LLP, That sounds quite exciting! I contributed to some similar antics. A couple of my friends went to a state where it's legal to buy those large fireworks, and brought ~ $600 worth back into CO....
PAlady, I have a pretty neutral view of opiates most times, and I definitely didn't mean to suggest anything in general terms (it wasn't about you or anyone else's use, just Bill's). I always try to...
Hey Twiggy, Sorry about your chronic back pain - I also have some intense back pain, that I believe is related to a disc or two bulging into my Sciatic Nerve (says Neurologist). It was mentioned to...
Hey Katherine! I am also new here and learning still, so I don't know what my advice is worth, but I agree with some of the more established members of this community. I think you need to seek out...
Hi All, I wanted to let everyone know that my neurologist appointment went quite well. He is a very caring and perceptive person from what I can tell, and we got along really well. I had scheduled my...
Bill, I don't believe I've had the chance to make your acquaintance. I'm very sorry for your trials and tribulations, but applaud you heartily for stopping the opiate-based pain medications. First of...
Susies 1955, Welcome and thanks for sharing with us. I'm sorry for the intense pain you've been experiencing. I also have lower back pain, in addition to pain in my right buttock, right back thigh,...
PAlady Thanks for you wishes of good luck, I hope to get some answers for sure! So many doctors one must see, I did not expect this. I will hold off on going to a pain doctor until I know what is...
Interesting, so it looks like I will be having to make several more appointments with yet more different doctors if I want to fully treat my problems. I hate dealing with this pain. I just hope the...
hellokitty, I also wanted to say that you'd be hard-pressed to find any recreational drug users that go to the length of cold water extraction to use higher doses of oxy or hydrocodone. They will...
Michael Jackson is a bad example of many situations: this one is no different. Also, does anyone else dislike the heavy celebrity worship/fascination seen today?...
Thanks a bunch for the responses! I have started making a list of semi-intelligent questions to ask. Thanks for that idea, straydog. Stella, you layed it out in great detail! Thank you so much for...
I haven't heard of this muscle relaxant before. I just got off orphenadrine citrate as it wasn't doing anything for me, but make me feel very agitated and confused. Are there any unwanted side...
They will most likely start prescribing other drugs without the acetominophen for people that need the pain relief of low dose opiates. There are many of these products out right now in the form of...
Good Evening Everyone, I hope all of you are doing well. I have a neurologist appointment Monday morning and was kind of wondering what to expect? What information should I be ready to supply? I...
Everyone, Thanks for all your consideration and advice, Patti, fatherjohn, PAlady, Dani, me, mystic_duck, and straydog. I am impressed with the level of knowledge this forum shares between its...
Patti, Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for your compassion. I have never heard of Sciatica before, only the Sciatic Nerve. Upon searching for this term in the forum, though, I find that the...
Animus, I'm so sorry to hear of your problem. I trust you are referring to an addiction formed through medical use of methadone, rather than illegal use (which is prohibited to talk about here). I...
Recently I had the misfortune to live with a roommate that was rather unscrupulous. He would take my muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication despite me telling him there was no recreational...
Hi everyone, I have been reading posts on this forum for the past couple weeks and have found it to be a great wealth of knowledge, as well as compassion. My name is Logan and I'm 22 years old. For...
