This video is spot on. I have suffered from chronic pain for almost 40 years. Doctors have no trouble spotting what the causes are, but are AFRAID of the DEA, so I suffered SO MUCH! I found a clinic which will help me, so I am fortunate, but I don't know how long the DEA will let them. The depression I've suffered due to chronic pain gradually debilitated me until I lost my business and became almost suicidal. How could pain meds be worse? Aren't we innocent until proven guilty?

I have seen the best & worst of the medical system so there is little to nothing you can hope to teach me about it, lolAs fun as this was not discussing with you, I am programming my new cameras so bye.

Talk about panties getting twisted. I don't think I've disputed that people take advantage of the system and over medicate or worse sell their meds. These people make it hard for righteous pain sufferers to get adequate pain medication. But again you are really throwing the baby out with the bath water. You throw out dumb blanket statements that are ignorant. I know your type. Because you cleaned bed pans once, you are an expert. That's what you look like here.

For someone who admits they was accussed of trying to get meds for reasons other than pain, & you are telling me I have no clue on what I am talking about, lolNewsflash Jack, I worked in the healthcare & I have seen doctors & nurses not only double up on pills, but triple them in a state mental hospital so you are the one who has no clue on what you are talkng about.

Most people who take pills are not professionally trained so they do whatever they feel works best, which often includes taking more than precribed dosages, taking pills prescribed for others, and trying to obtain pills from every local doctor & hospital they can, duhMaybe that nurse had you spot on considering the dribble you are spewing out, seems so to me.

NO you do not just start doubling or tripling meds. That's not how a legit pain sufferer works. I've always stayed within the prescribed doses. If a med becomes less affective then the doctor might change meds and come back later. Or the patient may take a med holiday in order to give the tolerance a break. Amateur health workers ex- or not can do real harm with your dumb blanket statements. Newsflash...You don't know what you are talking about. Do some research..

You can mentally block pain out, just like you can filter anything else out that is annoying, but some people like them meds, like you.

Don't knock it until you have tried it.Just because you got your fethers ruffled because a nurse called you an addict does not mean you are always right, as like I said, lots of people go to the E-room or doctors expecting handouts of drugs to get high on or sell.

That's a pretty silly thing to say. And a bit naive. No, alot naive...

Your comments are duly noted. I'd ask you to do some further research on the topics "tolerance vs addiction". They are not necessarily the same. One may be psychological and the other physiological. They are not one and the same. "Abuse" is absent in Tolerance and but not addiction. Check it out. |
