Omg- Pain is the only thing that once made me think of suicide when my pain wasn't managed for about 4 days- It was what Hell would really be like. Taking away our pain management is crule and unusual punishment! I go to the pool indoors and that helps me and I try and stay as active as possible. This Patch gives me a chance to live normal and do things that all people do to survive. I can't take a shower when my pain is not controlled it's like this slow death torture. All I can say is I am glad God is a big God and a Loving God, so I personaly am not to worried. I would say, take the minimum of pills, or use a patch, so if ever that was snatched from us we at least would'nt suffer unbearable withdrawl too. A lot of us would have to go black market. Or start doing herion....ekkkkkkkkkkkView Thread
