lol thanks diggs .....I really am part of 1.5 million people in the world that are chemically addicted ...it's for pain yes but the way they work are quite diff....an opiate works on feel good opiate receptors in the brain....let me explain...a normal person through life encounters highs and lowes...a high (a new job,ready to eat at a restaurant ,meeting a girl, watching a great tv show....when happiness manifest dopamine is kicked out in very small amounts let's say in the amount of 1mg....and maybe 2-3 times a day....now you destroy your body and been through multiple surgeries your always in pain this pain makes you not functional and depressed and surpresses the 1mg of dopamine....so you find a pain management dr....and now I want you to see the numerical difference there are all kinds of opiates (not really to kill pain ,more of a powerful mind chemical that makes you energised,warm and toasty to the skin and in a great mood problem is and here's the number diff...instead of 1mg a few times a day the med I was on was no not vicodin,no not 10 MG percocet......I was on oxycontin 30 mgs/4xs a day for the last 3 years so think bout it instead of 1mg up to 2 x a day I'm on 120xs that for the last 3 years...by the way not to mention because you can take the pill at will your always controlling how happy your are..hell you never feel sad and there's not only no more pain but on it I feel I can go back in the ring...not because I physically can but because I have a POWERFUL MIND CHEMICAL MARINE ME FEEL I CAN...now after a certain length of time ,3 months the body becomes addicted not just psychologically addicted,but physically addicted in other words the body feels that the opiate is as important as oxygen it needs it...it's all in the brain there are all kinds of amazing defenses in the body that all start in the central nervous system ,you sweat when your hot so the moisture of the body is released in hot liquid and when the wind blows the persperation enables the body to becool....same thing with powerful pain meds , what the body will do when it craves the pain mess will make ever pain magnified 20 fold it will also make you very depressed (because your always used to being in a feel good state) it will make your heart race vomit and a whole list of thing that's the brains way of saying we're missing the opiate give us more and now.so this is the boat I'm in my dr got shutdown simply because one of his lowlife patiants sold the prescription to an u Der cover narc....now it's very hard to find another because this kind of men's have many problems ,addictiin,overdose etc and because in the last 3 years more people died from prescription narcotics overdose than auto accidents and heart failure and all other drugs combined,yeah I have quite a lot of pain and I Def am able even to paint slouched over Which is painful for my back and it helps me sit on plane flights etc etc even getting on the floor with my dog...so right now to say a struggle is in the least...this is extremely difficult and can last months...Def not looking forward guys.
