Very well stated! I was on a low dose of hydrocodone for years and it helped my chronic pain, but every doctor I saw during that time tried to get me to get off opioids. I finally gave in to try low dose naltrexone, which didn't work as well as hydrocodone. After 4 years of worsening pain, I sure wish I had stayed on the hydrocodone. I've felt the way you do about opioids. The people who need them for actual pain we live with every day are being denied relief because of those who abuse them, and doctors should be able to differentiate between those who need these drugs to live our lives and those who don't. I wasn't even on a dose that I could get addicted to. Makes me really angry!
