I did the decade of pain killers and they are what gave my functionality in life. I was able to work and be somewhat active. After stopping them for 18 months, I have gained 50 lbs, my mental state is a trainwreck due to the inability to even walk without a cane or assistance, the pain levels are so intense at times, you literally want to go to an ER and never leave. Where is the fine line? The war on pain patients( real ones) makes many of us try everything else under the sun for help while the addicts and abusers hit the pill mills with no problem, not caring the damage they are causing others. I don't know, I just saw your blog and thought I would respond. I am active with pro-pain patient rights groups but honestly, nobody listens or cares. If we had cancer, then its considered a real disease. Soon as I finish up with cardiology, which is hopefully coming to a conclusion Sept 4th, I will make an appt and chat with you some about options. I really appreciated your taking the time to listen before. It is not a pleasant life to live like this and I know many others are worse off probably just as afraid to speak up. Have a great weekend and thanks againAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09784031020581898102noreply@blogger.com
