I’ve been on meds twice now for chronic pain. Both times the side effects made me decide I was better off with the pain. The complete loss of emotional control was not fun and made me feel like I lost myself.
@[Greywolf1963]:
I’m not going to pretend that I’ve ever known how that feels, but my tale is a bit similar.
Getting all 4 of my wisdom-teeth removed required surgery, anesthesia, & an overnight hospital stay.
As the anesthetic wore-off, I couldn’t sleep, because of the pain. At my request, they gave me a shot, but it made me so loopy that now I couldn’t sleep in a “spinning” bed, & as it wore-off, I was too nauseous-&-puking to sleep.
Ultimately, all I could do was take my painful mouth & sit in the lighted hallway, & read a book, so the light wouldn’t wake my room-mate.
…& that’s how I learned that I don’t have what it takes to be a drug-addict.
I can relate. The meds I mentioned earlier were developed for psychological issues but it was discovered that they helped against chronic pain. Over the years I’ve used a wide variety of medications. With the outright pain meds, many of them will cause me to throw up, and some not even anti-nausea meds will let me keep anything down. For me the high offered by drugs has no appeal, but opiates are some of the few options I have when the pain gets unbearable. It frustrates me the hoops I have to jump through to get them because they’ve been abused by others over the years.
