@jas1 I too why you were “fast tapered” off of narcotics if you had/have chronic pain, is doesn’t compute. Now it seems you’re saying you don’t want pain meds and prefer going at it on your own? As an MS patient managing your pain is a problem but can be done. You should take the meds and feel better.

I agree, jenatsky. It’s not healthy to be in continual pain. I’m working on a solution, but described in a comment below how it happened. Rather complicated and nonsensical, but I’m not the first. It was almost a relief to know I wasn’t alone, but because other people suffer, too.
I do want pain relief. I do not want to be placed in hard withdrawal ever again. My strength gets exhausted and sometimes it’s hard to go on, but i believe inner strength never ends, and I find hope the last thing I hold on to. I spoke with a senator’s office today, and a pain specialty clinic who’ve given me conflicting info, so we’ll see. : )
Thank you for validating that it’s ok to take medicine and to feel better. Really.
