Hello everyone, I know this question is redundant... but I need a little help please.

I'm a 42 year year old happily married woman, NO KIDS (YESSSS!) weigh about 215, 5' 4" and I have been going to pain management for about 4 years because I have 2 prolapsed (burst and leaking) lumbar (lower back discs), a 4 inch cyst growing ON my spinal cord in my middle back, which is slowly leading to paralysis, and degenerative disc disease in my neck that makes my hands numb and causes me to drop things a lot. I'm on a lot of heavy narcotics, which I don't feel I need to go into details here about, lol, and also, on the side, I've been toking for 18 years. (I do not smoke cigarettes, never have). I started when I was in my 20's, a young wild adult living the fun life in New Orleans, and I just never stopped.

I really hurt my back about 10 years ago, with my first bulging disc in my lower back. That one turned into two, until eventually, while cave exploring one vacation, those 2 discs ruptured and I was in the most incredible pain I'd ever felt in my life. I started smoking a lot heavier then mainly because I wasn't able to do much else. I cannot see to drive (because I am also legally blind and was determined to be disabled since birth from it), so I receive a disability check. Basically, I sit at home all day, smoke, and get really close to my PC screen to see it. My PC has been my lifesaver over the years.

This past November, they found the cyst growing on my spine and the disease in my neck and things just went from worse to, well, worse... long sob story, eh? So I sat around, put on a LOT of weight, smoking made me so hungry, plus the depression. You know how it is? I started to smoke a LOT, 2.5oz a month. Wake n' bake till bed. Well, in the 4 years I've been going to this same pain management doctor, he had never drug tested me. A friend, who had been going there for 8 years never got drug tested either.

Then, recently, FL came out with a new law, and blam! Drug test! Which of course, I failed, LOL. My doctor, bless his heart, gave me another chance. So I finished up what smoke I had, I wasn't gonna toss it out (!!!) and after being clean for 44 days, I failed his second test. He said he could no longer risk his license for me. I said I understood.

So I went online and ordered me a various assortment of different drug tests; a couple of 10 panel cups to pee into, and some other kind that look like a pregnancy test that only test for THC and a couple of others that test for THC and Cocaine (I don't use coke, but the test was cheap enough, and I wanted an assortment from different companies, to make sure I was getting accurate results).

On day 70 of being clean, and after taking GoldenSeal (recommended with a wink by my primary physician when I told him what was going on) I failed one of the tests I bought. The test that just checks for THC. 70 days? I know I must have a slow metabolism, cause I sit around a lot, and I'm in a lot of pain and cannot exercise, AND I am overweight, but 70 days? My pain management doctor has taken sympathy on me and said he'd give me ONE more chance and my appointment with him is on the 20th, just a little over a week away, on a Monday. That will be day 80. I plan to take another one of my tests the day before, and if I fail it, I will push the appt. back, claiming my upcoming bladder surgery has caused me complications, or something. I don't know what else to do.

Is there anything I can do?? Also, see, I've been having problems with my bladder--problems peeing. I'm so embarrassed to be so honest and open about this, but I'm having a LOT of trouble getting my stream to start. Sometimes I sit there for nearly 20 minutes before any pee comes out. I can be feeling like I'm about to burst, and still, nothing happens. Not even a dribble, it takes a long time!

Over the past 2 months, since I quit smoking, I've been drinking tons of water, trying to flush my system and to help my bladder, plus I've been taking cranberry supplements. This Thursday I'm having surgery on my bladder, as an ultrasound found something growing in there and blood, and my Urologist said he is going to perhaps try to dialate my urethra. He said it could be anything, a kink, a fold of skin, something growing in there, cancer, he won't know until he puts the scope in and looks. Anyhow, that is THIS Thursday and I was honest with him and asked him if perhaps THIS is why my test came out positive for THC, but he said No, most likely not. I hated to have to even ask him, but I was thinking maybe my problem peeing was causing my body to not let the THC out also. He said most likely not.

Any ideas on what I can do to help myself out? I have a few THC tests left and I have not tried the 10 panel cup to pee in yet--- I'm saving that one up, can't wait to see if it picks up on all of the narcotics I take, and the Ambien, the valium, the anti-depressants and perhaps the 'adulterants' such as the Goldenseal. I certainly don't want to get one of those bottles of stuff you drink, because as I understand it, it would also remove the pain meds I take, and my doctor would know right away. I'd be busted for sure.

Any help, thoughts, ideas, greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much for reading my story and for any advice. ~Molly
