chronic pain will ruin your life.

But your chronic pain won't ruin robertpaulsen's life.

I wasn't kidding when I said that the most intense pain I've ever experienced was shingles (and this is coming from a guy who had a "torsion of the testicle," which is supposed to be the worst pain a man can ever have!).

While I was able to get over it, there are documented cases of people killing themselves due to the pain from shingles. When you've got pain at those levels, I'm all for giving whatever pain medication, legal or illegal, it takes to help the person cope with the pain.

"Torsion and the Testicles" would be a great name for a band.

You had shingles and got through it without smoking marijuana. But you don't think others could, is that right?

I find it hard to believe, check that, impossible to believe, that marijuana would work better for shingles than any other drug out there. This is the first I've heard of that.
