1. What do you do when you have a remission ? Go to rehab?
2. Doesnt having to go to lots of doctors to find one who gives you pain meds set off alarm bells with anyone? My cousin comes to the coast with huge bottles of oxy contin hundreds of pills .What doctor ould give someone that many pills ? And what pharmacy would fill them?I was scared to drive with her she was so stoned. Oh and she gave me the chronic pain suferers cannot become addicted line .
3.Why do you insist you cannot become addicted ? People with surgeries take them for legite reasons and become addicted ,so therefore if you go into remission you will then be an addict ?
My doctor believre the theory that there is something wrong in our brain with the pain receptors that is why Lyrica it works on that pat of our brain .There is many many write ups online saying that pain killers dont work .I personally have never tried them so I dont know .As you know there are still even doctors out there who dont even believe in Fibromyalgia. I suffer very much from Fibro and also have MCTD .I am hoping for a remission .But I have not been offered opiods by my awesome doctors and am quite happy with that .I believe everyone should make there own choices ,so please make yours but please dont encourage anyone who is in pain to find a doctor to prescribe addicting drugs ,Oh and by the way depedance is the same as addiction .Try going off your drugs cold turkey and see what happens you will soon find out you are addicted.
