Re: [QUAD-L] Aids stealing your meds

[Amy Davis]

Hi Mark...I am a caregiver myself. If your aid is addicted to pain meds then you need to find someone else. Sounds like she is there to feed her habit. Your needs should come first. There is good help out there. Does she work though a company? If she does then you need to notify them. She should not be working on drugs. She is responsible for your care. If you hired her privately...then you need to have a very frank talk with her.
Talk with family memebers who can put your meds in a safe place..maybe leave only a few out in the bottle and hide the rest. Yes, it is a shame that people have to hide their belongings in their own house but it happens. You need to address this problem soon. Not worth being miserable and in pain in your own home. Good luck.

Hey People,

How many here have an aid that steals your pain medication?

My aid has been stealing my pain meds for several months and I'm helpless to stop it.

I bought a safe but one of my keys was lost or so I thought it was and my aid seems to think my pain isn't as important as her addiction.

I'm so f>&*ing mad because I have a uti and you all know how seriously painful they are and my meds came up missing a week after I filled them again this month.

I'm really upset because this girl has been with me since I moved home 5 years ago and is the best help I've had but I can't take it no more, I'm in agony right now but what upsets me the most is how helpless I feel.

It just pisses me off that a person who supposedly cares for me can take advantage of me being disabled just to get off and not give a shit that I'm in so much freakin pain.

 

I just needed to vent to those who really care because you know how bad it hurts and I'm headin for a break down from feeling helpless.
