This is my first post on social media since the days of chat rooms. I have been tturning on or "torn down "for 45 years. Narcotics being the down side naturally. Been free of morphine and oxy 7 months now. I quit cold in the summer . Had a car crash in 13 that really changed my life. Just an intro.
Anyway has any one thought that outlawing LSD had something to do with drug use or just the thoughts of a burn out. Thanks.
 
Hi stonpone, interesting username. Good to have you on the boards, you'll find that there are more than a few users who have used chatrooms from back in the day. So i'm sure you'll be familiar with the exchanges between internet users :D
Join in any topic you feel you have something to say on, and hopefully others will reach out to any topics you may bring up.
 
Thanks

Thanks Blue Phlame.stonpone comes from making corn pone or corn bread people seem to like, here in Georgia.
 
If your new to forums then we have a handy 'Greenlighter's Guide' that may be of some use to you - you can find that here.

Welcome to the site
 
Thanks Bearlove. Trying to decide between going back on opioids or using natural alternatives. I have been been off oxy and morphine seven months. Used ALL types of drugs for recreation for years then a car crash in 13 changed my view. Still a head but weed is so pricey when medicare doesn't cover it! Opioids are cheaper in Georgia.
Take care.
 
:) Hello Steve and WELCOME...It seems you are a fellow southerner. My dad called cornbread "cornpone"...funny. My mom (now 91) made homemade biscuits and cornbread EVERY day of her life. I am the youngest of 5 siblings, yet the only one who can cook like my mom did. I have my mom's old square iron skillet that I use strictly for cornbread. I love nostalgia, so I display my skillets on an old barn wood wall for easy access, cooking with them constantly.

My husband calls southern cooking "soul food". Few people do the cooking any more, but MOST will pull up and chair and stuff themselves! It's a labor of love, IMO.

My mom died (for all intense purposes) last Thursday night (again). My husband (36 years) and I went down to the NH to sit with her. I tried for hours to wake her, but no response. Even in her deepest dementia, she comes alive...telling you that she needs to get the bacon frying and the biscuits made. She was out cold. I continuously called "Mama...it's me...wake up! You need to make the biscuits and get the salt meat frying!" She finally rustled awake, clear as a bell, wanting ice cream.

Sorry...Sometimes I overshare, I suppose. I wonder if you are real or a "troll" or shit poster. Sadly, we've had quite the influx of those for several months now. They seem to mock the chronic pain folks, mid-century moderns (like myself) and southerners. I don't get it.

I empathize with your health issues. I survived 2 killer accidents, one that nearly killed my mom, sister and me. We were airlifted. The second came very close to decapitating me (via spare tire hurling through my windshield). I have survived MUCH, but it seems my lot in life is to endure pain until death sets me free. I also live with stage 4 disease, with no hope of cure.

I've never used drugs recreationally. I have to be honest, I don't understand that mindset. We drank JD in school/Ole Miss, but never touched drugs of any kind. I don't judge. I don't mean it that way at all. It was just never an option, growing up in a strict home where excellence was not negotiable. So...I'm no help there.

I've been in PM since 2014, but have no success. The meds prescribed just exacerbate my GI issues. I use various modalities to challenge the bone loss from Lupron and arthritis, not to mention old injuries that shadow my every move. I swim daily and do Yoga stretching. I prefer heat over ice packs. I take meds only when I am desperate. Right now I'm drinking Go-Lyte colon cleanse, not for test, but for severe constipation. It's not working. I fear surgery to remove my colon could be looming. I won't do it. I'm tired of this fight.

I hope you find what you need for relief. :)
 
Hello DixiChic,l am glad you shared with me. I also have my old cast iron cook ware on the wall. I cook biscuits and cornbread thanks to my grandmother. I live in the "sticks " and see very few folk besides my son and his lady.
I am happy to hear from southerns as I have been withdrawn from people since my accident. My hands give me trouble do I sometimes give up on posting, but I come right back trying.
My health is okay,my liver and kidneys are starting to bother me that's why l am tired of opioids. I smoke weed for pain but my quality of life could be better. Having said that, I am doing very well!.
Not trolling but casting out good thoughts for all. You take care.
 
:| Nada on the colon prep...drank whole gallon (yuk) but no results. Next step? Don't know, but hope to hear from GI nurse soon.

I'm sorry you feel isolated, but happy you have your son's company. DO KEEP TRYING...Post here as often as you like.
 
I need to have my insides checked out, doc wants to start soon.
I was raised southern baptist so I have a spiritual core or what's left. So you are in my days "prayer" .
Not in PM yet, had an old school doc for years that kept me out of pain. She died June 2013,of course she had a rep for treating and anyone seeing her was a dope fiend. So I'm winging it.
