PDF Editor FAQ

What drugs, other than opiates, can help with chronic pain if the patient is already opiate tolerant and dependent?

It depends on the type of pain the patient has. I am only familiar with pain from failed back surgeries with no viable surgical options left, pain from severe chronic osteoarthritis/osteoporosis, and pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. That being said, I want to as briefly as I am able discuss the matter of opiate tolerance and dependence first.What would you say if I told you there was a medication available that has been proven to halt opiate tolerance in research trials? What if I told you this medication had very few, if any side effects, when taken at the low dosage needed to affect opiate tolerance? How about if I mention that it will work effectively at low doses and that it is very affordable? You would probably think I am pulling your leg, yanking your proverbial chain, or perhaps just a pathological liar. And I wouldn't blame you, for this would seem like a pipe dream of sorts. Perhaps I am a con-artist with a sick sense of humor? …and I wouldn't blame you if you thought these things either. But I am telling the truth.To top it all off, what if I told you this medication would not only halt opiate tolerance, but has been proven to actually REVERSE IT? The truth is, there IS such a medicine that was approved by the FDA for medical use in the United States in 2003. And a 30 day supply would have cost about $5.50 in 2019.There is one slight problem. The medication I am referring to has not been approved by the FDA to use for opiate tolerance. It is currently being used as such in different parts of the world, including some of Europe, but to use it in the Untied States would be an "off-label" use and frowned upon by insurance companies and probably Medicare.The medication is currently only approved to be used in the United States in treating moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease, something it is fairly effective in treating for about a year, then loses its' efficacy. Subsequent administration of the medication has proven to be ineffective and the medication has not been helpful in modifying the disease.I recently read that it can now cost between two and three BILLION DOLLARS to get a new drug approved by the FDA. Thankfully older ones can run needed clinical trials for a cost of about 20 Million dollars to add another application for their drug, but this is only if the drug is intended to be used for another aspect of the same illness it is already approved for (at least this is my understanding).But if the drug is to be re-purposed for an entirely new area of treatment, I imagine the cost is going to be a lot higher than 20 million dollars, just how much, I haven't looked into. So when all is said and done, with costs being exhorbadant to get a new drug to market, there has to be a whole lot of potential "upside" to spending the massive amounts of money required on the part of the drug manufacturer if they are going to invest in a drug's market potential. Reasonable, rational, common sense would tell most of us that while there needs to be safeguards in place, requiring a drug company to possibly have to spend billions of dollars to get a product to market is simply ludicrous, at least in my opinion.I am getting to the name of the medication, I just wanted to add some perspective and background to the issue.For those of us who rightfully feel ignored and abandoned by our short-sighted, tunnel visioned government, including the fanatical enforcement agencies that are hell-bent on demonizing opiate medications, we have, for all practical purposes, been abandoned. We now find ourselves in situations without any viable choices. Take Tylenol some of the supposedly educated physicians tell us…. At this point I would like to "take Tylenol" and shove it up their arse!We played by the rules, danced to their tune, took our medication exactly as it was prescribed, yet, in an orchestrated "smear campaign" against opiates that is so misguided that only our government could ever manage to perpetrate such an atrocity, they deemed that prescription opiates were at their heart of the problem. And so, primarily because we were the easiest target that would show the most gain, they took aim and fired. The number of the "so-called" facts that supported this myopic theory were cherry-picked so carefully that they managed to leave out parts of equations that did not fit their desired outcome.Chronically ill patients in pain couldn't sneak under the radar like the heroin addict, who has never had it so easy locating heroin to shoot up. The drug cartels have thwarted every attempt by the DEA to put a dent in the amount of illicit drugs being shipped into our country. They have made fools of the agency time and time again. The government and its agencies, losing their "war on drugs" desperately needed a win. And so they targeted prescription opiates. I am not saying there weren't people obtaining these medications illegally, they obviously were, but they were NOT GETTING THEM from those of us living in chronic pain.Of all the opiate deaths that the government has attributed to opiate prescription medications, has anyone ever wondered how many of them were from a drug overdose of prescription medications all by themselves, with no other drug, legal or illegal, in their system? Every data sheet I could find regarding this indicated that this number was well under one percent, 1%! One report concluded that the number was .08%. That's less than a tenth of one percent. Meanwhile the heroin addict is enjoying a reduced cost for their drug of choice, while four to seven million people in this country are suffering, often in excruciating pain, and needlessly…. And all so our government and its' agencies can "appear" to have a "win". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?Statistics were tossed out that would make any reasonable person scratch their head, but the feeding frenzy of the fanatics was running full steam by the time Opioimania hit the main stream. "Little things" were conveniently "left out" when reporting about opiates ::::sarcasm dripping from that statement:::::. Prescription opiate medications were found to be the cause of death in drug overdoses because they were found in the deceased system….while somehow, inexplicably, the methamphetamines and heroin laced with fentanyl also in the deceased system were not indicated as probably cause. Where are these prescription opiates coming from then? It is logical to presume that if there are the gazillions of opiate medications being distributed in the black market, that somewhere in the supply chain there has been, and probably still is, a major slight of hand happening. Who, what, how, why it is happening, I have no idea, all I know is that the percentage coming from people in horrible is very very low.dOne thing I know for sure. Where ever they are coming from, they are NOT MY OPIATES! You couldn't take them from me back before this debacle took place. That is NOT ADDICTION. That is a patient depending on a medication to help provide a life with some pain relief. The opiates gave me a decent, acceptable amount of relief from the pain was in and without them, life was agony. I still lived in pain every day of my life, but it was MANAGEABLE PAIN. So, give them away or sell them? Are you serious? Hell no!! These miracle medication allowed me to live as close to a normal life as was possible. I could still run a corporation effectively, make sales calls and deliver equipment when necessary. I could sit long enough to play music on the weekends and enjoy it. I could partake in outdoor activities with my family, go camping, even water ski for a reasonable length of time. I was able to visit my father once a month, 325 miles away.I depend(ed) on my pain medication to provide enough relief from blinding pain that I could maintain a quasi-normal life. Has everyone forgotten what addiction really is? I KNOW first hand what frigging addiction is: I am a recovering alcoholic with nearly 36 YEARS of unbroken sobriety. Alcohol is my drug of choice, but at 31 years of age, it almost killed me. Addiction is what an alcoholic has when actively drinking.. They begin drinking and have no idea when they will stop, nor do they have any idea when they start drinking, how much alcohol they will drink. They keep drinking and drinking until they are so I drunk they have no idea where they are, how they got there, and why they even went there in the first place. They simply have no control over the drug, alcohol, because it rules their every waking thought. They wake up in the morning wondering where their car keys are, and shortly thereafter, realize they have NO IDEA where their car is. Did they park it someplace, was it stolen, did they have a wreck and total it? That morning, they have a deafening hangover, their stomach churns with acid, their head pounds while their eyes feel like they are going to pop out of their head! They feel like death eating a cracker…. but two hours later, they are having their first drink of the day, and the cycle repeats itself. THAT, is addiction. People that take their medication exactly how it is prescribed ARE NOT ADDICTS. Addiction involves loss of control and unpredictability. I am not sure how this concept got twisted around, but it certainly seems to have happened. Just because someone is legitimately prescribed opiate pain medication does not immediately make them an addict. An addict would get their monthly prescriptions filled and within a few days, have taken all of it. They would spend the rest of the month trying to find enough money, to steal it if they have to, to buy illegal drugs from a dealer, who has no problem supplying them because they are flowing into the country like Niagara Falls. The word addiction is used all the time now when there is discussion about opioid medication. I wait for someone in power, somewhere in this country, to "wake the F*** up" and scream, "hold on people, we have this all wrong!!" I am still waiting. Addiction my ass!I am sure there were patients eight years or so ago that were able to con their doctor into believing they were in pain all the time and needed the stronger pain medications, but the VAST MAJORITY of those of us who need these medications for chronic, unrelenting, intractable, pain, aren't bamboozling anyone. We have real, excruciating pain, that is unbearable most of the time. Even before the pharmacists that knew me well began sneering at me each month when I picked up my prescribed pain medication, disdain in every word when they give their required overview of the medication. I was/am extremely careful with all of my medications. I didn't change anything I was doing, public perception was changed, and because I took opiate pain medications, people could look down on me, at times "put me down", try to lecture me…. Trying to defend myself became futile… and depressing beyond measure…. Many patients in chronic pain have had their daily dosage slashed to the point the medications are almost totally ineffectual.The government has allowed this to be done in their fanatical fervor to reduce "deaths from opiates". And they have done it using contrived and misleading statistics that ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS ON OPIATE BASED MEDICATIONS. Chronic pain patients, as a whole, take their medication as prescribed, and do not misuse it, abuse it, give it away or sell it. Why would they? Of course there is always a tiny percentage of people who will abuse the privilege of being prescribed such medications, but isn't that the case with all things "restricted"? It is obscene to single out those of us that depend on these medications to achieve something resembling a normal life, or in many cases, "try" and get as close to one as possible within acceptable reason. But for justifications that are short-sided, ultimately cruel and torturous, we ARE singled out and for reasons that do not even start to come close to justifying the supposed "means".Looking at what has happened, I find our government's actions far beyond pathetic, absolutely unjustified, and according to our Supreme Courts' statutes, in many cases, criminal, especially when it pertains to the disabled, the aged, and those people on Medicare. As a group, we have been singled out to serve a purpose that statistically (using actual statistics) just is not true. Scarily, frighteningly, those of us in true chronic pain are being unjustly punished for this fiasco, and it seems clear to me, that our representatives and their associated agencies are deeming us "an acceptable amount of civilian casualties" in their "war on drugs". There are FOUR TO SEVEN MILLION PEOPLE paying for the "win" the government so badly needed to appear efficacious in the eyes of the public…. Our pain and agony, our lives that their actions have carelessly and thoughtlessly devastated, apparently are of no consequence to them. At this point, it appears that four to seven million Americans are an "acceptable amount of civilian casualties".Little to nothing is mentioned in the media about the growing number of suicides being committed by those of us in such indescribable pain that they simply can not take it anymore. These poor souls get to a point that death seems like a better alternative than to live in the pain they now endure with little to no relief. They know that tomorrow, the next day, and next week, and the months ahead are going to see their unrelenting pain get even worse… with the thought of this unbearable, that they choose death. In my mind, as one of the "forgotten", I view this as nothing less than "murder" on the part of our government, sworn to serve and protect us. They have condemned us to a slow, agonizing death. Shame on them…. Shame on them all…In a move that is breathtakingly ignorant, the government and its' agencies associated with enforcing laws as they pertains to drugs, are enforcing a CAP on daily dosages of opiate based medications, something the FDA had never done in all the years it has been in charge of opiate based prescription medications. If opiates are the demonic scourge of mankind, why hasn't the FDA already put something into effect? The FDA has had a suggested CAP on other medications like Tylenol, Adderall, Wellbutrin, Ibuprofen, and well, just about every other medication. So why did they not put a CAP on opiate pain medications?There was no CAP put on opiate medications because of the known tolerance issues for sure, but partly because moderate to severe pain is highly subjective and the FDA has always trusted the highly trained medical community to be in charge of what dosages should be used in each individual instance. The FDA did not suggest the new CAP that somehow became the new mandate, the CDC did, a government agency that no jurisdiction over any medication whatsoever.Some pain specialists have had the courage to speak out publicly. They are openly declaring that the governments' intervention, regulation, and restriction of opiate medications is the greatest medical tragedy in our history. If you are suffering from chronic intractable pain that once was effectively treated with opiate medications, I am sure your opinion debacle is similar.I think there is another fact that the government hopes no one will find if they look into this fiasco logically, something I alluded to a bit earlier. Decades ago, the Supreme Court of the United States of America specifically prohibited ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY whatsoever to be involved with any aspect of medicine when it came to Medicare, the disabled, and the aged. There is a specific statue drafted and enacted that made it illegal for anyone in any part of the Federal Government to interfere with the practice of medicine in any way, shape, or form. It is explicit and non-debatable. I am not sure how and where the Statute may cross apply to other members of our population, but at 67 1/2 years of age, I am having my rights violated to the extreme in my opinion. Not only my rights, but the rights of the doctors that treat me, the surgeons who have performed recent surgeries on me, the hospitals, and any other institution involved with my medical care. It is pathetic on a level ISorry about that, I tend to get side-tracked when discussing this topic. So, I'll get back to the medication that researchers have proven to be extremely effective against opiate tolerance. I thought it was profound when I finally discovered the medication along with the associated research supporting what i am writing. If those of us who have been on long-term opiate therapy had a medication we could use that would stop and potentially reverse our tolerance to pain medications, I believe many of us could have, and would have, reduced our daily dosage long ago, taking it down to the level when it first started working. This would save a lot of money for us each of us. But then, that is irrelevant to the big drug companies who would try and block the approval of this medication if at all possible, Why would they support something that would reduce the need for as much of their medicine, no matter how positively it affected a chronic pain sufferer's life? It would cut into their profits substantially.Nearly all of us started on fairly low daily dosages of opiate medications only to find them less effective over a short period of time due to tolerance, a well-known, well-documented issue with long term opiate usage. Our doctors were well aware of this and slowly increased our daily dosage in order to keep the medicine at a level necessary to provide the pain relief we needed. There was a point in time where it was decided, with open and honest communication between ourselves and the physician treating us, that the dosage we finally arrived at and stopped increasing was the best we would be able to do using opiate pain medications for our chronic pain. It was far from ideal, but there are simply no viable alternatives to the quandary.The medication I have been alluding to is marketed as Namenda, Azura, Ebixa, as well as other brand names. The actual drug is called Memantine, or Memantine HCL. As it is only approved for moderate to severe Alzheimer's Disease, a chronic pain patient's doctor would need to prescribe it for off-label use. I have known about Memantine for about five years but have been unable to have the pain specialists I see express any interest in looking into the possibilities this medication has for reducing tolerance. Perhaps they are afraid of the DEA's intervention; they might send in a fully armedtactical squad dressed in full body armor. Regardless, if there was even a remote possibility this might work for their patient who is now suffering from drastically increased daily pain do the government mandated slash of a patient's allowable daily ration of opiate pain medication… one would think they would be open to giving it a try.I recently read that the government has decided to "throw" TWO BILLION DOLLARS at the current SARS-COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. If they insist on keeping their unfounded CAP on daily opiate dosages in place, would it be too much to ask that our government, sworn to serve and protect us, provide some us a small measure of relief from the torture they have knowingly induced with their CAP?? They could provide could provide the badly needed assistance with our drastically increased pain levels by funding the required studies that will undoubtedly prove to everyone's satisfaction that Memantine IS effective against opiate tolerance. Once proven, this would allow Menantine to be approved by the FDA for opiate tolerance. In my opinion, it is the very least they could do at this juncture.Opiate medications have been the "Gold Standard" for years when it comes to treating intractable chronic paIn. As such, I spent a lot of time researching various supplements that were shown to help with opiate tolerance in some individuals, working as an adjunct to opiate medications although efficacy varied greatly amongst those using them.. There are different suggestions one can find by searching the internet creatively. Some supplements and vitamins work well with tolerance in some people but not so much or others. I found the only way to figure out what seemed to help me was to go through the suggestions I found and take them on a "trial and error basis", making note of the changes I noticed over a period of time. None of the supplements I mention below worked miracles overnight. They had to be taken for several weeks to a month for me to realize any tangible results and at best, seemed to slow tolerance down to a place I noticed a difference.These are the supplements that I found that had a noticeable effect on opiate tolerance:L-Tyrosine - An amino acidDLPA - D & L forms of phenylalanineMagnesium - I used chelated magnesium which is more bio-available form of magnesium.Vitamin B6 -Vitamin B12 -Dextromethorphan - a cough suppressant that has been shown to slow or halt opiate tolerance.I will add to this list as I recall some of the other supplements not listed. I have some notes "someplace" that I will dig up and use to assist my memory. I hope some of this helps.Peace, Doug

What comes after opening statements in the courtroom? Please be thorough.

After opening statements, the plaintiff, which has the ultimate burden of proof, will call the initial witness. Depending on the case and matter being tried, I have on occasion called the principal witness for the other side. I once had the ability to prove that the opponent had lied to his lawyer and more importantly, to the court in a sworn declaration. I had arranged for a friend, who was with the local US Attorney’s office, to come and sit in for a while. He understood the threat. I kept walking up to his perjury, but then turning away to a different topic. He held out for two hours, but finally it was too much. After swearing he would never settle, he did and was to pay my client everything we asked for - the financial obligation, interest, costs and, of course, my fees.The client’s principal lawyers handled the settlement negotiations. My client owed me several thousand dollars for my work since his last billing and said he would write a check for all the fees, plus a bonus for pulling the iron out of the fire for him. Then rather suddenly, he disappeared, along with the money from the judgment. Initially I thought he’d taken the money and left, but some years later, his remains were found encased in concrete in the foundation of a strip center like the ones he’d been building. No money, though.The opposing counsel, a recognized master in my field, called me a “cold-hearted bitch” which some of my clients thought was funny (I was and am a small, lightly built woman) and a few sent checks made out to “CHB Williams”. While he didn’t pay my fees, the case had attracted a lot of attention and put my feet firmly on the road to becoming a litigator in business cases, so indirectly, the man changed my practice focus to something I loved. I got a lot of new clients from the publicity the case had attracted but I never had the chance to thank him since it appeared he already was deceased.As far as being “thorough”, I charge $4100 per article so please feel free to contact me if you are interested in having a thorough paper written for you.

How do I claim money in an old savings account that my dad had in both of our names, but he’s deceased now?

Was the Account in joint and several names, i.e. you are both named on the account/pass-book, and either party could sign for the monies held on the account?Have you only just found this book as a result of ckearing the house following late father’s departured or doing the legal returns required for Probate?Were you ever aware of the account in the first place, and what date was the last transaction (withdrawal or deposit)?Are you named as beneficiaries i,e, the money was held in Trusteeship by your later father and you father as Trustee for both of you, joinlty and severally, they you should be entitled to the money by providing an original of the Death Certificate and copy of the Will and the passbook/statement of balance to the Executor of the WIll. That may have to go back to Probate to be “proved” and again that may require a Court Hearing, in the Family Divisions of the County Court.How long has it been between your father’s death and discovering this passbook/statement of account statement showing a credit balance ? If it has been more than 6 years, then as above, it will have to be “proved” to the Court of you entitlement and an Order made by the Court for the Bank/Excutor of the Will were the money is held in trusteeship (Again note the Trustees Act 1927) . That will be a completely new case (see 6. below).Did you father leave a WIll and was the account mentioned in the Will. If it has already been cleared by probate and the funds distributed in accordance with the Will, then you are going to have to apply to Court to have the matter re-open the case through the Executor of the Wil, on the grounds of new evidence actually due to the Estate.Contact the Bank/Building Society/ savings society and notify them of the death with a copy of the Death Certificate; usually there is more than one given to you in hard copy and signed by the Doctor confirming the death and its cause. In theory you should provide one of the originals to the bank/savings operation where the account was held. If you only have one original left, colour photo-copy it, and along with the original got to a Court or Solicitor to have a person autorised (in the case of a Court, a senior clerk or if the amount very significant it would be best to have it certified by Registrar o Judge). In the case of a Solicitor, you will need to have it certified as a “true and accurate copy of the original document. (see 8. below)In the case of the Solicitor, if they are not able to take an oath or a person not authorised by the Commissioner of Oaths, you will need to find a Solicitor which is authorised to do so under a general license.If the amounts in 6 & 7 above are signifcant it will HAVE to be sworn before a Commission of Oaths registered by the Court for a Solicitor in that Practice to take oaths of authenticity or Court Documentation, including Affidavit, and the copy of th Will “Exhibited” to the Affidavit.From the copy of the Will, it should provide details of the Executor Authorosed to carry out the terms of the Will. That could be another member of the family, (even a friend, but not often), or a nominated group (practise) of Solicitors.You need to contact the Solicitors who executed the Will and ask them for the Statement of liabilites and assets as lodged with the Court of Probate and authorisng the disrtibution of funds. That should carry the names of all Creditors to the Estate (those who were owed money, including beneficiaries), which of course may include you. You will also need from those solicitors a copy of the distributions that they made from the Statement of Affairs (Liabilities and Assets statement).In effect the discovery of the document will have to be confirmed by the bank/financial body who held the account, and the matter then paid in to the Executing Solicitor or the Executor of the Will named in that document.Once proven that the money does exist but never claimed, then you will have to re-open the case through either the Solicitor or other Executor. They in turn will have to request and “Ex-parte” hearing through Judge to authorise the Probate to be re-opened and the Statement of Affairs ammended with the new details.Once the matters have been confirmed and authorised by the Court the Executor then an Order will be made by the Court to the Bank/Financial Organisation to either pay the money in to Court or to the Executor of the Will. If it is a grouip of Solicitors that would make life easier as the Firm of Solicitors would just have the money paid in to the Client Account, and upon certification of the documents, supported by the Affidavitt and a new Order made by the Judge hearing the case, to distribute those additional funds to the beneficiaries named in the Will.Upon the Judgement being sealed by the Court and served (handed to) the Solicitors or named Executor of the Will, they will be required to distribute the money from the Client Account (in the case of Solicitors) or the account used as a suspence account by the Executor of the Will if they were not a solcitor.Upon receipt of the money paid through Court, in to the account, then the additional money then distributed in accordance of the Will as if it had been part of the Estate in the first place. If the Solicitors/Executors of the WIll are not available or indeed dead or ceased trading, then the Court will appoint a Solictor deal with the matter.In the UK where additional funds are discovered and the beneficia(ries) of the Will have moved away, then there has to be a published notice under s.27 of the Trustees Act 1927 in one local paper and one National newspaper for persons with an interest in the Estate to come forward with evidence of the claim to the Estate, in writing. Usually that evidence will have to be exhibited to an Affidavit of authenticity to the claim.If no further person come forward and the original beneficiaries are at the same addresses when the original distribution of the Estate have not moved and responded to the request by the Executor to come forward and having “proved” their claim, they will received the monies and the matter closed.There is an issue where the beneficiaries are no longer alive (often the case where the money was to be shared equally by brother and sister (or other sibling) have died then the other survivng sibling(s) will receive the payment in whole.If there is no family left i,e, they were the only members of the family and now all dead, and no other member of the extended family has come forward to make a claim to the Estate, then regrettably the whole of the additional sums discovered will go to the Crown.If the account was dormant for more than ten years and attempts to find the beneficiary of the account have failed then again it would be paid to the Crown.In your case if you can both prove you validity and you are the people named in the will, then the money will be distributed equally to you both.If the amount is significant it is workth getting advice or instructing a Solcitor specialising in Family Law, since although their fees will not be cheap, if there is a substantial amount of money involved it will at least mean you get most of the inheritance back. More to the point you know it has been done prorperly and in accordance with modern laws and protocol.I know this is long winded but Family Law is VERY complex particularly when it comes to distribution of the Estate of a deceased person and money is discovered later when it appears the case is closed.it is a tricky one and again depends how long the account has been dormant and the daye that the persons named on the account died. In your case it sound failry straight forwar as you were beneificiaries of the Trusteeship and the money together with accrued interest should be split between you ove the clearenced have been made. In that case it may not involve the Court or Solicitors as the Trusteeship has already been completed on his death and probate or not, automatically the money would passt to out joint and severeally.Best of luck and if you are not confident to deal with the matter in the first plae, particularly if it is going to be contested, in the long run it will be cheaper to use a solicitor.RegardsChris R- London** Please note that I am Writing from London England (and note aslo that Scotland and Northern Ireland do have some different clauses in their laws. So if you are writing from USA or other Country, you will definately need to take advice. But what I outline above, is pretty universal.CWR.
