I feel as if everytime I go to the doctors for any condition or any pain ...doctors treat me bad and label me as a druggie. I do have a drug past but that was 10 years ago. ...does anyone else feel the same I know there is an opioid epedimic but doctors need to chill out!!!

I wonder why you've used the word 'everyone' in the title. How many people do you know who have been treated in the same way like you?

Maybe she's sensitive to it because she did once have an issue.

@TheHorse So? Is that a reason to generalise?

@LoriAMoore I've just checked. She's deleted mine, too. How very odd.

I feel the same way. But I (try to) remember that they're just following protocol.

That is unfortunate they made you feel that way. I used to have a prescription that was dispensed very strictly. I couldn't get it prescribed by anyone aside from my regular doctor. But they treated me fine.

We don't have that sort of reaction from doctors. Anyways, they do need to chill out and not judge patients at face value.

Good point. They do ask some uncomfortable questions
