Controlled drugs away from home

[MtManLee]

My meds do include half a dozen other meds, like a muscle relaxant, and one for high cholesterol as well as the motrin and tylenol and all are mailed to my po box which is turn forwards them to me where ever I may be. And my wife she just calls her pharmacy and they box up her meds once a month and mail them to her as well. And she has several that are a controled med. So I cannot see why they cannot be shipped or mailed to you where ever you are.

Problem One. I'm not a vet because the military (understandably) doesn't accept people with curved spines (scoliosis).

Problem Two. For the particular medication I take, I have to be "examined"� by the physician every month before they'll write the script. Thus, no one else can pick up the script for me. I've tried to find a doctor that would cut me some slack on this Federal requirement but so far, I haven't found one. Physicians don't like to take chances because they can lose their license if they don't follow the rules regarding controlled substances.

I've been dealing with this foolishness for close to twenty years and I haven't found a way around it yet. Even still, I'm very grateful for your comments.
