My doctor’s office has a placard saying this:
Food is the most overused anti-anxiety substance,

My daily exercise routine in Gym is the type of “High” I prefer.
There are many types of agonizing pain that you can’t “run it off”. And the pain and inflammation cause severe, even life threatening problems on their own. At such times, Fentanyl still remains the most potent prescription analgesic that you can legally get.
One of the rarer, highly valued Nurse specialists are the “pain control Nurses”. They go through a lot of intense extra schooling to learn how to properly diagnose and treat pain. They are paid as much or more than top physicians.
Their job requires expertise in Nursing, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, addiction and pain management.
No matter where they are hired, they will be very busy, as there is no shortage of potential patients requesting their services. The vast majority of people cannot get their services.
