i have read this forum occationally and you all have such great knowledge. my question goes out for a loved family member. this gal is early 30's with a husband that isnt the best, drinks a bit and used to disappear for days and days to smoke crack. he is not using crack just drinking. ok back to her, she has stress and doesnt deal well. she has several health problems, and a few that either change into something else, are forgotten about when she can find something else wrong. she takes pain meds daily and muscle relaxer. she claims maybe at night time only or a few a day is all. i dont know what pain meds they are but i think she mentioned norco? her husband takes oxycontin. i questioned her need for so many pills, she takes several others (she wont give any up). i am not a dr so i cant say she does or doesnt need them. i just wonder when the rx goes from one dr, then from another. it depends on what her health problem is at the time. i said she was addicted and her reply was "what do you expect me to do im in pain all the time". my beef with her is that she doesnt do a darn thing to help herself get well. her diet plays a large part, she wont do it. she goes to urgentcare or questions going to the emergency but cant with her two little kids. does this sound like a person who might have a problem with prescription pills or am i stepping out of line? i can see a difference in when she is stressed, but claims pain, so she pops a pill then jokes now i can handle these kids. i dont know why i am asking, i doubt she would ever listen, she tells me its none of my business. i guess it might be. they drink while on these pain meds too which worry me.
