or a compound fracture or herniated or ruptured disc or bad burns or phantom amputee pain etc

I've got a couple of herniated discs and morphine is the only thing that's getting me through the day right now.

I can't wait to get off of it though as it seems to make the inside of my mouth very sensitive and toothpaste burns like crazy!

I’ve had several major surgeries and live with severe chronic discomfort.

I am happy to have opiods when i need them though I prefer regular old lortab or percocet to the time released stuff and only take morphine in the hospital.

Now if I had terminal C, then bring it on baby.

Ultram and darvocet don’t do shite.

"I've got a couple of herniated discs...."

I had a herniated disc in my neck around ten years ago. I had been advised to take a copper supplement for a thyroid condition and to cease bottled water and drink from the tap (copper pipes in the house).

So after I took the copper for about a year, my disc was fine. Maybe it was six months, I forgot.

It seems that dietary copper is a precurser for elastin, which is pretty much what the discs are made of, Or surrounded by, I forgot which.

There's nothing much "out there" about it, but it worked like a champ. Thyroid's better too.
