I remember the movie “Reefer Madness”. This war on opioids has put the same kind of mania into a largely misinformed populace about usefull drugs to control pain. The people who are not suffering from intractible pain from things like back conditions that seven surgeries could not fix along with fibromialgia and widespread arthritis should keep their opions to themselves. That is where my wife is at and watching her deteriorate more every day as her pain doctor is forced to reduce her pain meds to where a government bureaucrat who does not know her thinks it should be. I pray and watch over her constantly to try and make sure she does not commit suicide. I sincerely hope all the know-it-alls never have to be in my shoes or god forbid, her shoes.
Tony- I will add Your Wife and You to My Prayers. I know what it is like to be in constant pain.
nikos1121- BTW I am NOT a Diabetic A1C is 5.4, Glucose is almost always in the “Textbook” range of 80 to 120 unless I just ate a half a box of Sugar Frosted Flakes or something like that.
And yes I now have to go to a damned Legalized Drug Dealer (aka Pain Clinic) to the tune of several hundred dollars every month.
The worst words to hear: “I’m from the government and here to help”
They can’t even balance a checkbook, they damned sure need to stay out of medicine !!!
