Your very welcome! I want to tell you that I have been taking opioid pain medication for 19 years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2003 and have other health issues that contribute to pain. In 2019 my doctor started to taper my pain medication after the 2016 CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines were published. Those ‘guidelines’ soon became implemented as if they were law. In March this year, my pain doctor lost his license to prescribe opiates. The DEA went after him, as they are with other pain doctors and revoked his license. All his patients scrambled to find new doctors, including me. Since then, it’s been impossible for me to find a doctor who will prescribe that dosage of pain medication. My dosage had been tapered down to the 90MME requirement in the guidelines, but doctors are scared to prescribe so a new doctor abruptly cut me to 40MME (morphine milligram equivalent) or 40mg a day. So, for the past few years I’ve been in a constant state of withdrawal and heighten pain. On Wednesday last week, I took my last pain pill. My new doctor has prescribed something to help with withdrawal, an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers. It’s only been 3 days but I actually feel better than I did on opioids. No medication is perfect and ideally I’d like to be off them! But right now I’m accepting the treatment plan with this new doctor to see if it will help. If he can help me get moving physically, I will be able to gradually build back strength and hopefully do more! I’ve read that taking opioids for long periods of time can actually start to contribute to body pain. I now have the opportunity to check that out for myself! I definitely will not stay on these meds for 19 years!
