Painkillers and doctors who prescribe them have become demonized by the nanny state.

A stash of vicodin is your friend! My doc prescribes it for me. I only get 60 tablets a year and I’m very careful with them. Usually, I cut them in half. I use it for pain that motrin can’t touch. That’s usually only one or two days month or if I get a back injury.

Before I got on thyroid meds I was in terrible pain everyday. I believe it’s much harder on a person’s body to be eating tylenol or motrin like candy trying to get rid of the pain than just taking one pill.

Of course, some people do abuse these meds. From what I’ve read, the amounts they ingest are staggering.

I hate to see people suffer due to the stupidity of a few.

Addiction is terrible, but so is labeling someone a potential addict just because they ask for something that works.

Living everyday in excruciating pain and suffering that indignity adds insult to injury.

Who did that?
