Be extremely vocal and demand they inspect you for track marks, retest or do a hair follicle test, that evidence with the lack of withdrawal symptoms should be enough for any medical review officer to rethink. Maybe it’s past that point idk but I’d tell CPS or DCFS whatever it’s called the same thing because it’s definitely possible to test positive for poppy seeds

Curious, I was prescribed codeine after giving birth (and of course had en epidural so all the drugs with that)! Did you get painkillers after birth!?

@Marta yes I did get given tylenol,ibuprofen and oxicodone but I haven't taken it due to testing positive for opiates
