Here's the scoop. I receive my health care (oxymoron) from the VA. I take some stout pain meds chronically. Out of the clear blue, they call me up to come piss in a cup. I asked the tech what were they testing for and she replied "drugs"! I was confused, because I take "drugs"! Turns out, they were testing to make sure the "drugs"(!) were actually in me. Since I take them like clockwork I'm not concerned, right? The nurse calls today and informs me that I failed the test because they found "amphetamines" in my piss! WTF? Where'd that come from? Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can verify that I'm not slipping any amphetamines into my daily cocktail - cause I'm not. I take some otc shit, mostly antacid type stuff. I have just added a vegetarian based water pill (for edema), but it has only 4 (listed) benign ingredients.
I truly am baffled by this outcome and have no idea if there will be some penalty they would apply. Whatever, I need to get out in front of this issue and clear myself before they penalize me (if that's what they do).
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill
