Question about Qualifing for my Ommp

[growin4us]

I have chronic migrain headaches and over 10 years of medical records to prove it. 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a Pituiatry Brain Tumor. The last four years I have been a guine pig to every doctor I have met. I have tried over 15+ medications and have finally had enough. Two months ago I received another MRI that showed the tumor had shrunk in diamater. I still have the migrains, and am now taking Narcotic pain medications in order to function daily. (I take 4....5-325mgs of Percocet Daily) I faxed all my paperwork and medical records to a clinic in Portland that will hopefully help me get my medical card. I DO NOT want to take the pain medication ANY LONGER and will switch treatments once I am legal, but here are my concerns......

*Will I still qualify even though there was progress in my last MRI scan, but no decrease in Migrains?

*Will I still qualify even thought I take Narcotic Pain medication?

I sent my information in on Friday and still have not heard anything so if I dont qualify will they let me know or will I still see the doctor and pay the fees to be declined?

Thanks for all the help! Sorry for all the questions!

You should qualify as you still have documented pain. I'm sure the clinic will get back to you, they always do. )

Once you are OMMP, check out www.omcu.net they have local resources for you.
