That’s actually the part that bothers me. This could be bad for people with chronic pain. I’m a chronic pain sufferer. Multiple auto immune and joint and nerve damage. I personally have said no to them the past 12 years and working on more non medicated relief but it’s getting harder and harder to manage and I know one day I will be to that point. If prescribed properly and used properly they are a very effective tool. I kind of think this is another way to weed out another portion of the population that are weighing down the system. I am still functioning and providing to society but a lot aren’t because they can’t. Pain can be emotionally and physically debilitating. I have on a couple of occasions myself begged to make it stop.
I was thinking more along the lines of temporary/ short term pain.
Chronic pain can be a whole different thing. The root cause should be the target, not masking symptoms with opioids. As effective as they are, it’s almost a suicide mission for a lot of folks to commit to opioids the rest of their lives. I hope you find root causes and relief without going the opioid route. ?
I am so sorry. I take mine just so it can take a tiny amount of pain away. I can feel your pain. If I could be pain free for one day there would be tears streaming down my face. It would be tears of joy. You are stronger then I am. Saying prayers for you.
Opioids work excellent…if you don’t abuse them.
