Suzetrigine - a novel drug for pain

I go to a specialized pain doctor for Percocet. I have a prescription for 7.5 mg, and take 1/2 pill 3-4 times per day. It doesn’t take away all the neuropathy pain, but it gives me a break. I have been on this for 10 years. I’m not worried about “addiction “ (I’ve never used drugs, smoked or drank alcohol) but I’m worried about someone who has never experienced chronic pain deciding that I need to suffer even more than I already do. Pictures of my face are good at showing the effects of years of chronic pain. Look back at your Facebook pics. This year I did a “thing”. I’ve had Botox injections between my brows. Not for glamour, but because my brows are constantly drawn together from chronic stress and pain. I couldn’t raise my eyebrows. Botox relaxes that clenched muscle, and I feel instant relief.
Don’t let ANYONE tell you that pain control is bad for you.

Unfortunately, I have been at this for eight years and my primary and pain management doctors will not give opiates. The concern is their licenses. I have a pill that took me 4.5 years to get from my PM doctor. It's primary use is to help you get off of opiates. Doctors have said, "So you've had problems with opiates" . At least, it makes me tired. I have tried a multitude of vitamins, oils, creams, etc. CBD with THC and without. I have cried, I have yelled and I have pleaded. I'm amazed I got anything. I've also tried antidepressants. I can't begin to tell you how much I have wasted. I have also tried treatments - calmare therapy, cold laser, acupuncture, and on and on. I'm grateful my PM doctor is a neurologist, so he understands what I have. Many have never heard of it. I'm amazed I'm still trying and I hope this new medication becomes available to those that suffer from chronic pain. 🙏
