Ok, fellow troubled nurses who are in "RecoveryTrek" -- I have been on a prescription pain med for many yrs, after major surgey, & have NEVER taken more in a day than I was supposed to! They say we have to totally abstain from ALL pain meds. My MD is very upset, because we finally got my pain under control after tweaking it for quite a while. He doesn't want me to go below 3 tabs a day (was taking 6) . Does the recovery program go by what the MD says, or how does that work? I am not in the program for this particular med, but another one, which I didn't have a script for. New to this & scared to death!

Hope everything has been going OK so far! I have been testing for 10 work-days - selected twice for Opt. 6, which was $78 both times at a Quest facility . Killing my pocketbook! Does anybody know what the different options mean? I'm glad to have found this site too. I really haven't thought of the different foods...I sure do need to look at the list, which I haven't done yet! & I'm not sure if they call you immediately if you test + for anything... like you, I need more info! Good luck to you!!
