My question has to do with you, not Rush. The pain caused by cluster headaches is immeasureable. I know, and breaking away from betamethasone was tough.
In other words, I can understand why Rush got hooked after a botched surgery.

Sounds to me like you are going out of your way to make up excuses for Rush. He chose to path he took. The big question is why he didn't find himself the best pain management specialist available rather than resort to illegally buying narcotics on the street -- assuming all this is pain related and not just a cover for him being a full fledged narcotic junkie which is a definite possibility.

I do too. He was addicted by his doctor. Rush is no druggie, he is a man in serious pain trying to alleviate it. That such should be turned into a crime in this country is abominable. That the scum in the DEA or whatever organization is doing this which have allowed this country to be filled with hard drugs should go after him is deplorable. That GWB has not fired the lot of them is to me a strong mark against him.
Cluster headaches are treated briefly with steriods and for longer periods of time with anti-convulsants; Tegretol, in particular. Anti-convulsants are not addictive. Cluster headaches are believed to have a causal relationship with heavy smoking and/or allergies and are referred to as "suicide headaches."*
