FCE

[freebird]

I was told to take my meds just like I normally do before my FCE. I guess I could have lied when he ask me have you taken your meds as you usually do everyday?

Many individuals work taking prescription narcotics. I am on 5 different meds 3 being narcotics. I can drive; no restrictions. Your body adjust to the meds.

If you have a car accident on prescription drugs, it is not a ticket unless you have a driving restriction on you.

As far as being dangerous to work with prescription narcotics, your employer will never ask what you are on unless a drug test is "popped" on you. When you show your prescriptions, you are fine. If your prescription drugs impair you that bad, you should talk to your Pain Management Doctor. If you are released to work taking prescription drugs, obviously your Doctor does not realize you are impaired.

Life sometimes has to go on and prescription Narcotics are acceptable. If you take such a amount that you are inpaired, you should be rated Permanent and totally disabled.

I use the 25 mchg Fentanyl patch and lortab 10 5x a day as my narcs plus lyrica 150 mg 3x a day, celebrex and ambien at night.

Do what you want but take your meds with you if the PT requires you take your meds before the FCE is done.
