As someone who suffers from chronic pain due to Fibromyalgia, the American attitude to pain treatment is a crying shame.
Presently my doctor will only give me darvocet, which has very little effect on the pain I live with daily. I only take it when the pain reaches unbearable levels and so I been able to make 60 pills meant for 6 months, last for one year. My reward for suffering most of the time, has been an increase of 120 pills.
There are many days that darvocet can't begin to touch the level of pain I'm in and I think of going to the ER. The thought of having to sit and wait for hours in a crowded waiting room, just to be seen though, makes me just grit my teeth and pray the pain will go away soon. Thankfully I am also on Ambien for sleep disorder that comes with FMS so I'm assure some sleep at night.
Studies should that only .01% of people who suffer from chronic pain become addicted to pain killers. For most are like me and will under medicate as we are not taking the drugs to get high, but just be able to function, as another person would take medicine for blood pressure or diabetes.
I would move to a state that has legalize pot for medical purposes, if Jonwin could find a better paying job there.
