Re: Quality of life/Quantity of life

[Guest guest]

I simply told me doctor that if I have a choice between quality of life and

quantity of life, that I'd choose quality of life any day. Since I'll be 60

next year, he didn't have a problem with that - although so far, I haven't had

any serious negative effects from my meds.

a, I know exactly what you're saying, but I DO give a rat's ass

whether you become addicted, LOL.

That's what mystifies me about this whole thing: If you are in pain 24/7 due

to a chronic condition, why don't doc tors worry about that pain that has about

a 100% probability of being a significant problem if left untreated or

undertreated? Instead,

they are very concerned about the small chance that you will become

addicted to a medication that has a very good chance of relieving your pain

and greatly improving your quality of life.
