Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone has ever brought pain meds.. over the internet or thought about it. The reason why I ask. For some reason I'm getting alot of emails with promotional stuff about meds online. IF it was legal I would. Would anyone out in D.S land...LOL

love shavon.

Hey there, how are you feeling?? You must not be feeling that great if you're considering buying meds online. What's going on with you?

To answer your question - If I was in a tough spot, I would rather go to the awful emergency room, which I HATE, than try to get meds online without a prescription for a few reasons.
1. I trust that what they give me in the ER is SAFE and EFFECTIVE, as opposed to God knows what they'd send you (if anything) from an online purchase.
2. Who knows - the DEA could be behind any of these online stores - kind of like a sting operation. Being caught doing that would ruin all chances of receiving proper pain management in the future. This would literally kill me.
3. I have not yet been denied the medication that I need.

Hope this gives you something to ponder, and let us know how you're doing!
With lots of caring,
Orchid

Oh Dear, When you hurt really bad it is tempting, but I would no more buy meds online than go to the online re-habs. Food for thought! Try the ER, and then try to get into a Dr. Best of Luck, Deb

I always wondered about that too. i was always too scared to try to get them too though for all those reasons. luckily i found a good doctor that tries to actually find ways to deal with my pain and didnt think i was just an addict trying to get pills. it can be so frustrating. i hope you can find a doc that is willing to try different treatments for you. Good luck Chev.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
