I really have no problem personally with the title I think its good for a addict but not someone like me with chronic gout, I can't even stand a sheet or blanket on my leg when my gout flares up.


I consider myself a highly experinced ex con, I have been out of the"Game" for a while.

Recently I got hung up on paper for a simple poss. Undefeined misderminer (spelling all over sorry)
Anyway, as now I'm a bit older I have severe gout in my leg, and foot, also I have had a bi-laterial pulmaniry emboliosm, and a few kidney stones, ( don't do drugs ) but before anyone goes and clicks the button to close the window, please answer this.
My probation officer supplied me with a piece of paper saying

This is exactly what it says

I xxxxxxxxxxxxx the 3rd do hereby verify that I have been notified by my probation officer that I am not to take any prescription and or non prescription drugs/medications while on nprobation. This is because I have a addiction problem taking these types of medication could not only jepordise my health but my sobority also

Not in letter ( I have been clean for over 12 years I take tramadol for my gout in my foot which is leading up to... ) official letter continues

I understand that if pain medication is needed I am to request a non-narcotic pain medication from my doctor. I verify that I have notified my doctor about my drug addiction problem and I am not to be taking narcotic medication. I also understand that I am required to notify my probation officer of any prescription officer any prescription drugs I currenty am on

I understand that failure to abide by these conditions will be a result in a probation violation and possible in jail (put it that way)


1now this idea, of mine have my records sent to another doctor, then get the form signed,
2 just have some shmuck sign my docs name instead
3 legally fight this in which io only have 3 mabe 13 days ( he wants it quick)
4 I do have a very simple soulution but if I am caught,, well I'm behing bars

Now I truly a probabtion officer does not have MD beside his name and therefore cannot practise medicine, and besides tramadol (I don't feel like linking it) is the most NON-ADDICTIVE NARCOTIC Amedication its generic ultram, and before all of this probation stuff I spefically asked for ultram cause I did not want any opiates in my blood cause it would cause hunger for more.

I feel pretty screwed here and wish I could do something

Anyone with advise?

reeses420 I believe that its your right to get more than one opinion when it comes to your medical health. I would,nt take the first opinion right off bat, just because someone says like a probation officer,who are they to be telling you they aren't a doctor.

I'm not trying to be rude my friend at all but medical records really isn't my problem its evadeing the fact that my doctor has to sign this form.

I do not want my doctor to know I am on probation it is america wheree I am at, and as a liberty of mine I want to keep it that way

By the way I'm from the ol 420 age also, back when it started haha

Edit: after reading my response I thought mabe I was to harsh on the way you analyzed what I typed above or I didn't type it correctly enough either or, I believe this is about being american and rights of privacy issues and them being violated, and that mine are now being violated (in my perspective)(I understand there's another perspective just to get it signed) but no I don't want to because I feel that I am free as a american,

Hopefully there is some law here, because I know for a fact medical records cannot be opened by any low time probation officer without my concent or a judgeoverrideing my concent not to open, but mabe I'm ust screwedd cause the probabtion department found a loophole in the law and is exposeing it for there benefit? I'm not sure, I think it's a good thing for addicts and treatment when I go to rx. Drugs.com and pdr sites there's not much they can prescribe that don't have a narcotic in itn and nothing at all will take the pain away like a anti inflamatory because I am on warafin it's a blood thinner, god I'm getting real deep into this site and I don't even know you guys, I can't even take a darvocet, and thosem over the counter pain meds are just a gimmik, look up the true stuff about them, asprin slightly relives pain due to it thins blood, acetmenphine has only a 14% more chance then a placebo in studies to remove pain, what I take has a 65% chance in its studies to remove pain in gout paitents.
There's so much and so little time... I'm screwd I think well it don't show up in urine screen but I like to be honest

I am sure if anyone knows about this it would be excon on how to negate something like this situation. Also, Fr Chuck possibly would know the answer to this one. Just wait, they'll be along shortly.

Off legal - you need to really pay attention to your gout problem and eliminate the foods that trigger it. Gout is a form of arthritis. I have gout in both big toes and if I eat certain foods my toes swell up and hurt. You need to address the causes of your gout vs taking pain meds to cover up the problem.

Hey thanks for the concern, and I'm glad I was understood fully not just some babbly bloke lol gout does hurt bad man

Hello jojo:

Couple things. Your probation officer CAN regulate your drug use. He can ask your doctor NOT to prescribe narcotics, but I don't know why he would do that. All he has to do is tell YOU not to use narcotics and that's that. He's going to drug test you to find out if you're clean. So if you take narcotics, even if they're prescribed, you'll violate your probation.

Next thing is, allipurinol. It stops the gout from even happening - and it's NOT narcotic.

You do realize that by being on probation, you have given up certain rights that you otherwise would have? As someone put it, you are serving your sentence, just not in jail, and thus things that would be a violation of a regular citizen's rights are not a violation of yours.

And I'd follow ex-con's advice, if I were you.

[jojo8181]

Not too much intrigiging ideas here, how to to scam the system, but I got my own way


Please wish me luck

Allipurinol cannot be taken with cumidin, or o would have taken it

I was a probation officer in Maryland for quite awhile and it was a standard policy that a probation officer does not have the authority to decide what drugs a doctor can prescribe to a person on probation. Liability issues can arise if a probation officer tries to tell someone that they can't take a medication that a doctor has prescribed for them.

We had a chart listing all sorts of medications and how they would affect drug testing. If a probation officer tries to come between you and your doctor, ask to speak to a supervisor. If that doesn't work, write a letter to the judge. Probation is never supposed to override the medical treatment that a doctor prescribes.
