Ive read your posts in DS and have respected and appreciated your input. Having said that-
That is an insane amount of meds. before you say I have no right to say that, hear me out.
I too have chronic pain.I broke all of my vertebra in my thoracic spine in a car accident. I had no surgery and as Ive aged, the have fractured again a few times. I also have Trigenmenial Neuralga and very back scoliosis.
Now, I have had hell getting ANY help at ALL.
DO you know why I was hooked on hydro? Because after 6 years of literally seeing every doctor in my surrounding towns, I could not find ONE to treat me any copassion or respect, even after tests after tests. I was too young. Have tattoos and piercings. And therefore, I must be a seeker. On top of that Im sure that them being scammed for meds constantly stopped them from prescribing.
So a few years back, I got a dealer and treated myself. As luck would have it, I have in just the last few months found a doctor to treat me.
But I had to hit the streets first and treat myself, which I think really fueled the addiction.
When people hear you talk about your meds the way you do.... well, its really hard to see that line you stand on. I believe you have pain- I wont knock that- and are a real CP patient but you need to at least understand why people think you are an addict.
Personally, I think you are both.
