Re: Does Anyone NOT take RX!??? Debra just want to say

March 8, 2008

Debra I am so with you on this one, as we know to well the trouble that can

arise with RX's, and I use to be afraid, of these type of drugs.I now, know,

there is a difference between addiction, and being dependent, I am the later,

without this med, I could not begin to move around anymore, I neither get

buzzed, and after all these yrs living in pain, without anything, would much

rather be hooked up IV dripped if came to it, then stand one more min. of the

pain I have been tortured with in the past and just shrugged off. I can no long

do it, it has affected my whole well being, when in this much pain, and if a

pill will help with SOME relief, after trying every other possible suggestion

that failed, I believe in this pill, and so does my Dr. luckily. So my

thoughts, for those of us having to take this to get through a day, so be it, I

have already been through the ??? of others ignorant in my life who don't

understand the disease, or believe in my crippling life,

whether I have resorted to giving up a job I loved, no longer barely driving,

don't go out hardly at all as much as I want to, because I have CHOSEN to become

a drug addicted person now. They do not know how wrong they are and need to

walk a min in our shoes. Hope your having a lighter day, Take Care Sharon

has fortunately never affected me that way. I am not a zombie at all on this

medication. It never once made me sleepy or high. It does, however, give me some

energy and take the pain away for a while. I guess medications just affect

different people in different ways. And the pain got so bad before I went on the

hydrocodone that I would have been willing to be a zombie to kill the pain.

However, as I said, it affects me the opposite and actually helps the fibro fog.

my doctor. I did not like! One

made me a zombie, one made me hyperventalate(sp?). And, they were just

too much $$$$ to keep trying. Fibro Fog is enough to deal with. DO they

really the RX that is, stop the pain. I think I'd rather hurt than be a

Zombie all drugged up! What is your opion?
