Morning love...
I am a firm believer that in this day and age, no one should have to suffer with pain, chronic or otherwise.  I am also quite convinced that the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard is the fact that the powers that be have yet to invent a medication that treats pain without having the person go down the road of physical and mental addiction.  
It's insane to me that the choices you are faced with right now are to either live in excrutiating pain or take your chances with another addiction.  Haven't you been through enough?  Why is that it's so far fetched to think that someone in a lab somewhere can invent a medication, be it synthetic or natural, that treats pain for those who really need it to have even half of the quality of live that others have without having to sell their soul to these drugs!
I am so very sorry that you are going through this and I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
This country is so hell bent on making money off of other people trials and tribulations that I bet this medication I speak of is on a shelf somewhere and there it will stay because the pharm companies and the doctors and the rehabs would probably go out of business, or at least be a lot less busy.
I think we all need to take a road trip to go see Michael Morore's SICKO.
Gyps... I love ya.  You WILL be ok because you have no choice and the alternative is unthinkable!! Keep reaching out.  We are all here for you!

Thank you so very much, how nice it was to wake up and see such a supportive post to me on the board. I couldn't agree with you more as far as th pharmacuetical companies are concerned, that they just want to hit our wallets on both side of the addiction process.
You have been such a thoughtful and understanding friend, I truly appreciate your taking the time out of your busy schedule for me. I know that I am going to have to get through this before start working on coming off the meds again, it just gets a little overwhelming and discouraging at times, ya know? When I think about how far I had come and then bam, it was gone and then another worry addad to the pile. Well, here I go again, I have to stop that thinking right when it starts.
Anyway, you are so very right, I have been through a lot of battles. That is what gives me the courage to believe I can do this one more time, but only with the help of you , my other forum friends and the other ppl of this board that I have yet to meet. You are truly one of the good guy's and I'm grateful to have you routing for me and able to lean on you if needed.
I hope all is well with you. Are you doing okay? How are the kid's? Let me know that all is well. Thank you again.
Hugs,
Gypsy

Hey.  I'm having major computer issues this morning... grrrr
I jsut have the one daughter but believe me she is more than enough.  We went for a wlk on the boardwalk yesterday and lost one of her favorite stuffed animla.s  I think I'm more upset than she is.
Anyway, I know you can get through this.  The funny thing about life I've found is that when it kows you're strong it keeps finding ways for you to practice that strength!!  I think yo've gotten more than enough practice at this point, no?
I have court today.  I'm in the middle of a dental lawsuit.  A dentist put all the wrong size posts in my teeth and I'm suing because they are all falling apart so I have to go to court today.  It's near the end so I need some happy thoughts and prayers too.
I will be on later.
Love to you and HUGS hahahaha but seriously, both of those headed your way.  Try and have a great day.
Oh and I go to get my Subutex onThursday morning too so it should be a good week I hope.
