living with pain and other medical conditions

[inquiryhelp]

Well,

 i know that is really hard living with pain derived from a physical condition,or having any other condition maybe like anxiety.Having to take medications should not be the answer but,thanks got they exist.

 I am not promoting the use of pain killers or anti anxiety meds,just say that,what would be the life of those people that need these meds if they did not exist.

Hello All,

Just thought I would jump in. Trying to be more sociable as the last 2 years have been so rough. The pain meds are a necessary evil. Two years ago I had a pancreatic attack and almost died at a young age. I literally seen my life flash in front of my eyes as I lay in the hospital for 14 days. The more pain medication I took I felt like a xxxx. However I began studying my condition all day and all night day after day. I came across a site sort of like this but specifically for my condition. There was a mother on there scared to death that her 12 year old had this disease and the little girl was complaining to her mother that she did not like taking pain medication because it made her feel weird. /default_sad.png Everyone on the site told the mother if your daughter will have an ounce of quality of life it is the only thing that would work. It was then and only then that I came to terms. I just try to hide it so people do not look at me as if I am popping. Some days you have to take quite a bit for the pain. If it gets out of control and it does you have to go to the hospital and get hooked up to Diladin, (error), until you get through the pain and then write more pain medicine. The point is even my own mother had said son there are times when you just have to do what you need to get through the day.  Stop feeling guilty for something out of your control. Thanks for listening everyone.

Best,

P

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the message and likewise it is not a fun position to be in and you have to fight for everything. Do you have to do the same with your Doctors? Honestly I think much of this "scared to death of losing their license medical practice" is because of celebrities who take it for recreational use. I could care less if they want to party however now we pay for it, more pain due to lack of appropriate pain medication. I do not know how I would have a decent quality of life without DBG. I did just find a thread on here that somehow can point you in the right direction to a sympathetic Doctor willing to prescribe what is needed although I forget at the moment which thread its on. It was really interesting. I found 2 Doctors right in my area 5 minutes away. I do not understand it fully yet however will be researching it over the next couple of weeks.In any case thanks Matt and take care. /default_smile.png
