fed up with friends who dont understand my pain

[Guest guest]

I have extremely painful diabetic neuropathy in my feet. Due to a stroke my left

hand is in extreme nerve pain.

Lyrica and nerontin won't touch the pain. My pain mgmt. doc. has me on Dilaudid,

5 x 4mg. per day. This gives me some relief and makes my day somewhat o.k. Some

docs have told me that narcs dont work for nerve pain. Bull.

I told a close friend of mine I am taking this med and he wants to crucify me

and has called everyone I know to rat me out. He thinks he is justified. I am

ready to scream!

Its not enough I have to live with the pain but am I suppose to bow to peer

pressure to appease the feeble minds? Beware all because Congress thinks as my

friend does and is seeking to cease narcotic pain relief for chronic pain.
