@lioness, Ask and ye shall receive! jk, but this article; http://time.com/5159879/is-an-anti-aging-pill-on-the-horizon/, discusses the development of a drug that would make our cells act and feel at least 20 years younger. I know that most people who have made it 70 or 80 years on this planet typically say they have no interest in living forever, but the caveat is usually spending that extra time in the physical condition they are currently in. If able to have a much higher quality of life, physically, I think many would be excited at that prospect. However, as a Christian, I believe that my "quality of life" will be beyond my most fantastic imaginings, that I am not sure I would change my answer.

I am currently at Mayo with a sick child but can relate to you all. taking a moment to rest but I do not medicate with any major fibro meds. LDN has proven helpful. I am being treated by an Integrated MD.

Is this a general practitioner or a pain specialist? I know there are almost no GP's who will write an opioid script, but pain management docs, for the time being, will still prescribe opiates for pain that does not respond to anything less. Pancreatic pain acts a bit different than back or joint pain and there is nothing that truly is designed for organ pain. I have had something similar to an epidural in the nerve center nearest the organ, but without any noticeable results. Have you thought about the nerve stimulators that a number of members here have spoken highly of; I would not know anything about their results. Take as much care of yourself as is possible, Gary

The last few days has been so hard on me. Will I have to out up with this forever? I asked the doctor for a stronger pain med and she did nothing. I take Tramadal The only way that helps is if I take it all day long. I slept almost all day today. Off and On. I asked God to please heal me

Gman...We are going to a place where there will be no pain Sounds good to me. I wish these doctors would stop worrying about drugs and give us what we want ad need.

Not interested in lenghth of years, but like all of us, in quality of life, and being useful til God takes me home.79 yr old Husband losing his job next week, and we have to cash out of our mobile home.

Hi all:. I am fortunate that my PC will write script for hydrocodone 7.5/acetaminophen 325 mgs. If We have to move away from San Jose,(losing our mobile home) I hope I can find another good PC wherever we end up. Wishing all of you many pain free productive hours today. I have so few of those, that I cherish those hours. Victorious 69
