Damage to other organs due to excessive opiate abuse?

[ChiTownGirl]

This question is for the Doctor.  What damage can be done to other organs, besides the liver, from long term opiate abuse?  Are there any warning signs that we are doing damage and need to stop immediately?

Damn. And I was just in the mood to be taken advantage of ... We've never met or talked on the phone, but I KNOW you're a hell raiser in the boudoir ... Trust me. I just know these things.

Holy Buckets!! I just reread what I typed and it sounds like  blatant seduction...I was referring to my husband, of course.....  You're safe for now.  Peaz

Hey Greg--Hope you had a great Christmas!! It certainly sounds like you did.  You deserve it, guy!  I made it through a day w/ drinking relatives, and though I left early (by my own choice) my sobriety is intact and I'm not even pouting.....Anyway--it was good to hear from you.


Thomas---Since I stayed sober I am not in the bag, but perhaps I can get in the sack a little later......Is that an even exchange?

They ALWAYS read a Thomas post? Mmmmm, I wonder if I should add some banner ads ...

Happy Holidays, hope everyone that wants to be is happily in the bag by now.

Thank you Sir Thomas!!!
I guess you consciously are not aware of any possible positives that can come from tragedy; but i can say first hand, it really has made me focus on the positives.
And I would have to say you and others here have helped me tremendously.....and for that I am forever grateful.
Hope you had a great Christmas Day also!!!
Keep posting brother, as everyone has mentioned, you write with amazing insight, compassion, humour, eloquence, (you get the idea); meaning: people always read a Thomas post.
THANK YOU

All the best to you, my friend. It sounds like you're truly having a Christmas of firsts! Savor it. You made it happen with your own will and hands.
