. I will call him.

What else can you tell me about Dr. Aceves? Is he no longer a GP? What is his specialty? What does he treat?

I do appreciate everyone's comments and input here. Although the topic was Stem Cell Therapy, in this case, it is good that some have mentioned similar type treatments as it helps me become of aware of other potential options.

Good observation and question.

We have gone many times. It is busy with lots of cars, however, we can get a parking space. There tends to be more spaces on the Soriana side, past the supermarket, in the side streets, then we just walk across. The Tianguis really has a large selection of items and is it is less expensive then the one in Ajijic.

Another option. Do some research on large doses of Niacin for depression. This has proven to be effective. I doubt that a regular doctor trained to use only big pharma products.

Loneliness is not a mental illness. It's loneliness, an absence of human connections.

Before buying hemp remedies, read up on it. Hemp remedies are not the same or as good as cannabis remedies.

The topic is not about opiod abuse. It is about a very ill person who is dying and needs help. I can tell you I know something about that. If you want to express opinions about that topic, start your own thread. This discussion is about helping someone in need. There is a lot of hysteria from government sources who have regulated the hell out of the pain relief. I can tell you for sure that there are people committing suicide because they cannot get pain relief. Lives have been ruined because some bureaucrat has no understanding of the suffering patients tolerate. This is a very serious issue. I hope you never find yourself in that situation. You may someday be dying and in unrelenting pain or know someone who is, and you will rethink what you have written here. Best to contribute to the discussion if you have something to help this person. Otherwise, don't criticize another being who is suffering.

As stated earlier, I provided the name of a doctor than can prescribe those types of medications, and there are several others as well who have the proper licensing to prescribe them. I would prefer not to answer this question on a public forum such as this one, as it is personal. And, as you can see there are people just waiting to pass judgment on a medical situation about which they know nothing.

Dr. Alfredo Rodriguez Quintana at Ajijic Hospital can also prescribe opiates.

Where is a good place to order contact lenses at a reasonable rate?

I would also like to know who that is. It is important that we share this type of information with each other. It is good if we can help each other.
