Sometimes I get absolutely frustrated and weary from pain, so I revert to pain pills. Do I abuse them? No. They are easy to increase though because our bodies build up tolerance. It takes more and more for the pills to be effective.<BR/><BR/>We are talking about semantics here, but the media feeds off of using the wrong words. The show <I>Intervention</I> features people who abuse drugs. There are many levels of drug users. I'm talking about prescription drugs. Those who take them to get high on one end of the spectrum, and those who take them for pain. In the middle of that spectrum are those who get caught on the drug because it gives them relief. And it is difficult to stop without getting ill. It is difficult to taper off a drug when you are still in pain.<BR/><BR/>I agree that doctors don't force drugs on people literally. But usually when you go see a doctor, you can plan to leave with some kind of medication. Doctors are pill pushers. They have few other tricks up their sleeves. My sister takes Methadone for pain also. She was prescribed this by her doctor. She is not a drug abuser, but caught in a pain cycle. An addiction specialist told me that Methadone is one of the most difficult drugs to get off of. The doctor did not tell my sister this.<BR/><BR/>Interesting topics on your page....marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862869477202450205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516991800470797675.post-82905417195412588072007-05-09T12:40:00.000-05:002007-05-09T12:40:00.000-05:00Jerry, I saw your blog today and wanted to get in ...Jerry, I saw your blog today and wanted to get in touch with you.
