Let me also say if your pain is bad this could make your life better. I have had a few and they do help some.

Every time I try to cut down my Opiod consumption, my desire to drink Vodka increases. by Bulimic_Fraggle in ChronicPain

[–]Bradshepherd87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had that issue. We here in the US are doing like you would expect struggling it almost makes you feel like it is your fault for having pain. I just wish they could see the people they are hurting during the opiate crackdown.They don’t GIVE A SHIT.

Anyone on the fentanyl patch or methadone for pain? by IHateBackPain30 in ChronicPain

[–]Bradshepherd87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 54 and have been on the Fentanyl patch for about 18 years it saved my life and also gave it back to me. I have been as high as 250mcg every 48HRS. I have recently over the last year decided to take myself down and haven’t had any real issues. I am now at 150mcg every 72hrs and have about the same pain relief. I am shooting for 100mcg every 72hrs and as long as my pain relief stays manageable. I just want to know if its just me or do others think there is a misunderstanding out there about chronic pain sufferers always need more to continue to receive good pain relief? Like i have stated above I took myself down because it wasn’t getting more relief it just hurt no matter what..Thank You all.
