It's been tough. I want to tell her to suck it up, but I really don't know how real the pain is. she has always had a low pain threshold though.
yup. my sister went through her stuff and threw away everything she claimed she no longer was taking. she had a prescription from her GP for 100 pills of double doses of Vicodin. thankfully it was old and most of the pills were still there so she clearly wasn't taking a lot. but what ****ing doctor subscribes that much Vicodin to a 120 pound 72 year old woman?
i'm trying to get her to get a new GP, but my mother has been with her for 20 years at least and swears by the woman.
this is a woman who was on the cover of time magazine for being the physician of the year. I don't get it.
My shoulder doctor was very careful to give me the weakest Oxys he could, and only one refill. I was pretty miserable for about 3 weeks after that.
Had my knee ripped apart and was prescribed some shit that resembled Advil and no refill. Shattered knee cap, torn ACL, torn cartilage and I got some glorified headache medicine.
I just took more than what I was supposed to until it ran out, then got some meds from a street pharmacist.
I like to feel most of the pain. I hate not being able to tell if it is getting better, infected, or what-not. Pain can be good (within reason). When it's bed time though, that's when I would want relief. This means I end up with a lot of unused medication, and then you find out which of your friends/roommates are sketchy when they are trying to buy them off of you. I dump them out of the bottle into the garbage.
