i was a heroine addict 7 years ago. i got a bacteria infection that may or may have not been caused from using needles. this infection paralyzed me. after an extended stay in the hospital and a long time of physical therapy i walked again after being told i would not. during the rehab it was discovered that i had uncontrollable muscle spasms in the legs. it was found that pain mangement with narcotic medicine quelled the spasms.
after going through oxycotin, morphine patch percaset...tons of muscle relaxers i requested methadone because i had been through a clinic and i researched the long term effects and felt more comfortable taking it. the doc agreed and it works great.
the physical is done on site but the urine is sent to lab corp.
the medical forms has a question asking what drugs have you taken in the last 60 days. i was going to put down everything i take...including Valium and methadone. they also ask what operations have you had. you are interviewed by a doctor who is going to ask questions on the verge of crossing over into a Grey area of the ADA. i was thinking the doc could put 1 and 1 together..bacteria infection...methadone
i thought of telling interviewing doc that i do take it but have taken it or any other medication in the last 3 to 4 days. then subbing..that way i would avoid the MRO's questions and any delays it might cause.
FBR would you recommend this approach?
where should i draw the line with the interviewing docs questions?
quite simply what would you say? how much can the doc ask?
i suspect that he will ask for my doctors report of my condition. hopefully he will not ask for my hospital records becase this is how it starts off;"a 34 year old heroine addict enterd the emergency room"
FBR am i worried about nothing. yes i have legal prescripts but i have a guilty conscience because of my past?
would you sub to keep questions from mro?
