New forum categories needed...We should have a new forum category called Fears of Drug and Urinary testing. Just a thought, because when i see half the topics under prescription drugs are about people worrying if they are going to fail a drug/urinary test with a VALID dr. Rx. Makes you wonder who has been naughy and who has been nice...hmmm. -Enigmuh ( categories: General Discussion about Pharmer.org )
 New Forums
Do you have any other suggestions? Personally I get really bored reading all the drug testing posts - and addiction/withdrawal posts. How about adding a forum for Chronic Pain and Pain Management? Many, many posts fit this category, and both are interesting topics. Everyone, if you have any ideas let us know. Thanks. I'm not a pharmacist or a medical doctor. This message is not medical advice nor is it an offer to provide medical advice. All drug identifications should be validated by a licensed MD or pharmacist.  ooh i like that one Kirby,
ooh i like that one Kirby, that one is solid! the chronic pain and pain mngmt. one I just thought of "The Dangers and Side Effects of My Medication". Just because, like myself, i didn't know where to post when i first got on this site and when i got my first Rx i had never heard of opana or avinza etc. another could be "Compare and Contrasting Drugs" lots of people like to ask, is this better than that, and why.  HIV
I had suggested a forum for HIV/AIDS meds, because god know people with HIV for the most part are walking pharmacies :-) and i would also be curious to see other peoples treatment programs and their effects with the drugs
I'm not a doctor, but would LOVE to play one on tv.... Ray So like a Pain Regiment and
So like a Pain Regiment and What ails you, kind of forum slitter? i def like that and the HIV/AIDS post, a lot of people's knowledge and actual wisdom on these subjects gets caught in the trash along the way. you guys get anymore ideas, maybe Team Pharmer will like one of em, keep em coming! Exactly
Since most people with HIV take a plethera of medication, naturally i thought this would be a good place to discuss them, as there are many different medicines and conditions associated with HIV. Speaking for myself, I HAVE TO be informed about the medications i'm taking. I have to be my own advocate when it comes to medical issues...no one else is gonna do it for ya, and my doc loves me for it. Be an informed consumer, no matter what the product is, be it a new car, or a new med....know what you're getting into...Please, if any other HIV + users on here contact me if you would like to talk or have questions. Again, i'm not a doctor, just a very very experienced patient...Best wishes
I'm not a doctor, but would LOVE to play one on tv.... Ray  I agree with Kirbyi think
I agree with Kirby i think that if we are to add a different forum the most useful one would be pain management. i get very sick and tired of all the addiction/withdrawal topics. there are several other sites out there that discuss that topic in more detail. i am not necessarily opposed to the idea of adding a forum on HIV/AID's however i do think that it is kind of pointless as it is never really brought up here. Slitter is the first person that i have really seen discuss it in the 2 years that i have been here. it isnt a bad idea, i just dont think that there is a crowd for it. I think that one of the beauties of this site is its simpleness. basically there are three forums (for practical purposes) here. Pill ID forum, Discussion of Meds Forum, and New Medicines Forum. If we get too far off discussing these various topics then it gets hard to navigate the site. In summary, if i had to vote on it, i would say either 1) keep it the same as it already is or 2) if we must add something, let it be the pain management topic. JMHO. all thoughts and opinions expressed are those of my own and should not be mistaken for medical advice. i am not a doctor nor a pharmacist. all medical questions should be answered by a licensed pharmacist, doctor, or primary care manager. All in Favor
it seems we all can agree on Chronic pain and Pain management to be a solid and great topic that would catch a lot of peoples interests and have interesting topics at the same time, i mean we all can relate! Simplicity is nice, i'm just tired of the abusers trying to skate by their urine tests and asking the 'pro's' if they aren't going to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. haha Team Pharmer, let us know your thoughts on this, and short trial runs could test the waters for us. Hope to hear from you all. -Enigmuh  These are all good new
These are all good new forum topic suggestions. But arent they all getting off track of what this website is suppose to be about? Pill Identification and medication discussion. I would have to second everyones response about how it gets lame hearing the same stuff about drug tests, addiction/treatment, and "Suboxone saved my life". The pain management one would be good, if it was something like "Medications used for Pain Management". To Enigmuh the two suggestions you posted "The Dangers and Side Effects of My Medication" and "Compare and Contrasting Drugs" fit perfectly in the forum topic "Discussion of Prescription and OTC Meds" that already exists. Also my opinion about seperate forum topix for specific illnesses such as AIDS/HIV, addiction treatment, etc. would better be suited on a new website specifically for those illnesses. But Im not the owner/operator of this website so its just my opinion. Man, i love this site, they
Man, i love this site, they actually care about what we say and listen, if i had to choose one, i feel Chronic pain would be a good one so people could talk about their situations instead of pills, and if that works, i'm sure the pain management part would fall right into place when speaking on chronic pain. Thanks for listening guys, and hopefully we get more posts on this topic If, however we don't i'll try and re-post like every week and see if new people catch on to this thread. take it easy guys, got a BIG appt with my pain doc, hopefully all my 'situations' will be relieved or discussed fully. Enigmuh and i'll try and get those pics of the OC 30's up asap. This is a good site
This is the best site i have found for identification of medicines and general information on meds and how they affect different people, because as we know, everyone is different. I think the Pain Mgmt/chronic pain forum would be good. The only reason i suggested HIV/AIDS is of course 1) I'm poz and 2) there are so many different HIV drugs out there that make narcotics and other medicines work differently in people with HIV/aids....that's just my 2 cents worth.....lol..actually it was only 1.5 cents, but i'll save some for later......Again Thank you to all who run the site...It is a valuable service for us "polypharmacists"
I'm not a doctor, but would LOVE to play one on tv.... Ray i don't mean to nit-pick,
i don't mean to nit-pick, but we can categorize the HIV/AIDS under the pain management part, and since i don't have i wouldn't know, but if it causes pain it can be considered Chronic pain. dont mean to be such a ninny on this, but i want to have it narrowed down as we go so team pharmer can look, read the consesus and rock n' roll with it  Pill ID should rule
What makes Pharmer unique from most of the other forum sites is the ability to rapidly upload images of tablets. For Pill ID this is the easiest, most accurate forum out there. Kick in the added bonus of Kirby, Phisher, Solo and a couple of other well informed quality posters (where has Gtrplayer gone?) like Flounder and Goat and you have the template for successful identification of unknown tablets. You can get on any site and talk about pain management, it seems there is no end to the number of people with experience in this field. That's great, I just don't think this/related topics is the strength of this site. The strength of this site is pill/tablet identification and that should be the focus. Diluting that with off-topic forums should be kept to a minimum. I really don't mean to offend anybody, but I use this site for it's original intended purpose. The more I have to sift through posts to find actual tablet resources and information the more I feel the focus is getting blurred. 4andsic Thanks 4andsic and good
Thanks 4andsic and good point about diluting the forums with non identification posts. Since we are on the topic of suggestions, I would like to see a seperate Active Forum Topics box just for Pill Identification posts on the home screen. A lot of times people will post pill id questions and they get buried sometimes in a matter of minutes. 4andsic - correct, as usual..
Very good post indeed... i agree 100%! all thoughts and opinions expressed are those of my own and should not be mistaken for medical advice. i am not a doctor nor a pharmacist. all medical questions should be answered by a licensed pharmacist, doctor, or primary care manager. i agree
There does need to be something on the home page for id. I think alot of requests for ID get misplaced...and yes it is a shame that the drug seekers/abusers try to take advantage, that makes it hard on all of us that use controlled substances on the up and up....I do enjoy reading all the posts tho...Ciao
I'm not a doctor, but would LOVE to play one on tv.... Ray We dont need to limit ourselves
We don't need to limit ourselves and only supply pill info, but man I love you guys, you always point out what us newbies ( me ) don't know or see, I had no idea this site was a pill/id site mainly, I came here for advice from all you experienced people. I however don't feel that it has stayed in that area and has grown to accomodate people like me and those seeking advice, as team pharmer said they are open to new ideas, so I think we all should be open to expansion to fit the changing topics, if anything I think we should adapt to allow for more people to get help other than pill I'd help. I haven't found another site that is as good as this and I want to keep it on the front lines of these subjects.Change is not bad, but this would allow for the pill Id questions to get lost less because the topics can get filtered and categorized better. I'm just trying to make this well oiled machine even more efficient. Let me know how you feel guys.you too team pharmer tell us what you think of the posts since you dialed in. haha
told you i wouldn't do this 4andsic, but my bad haha. I completely agree that we should keep this site for its true intended purpose, and in doing so perhaps have the new category revolve around better pill id categorization, i'm sure the new posters dont have a clue that they have choices for topic categories and just post, perhaps there is a way to solidify the Pill id q's in one place, and maybe that has to do with the subject line of the post. perhaps put a disclaimer on 'new posts' that says something to the effect of; if this is a pill identification post than in the subject line type pill id, and the letters/numbers of the pill to get faster results. This way pharmer.com can quickly assess what category it can fall into rather than get lost in the confusion of advice seekers and question askers. -Enigmuh  Hey, this is enigmuh
-Looks like what we asked for has come to fruition, i want to thank all of you with your support for these new forums, we have made a difference, and now we can further help people, you have all done well and again i want to thank TeamPharmer for always listening. Lets keep it up guys and continue to help people, it will be much easier with these new categories! VICTORY! Paradyme change is the only constant, and experience is the greatest teacher  Hey all, what a wonderful
Hey all, what a wonderful idea to have the seperate forums. I originally came onto this site for pill identification and found myself swept into the world of pain management information also (which has been extremely beneficial mind you). Kudos to all of you for diving into this and making it happen.  TeamPharmer /moderators/ owners ????????
About the topic's & forums....... I'm new here, I have found a wonderful site.. full of great info, ideas & insights , support~ resources........... I do believe that maybe, as so many have pointed out,and shot down, that maybe there is a need for forums of the topics of addiction & recovery, pre employment drug screens and or drug testing, and withdraws so many posts are about these subjects, crammed into the discussions of pain meds & OTC meds.... maybe they should have a home of their own now, so as not to bog down the other forums. People do come here in search of support,answers,questions,ideas,thought,knowledge,help.. and so many have all of this to offer and more. I myself have posted on a few of these subjects, and replied to these subjects as well. They get buried or passed over where as so many could have help & info, ideas and support for folks. why not give it a try on a trial basis , see what comes of it. Just a suggestion, opinion, and thought~ which i think might be beneficial in this day & age. Ive found a wonderful site. I've told so many others about this site, I just think these topics would also be so very beneficial forums to add.
