I agree. It's a terrible life being on pills to get the semblance of the active life I used to live before my back fell apart.
My Dr has prescribed Naloxone to every patient in his office for the purpose of saving life's of od victims. I have 4 epi- pen type devises in my medicine chest.
But I must emphasize. I don't play around with meds. I love my husband and life too much, I don't want to die.
Pain management for back problems can be an awful ordeal, my sympathy.
