I guess things are generally o.k. - but boy, as far as medication goes - I don't know how meany times I have told them all point black if you have to watch any closer than if I did not use that, don't even offer because I absolutely do not want to feel like any one is looking over my shoulder regardless of how much good it might do, but they seem to want to keep pushing stuff like that.
Minor, once every few moths and do it anywhere you want, even grab samples while still at home - that's fine, but if it's every month, or worst, it has to be monitored - then as far as I am concerned, it's NOT an option, and will be rejected every time, if you want me to take that stuff that bad, then leave3 me alone about it - if you either won't or can't - there there is nothing more to say than no thank you.

I'm not understanding what you're saying, Red. Are you meaning the doctors who try to get you to take your meds?

Not quite sure I get what you are asking but, I'll try to explain with a slightly calmer mind now....

I honestly don't know why, but it always seemed to bother me A LOT if I feel like I am being watched too close at anything (this cost me as early as 8th grade - would not use any power tools in shop class until I was left alone - but as long as I felt the instructors eyes on me, the switch stayed off). Doesn't matter what just I really never have, and still can't stand feeling like I am being watched too closely.
And no taking any like this at the present time - but different doctors do seem to keep pushing me to try some medications that by law they would have to do a monitored drug screen to use like they want to - and that is watching way too close for my comfort. So I keep refusing for that reason. I* don't have any problem with the test - but if you have to literal watch while the sample is obtained - no way in h*!l do I want anything at all to do with it. Even if it's a blood test, do it every month and you better allow me to draw it myself, and just drop it off at a lab, or don't go there either. The way I am with the medications I have now is about as far as I am willing to go as far as being watched - and that is drug tests like 3 times a year, AND the sample used for that I get at home and just drop it off to whatever lab I want. And blood work like 2 times a year.

Just getting annoying - they have all been asked don't go there if I am going to feel as though I am being watched any closer than if you didn't - but they still keep mentioning things I know they can't either due to risk, or the law, or both.

See, that is a huge problem, and has gotten in the way of quite a bit before...And yes that is one of the things I do hope to somehow get over at some point - don't know if that's even possible now..But in any case, it isn't going to happen over night. Then when it's not just one, but about three in the same week...I almost felt like tell them something like keep it up and you will be able to do any thing you want and satisfy us both because I'll be under your direct care in a hospital!

Actually, when you said what you did, it reminded me of the times I have been in the hospital, and they watched me to make sure I actually took the meds they gave me!

See, I'm so touchie about it, even if the didn't actually looked,. just went throught the motions for appearance sake to there boss (but I was sure that person really didn't even care one way or the other, I still would have point black as my response...Bring me the AMA release forms.. And if for some reason that was not an option, absolutely NO med then, and I would make sure it that point literally the only way I would be taking anything would be forcibly through an IV...And if they did that - even under court order - that would be THE last thing that hospital ever did with me period--- And evben after showing me a court order - you will still get physical resistance - more men - fine - I'll fight you harder. I do have some now due to stomic problems, that it's no question - I will vomit I I don't take it - but that would be refused too like that.
