Abuse of Opioids takes away from all the good it can do

I’m sorry you have such pain! Some people become resistant to their opioids in pill form. There is an opioid patch (not to be confused with fentanyl patches) that works for 10 days before it needs changing to a new patch. Have you tried that? Pain should be treated like any other debilitating chronic disease!

@lynns51 I am so sorry. I meant to write I DO have a good quality of life! Because the low-dose opioid relieves my pain completely. However, I have never heard of the opioid patch. I would be a little worried because I don’t have pain all the times of the day only during certain times. And I’m not sure what dosage it comes in. Might you know? I am very lucky that the low dose has kept me stable for 25 years and productive. Thanks for the tip about the patch!
