Re: Oh my aching everything...

[Guest guest]

, Take it from someone who has taken as much vicoden as House, if

you have pain you will not get addicted by treating your pain! The only

thing (before the dreaded predesone) that would touch my fibro and

neuropathy pain was vicoden and luckily I have a doctor who believes in

me (and he watched the blood tests yadda yadda yadda) and would

prescribe them for me no problem. When I went back on 10 mg of pred,

the pain went away I stopped taking the pain pills no problem and I had

been on vicoden and oxycotin for 2 straight years at least. Please you

will feel so much better and will have more strength to use for more

important things than worrying about how every movement hurts! Off my

high horse now, hugs
