Hi Everyone, I've finally got it...I understand it all now. And, this is what I was thinking of this morning........ THE FACT THAT MY HUSBAND IS WILLING TO SUFFER WITH WHAT HE DESCRIBES AS...
Disce Pat, Yes, everything you've written does make sense. In the past, my husband has had nerve blocks (which did not work), prednisone shots to his spine (did not work). I have asked him to explore...
Thank you PAlady. I'm wondering what gave you the idea that his doctor is no longer willing to prescribe?...
PAlady, Do you believe his doctor would tell him he could take his oxycodone and methadone any way he wants to for his pain, but not to ever ask him for any more? I don't know how much of a history...
I think one of the things I'm fearful of is the fact that if it's not his choice to change his ways, but his ways are changed for him, that he WILL go to the streets. I'm fearful that what he could...
I've just had a conversation with my husband about him abusing his meds. He began to cry and told me that he can't do this any more...that he can't deal with all his pain and me too. He tells me he's...

Thanks everyone. Y'all will never know how much it helps to have the support of others when going through something like this. I think I have things all settled in my mind, and believe that he is...
PAlady, Thank you. Yes, you are right. I have changed my screen name. Could you tell me how to go about looking up my original posts please?...
sjkly, Yes, you do remember my original posts. Thank you. Do you act the way he acts when you take pain meds...up all night, nodding, eyes half closed, falling asleep in the middle of conversations...
Crohnie 1985, He detoxed from oxycontin and fentanyl 2 1/2 years ago, so no longer takes either of those meds. Do you feel there's any way that the way he now takes his oxycodone and methadone is as...
Thank you both so much for your responses. So you're both telling me that you don't nod out the way he does because you take pain meds, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE TIRED? And, you don't stay up all night long,...
I've posted here in the past, and wanted to reread what your responses were, but I'm not able to find my original posts, so I'll begin again. I'm sure you will remember my original posts. The subject...
