Well it seems the state of Utah has a percocet shortage. I am stuck in St George waiting for my mom to have surgery on her hip and pelvis and taking care of my dad in the meantime and my percocet has run dry. I am trying to get a prescription sent up here by my doctor, but every pharmacy in the area is completely out and reportedly has been for some time. No idea when they might get more. I might have to drive to Vegas to get the prescription filled. Of course this happened because I tried to get the prescription filled 5 days early to avoid this exact scenario, and of course was shot down as the horrifying drug addict I apparently am.
They worry about people using street drugs, which is where 99% of all fentanyl that kills people is acquired, but they won't work with us to get us the medication we need legally, so then for some people what options do they have? I have kratom to turn to at least, and I wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to go to get anything like percocet on the street, let alone fentanyl anyway, which I absolutely do not want.
So now I am stuck, sleeping away from my bed, in one that does not work for my neck issues, so the pain is growing, and I cannot get anything for relief. Then I tried to get hydrocodone, which some pharmacies have, which isn't as effective for me, but of course I am a dirty drug addict just drug shopping so that isn't allowed without a "transition period" which apparently is supposed to weed out us drug seekers since it is well known that if you deny a drug addict his drugs he will just stop doing them, and not go anywhere else to get them.
Our government is so ****ing bass ackward about all this, and they have no ****ing clue how to deal with these issues besides politicizing the everloving **** out of it until any policies they have don't do anything to address problems real people have, but sure do stick it to the dems or the repubs so they can pwn each other. Because of course the legislators have no problem getting their drugs, as theirs are provided by lobbyists for free anyway.
Time to completely wipe out the oligarchy and start new. Send them all to hell and let someone else step into the role.
