If you don't mind me asking how did you stop, what helped you. I'm wanting to quit because I'm getting married soon and eventually want to start a family, at times I hate depending on pills for the pain but it's also mentally I'm scared and don't have confidence in myself but I do realize that I need help

Absolutely not!!!! She was saying the truth!!! I have to rods in my back and 8 brackets. And part of my hip missing. You obvious are not in that much much pain. So you can not relate when you are taking something that is actually helping, and you have to stop because of what of what others say.

Amen. What a Beautiful Post. I have been dealing with Chronic Pain for 5 years now.. Pain Management Dr. Dropped me due to inability to get insurance... I was thrown into the "Socialized Medicine", arena.. I had already stopped one med that most people take for life, I was viewed as a drug seeker because Of the medications I had been taking.. Very very long story, but The new Dr. Put me on 4 meds, I was so ill and BPhad skyrocketed due to meds and Pain, I went in and asked if someone could possibly take my BP just to document it.. I was put into a room for a "Nurses appt. she denied to take my BP 3 times... I was so confused, upset, and in pain that I began to cry... She came back into the room with 2 appointments for a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist (again, as they had done 2 months prior, of which the conclusion was a little anxiety and a little depression but understandable due to pain), I suffered with high BP for 11 days, could barely sleep. Finally upon Seeing my Dr.. She wanted to give me 2 more meds?? That would take it from 2 before I went there to 6 prescriptions.. I don't want to take pills anymore.. It is prison. Well to the point,, the meds Prescribed were harming me and the side effects are WORSE than the meds I was taking and all of them.... You must wean yourself off of. Government needs to stay the Hell out of The Medical Field.. But they are bought off by the Pharmaceutical Companies.. Something has got to give. )sorry I needed to Vent. God Bless.

HUMBLE ME Says:
Sk8tr, The guy was just asking a question because he sounds a little challenged on the mg's and the effectiveness of a pill. An addict is always an addict so where do you get off ripping on him?? As for your knowledge and attitude in your post you must be a cocky punk skater resting on his laurels. I know you posted this a while ago and I hope you get to read this sometime. I hadn't read such a conceded, judgmental and ignorant post like this ever....what a d***. What a waste of time writing this to you. You need to be smacked down off your high horse with a big ass bat named "RESPECT"!!

It's actually disgusting when people whom have been addicted to drugs and become clean turn around and for one think you are now better then "an addict" and talk the way you did to the person who was talking about the milligrams of the medication. I'm sure you spoke the same way when you were an addict but for you to come into this conversation to be a total a$$hole talking how he/she must be an addict is just horrible. Shame on you and you need to pay better attention in your na meetings...Learn how to treat people!!!

Don't be so judgmental. They may be in serious pain and just looking for something a little stronger.

Your pity party is heart breaking. However, if you'd stop with your arrogance, someone might actually feel bad for the pain you're in.

Hi sk8r00. I truely feel for you. I understand what you are going through. Although my life wasn't taken suddenly, but slowly but also painfully as well. Neuontin has worked wonders for my siatica and pintched Nurves. I have many important damaged Nurves that hurts like a b. Every dr I've seen says that it's something I'm going to have to get used to so for the past 10 years I've been on different narcotics and nurve pills (like neuontin, gabipentin etc). They may be the same I don't know. But right now I'm on enough morphine and Norco to put a small horse to sleep yet still won't relieve the pain. I've had 6 spine surgeries and 15 fused disks. 6 titanium poles and umpteen screws. Anyways I didn't mean to make this about me I just wanted to let you know neuontin has work for me. (Not completely) but enough to walk without a cane. I truely wish you the best and don't give up. Hopefully you'll be up again soon. I just reciently moved to New Zealand and luckily the Drs (although I had to see specialists) sympathised with my pain and agreed to try other things so maybe one day I'll be off all the narcotics.
Just starting to watch rugby since I'm from the states and am used to am football (GO CHARGERS). But it seems like a great (yet dangerous) game.
Keep up your research it seems like you are doing what's best for you. That's all we can ever do!
Take care

No offense- but just because you felt as though his/her wording made him/her sound like a drug seeking addict, maybe that sheds more light on your own past problems. To me it sounded like the average folks asking questions that doesn't know the difference- just someone which knowledge. When I was prescribed bacolfen I didn't know much about it. I didn't know any generic names, or if baclofen was the generic. If I had been on what I thought was the same medicine prior and at 800mg then the pharmacy gave me 10mg of what was supposed to be the same meds, I would also question it. Sure lack of information on our parts will garner these results- but that is in no way a reason to charge someone so conclusively with being a drug seeking addict. You tell him/her to be more intelligent- I ask you to be more intelligent and don't place your past indescritions on other people. Your judgement without knowing that person is totally unfair and unfounded. Thank you.

Cory Says:
Are you serious. You're really going to bash a stranger on their "desperately and poorly worded post" and then urge them to construct a "more intelligent" one when you yourself misspelled multiple words and included several disjointed phrases?
And then to pass judgement on what you identify as addict like behavior when you say you've "been there"... That is simply childish and ignorant. How about trying to show some compassion and support? That might actually help and comfort those people in similar situations who are just reading to help find strength to overcome their own battles.
And while we're talking about "neon signs" for pill seeking behavior, might want to consider leaving out your "medical history" at the bottom of your posts. If anything, THAT smacks of desperation. A) no one is going to care about your situation if you don't care about the situation of others. And B) it seems like all those who are addicts put these long trumped up medical histories in their posts more for themselves. You're giving yourself reasons to take the meds that you do.
Don't be so quick to pass judgement

Wow remember where you came from. U have 7 years but your what I'd called a dry drunk. You have no recovery and no sympathy for the addict who still suffers. If he's an addict then wish him recovery pray whatever. But degradation gets u know where. I have 5 and a half years clean and sober but I do have a chronic illness and I know what works for me. I came to thus thread to read about this new med my doc is promoting for my spina bifida amongst other spinal iissues, etc... I'm sorry that anyone had to read that horrid post.

People don't understand that quality of life is very important. If you can't enjoy life why live. So,what if your addicted if the option is that the pain is so severe that you don't want to live or enjoy anything. The word addiction is so loaded with different meanings.that people cant see through it to make any valid or informed, realistic, and above all compassionate understanding decisions. PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND LOOK AT REALITY

Sk8tr, I don't think you have 7 years clean and sober, or any recovery for that matter. Take your own inventory. Leave these people alone. You are so rude and are full of accusations. You may be off your drug of choice but no recovering addict treats people this way.

sk8r,
Wow, you're truly angry. Why? That pain has manifested in your mouth. Maybe you've abused the drugs prescribed? I think this site is for information on the drug and it's effect verses another. Not attacking everyone and labeling them. Please be kind as I think most of us are truly in pain and just need more information as to what might work. Hope someone sheds a little love your way!
