I wish I could tolerate hydrocodone. I did a long time ago, but years of meds have wrecked my stomach. I just had dental work done and needed hydrocodone. After a couple of doses, I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m sure you know to never take it on an empty stomach. All of us helping each other helps us get through chronic pain which is really difficult to live with. When they isolate, like I used to do, it allows the brain time to focus on our pain which causes depression which increases the pain which causes more depression… A vicious circle. It was hard for me to break it, but, thank God, I did. God bless you John, and everyone else who suffers.
