Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I don’t feel guilty asking for them. I need them. I do worry that one day they might decide to cut me off with all the publicity pain pills are getting on the news lately. They are pressuring Dr’s to stop giving out pain meds. I don’t like to tell people I take them though because I feel people are judgmental. I don’t look as sick as I feel in the first place and some folks equate my pain with common pain normal people have. I don’t like to tell that I have to take antidepressants either. Some of my friends know but I make it clear that I use pain pills sparingly and am concerned about drug abuse and the small amount I limit myself to is non-addictive. You know about how some people brag that they hardly ever take an aspirin because drugs aren’t good for you. To that! Good for them! The medicine is there for us Meg so take what you need and take it guilt free.

Does anyone else feel weird/guilty for asking for pain killers? I feel like I am being judged but maybe thats my own insecurity. anyway - it was nice to hear from you guys, thanks again meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
