[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 80290, member: 1514"] GG...you didnt upset me, BBK did and its because I have the disorders being talked about. I am sorry that I have gone off on a tangent in this post. I certainly dont know your mom and she may well be abusing her pain medications. I have no clue. Her pain management doctor should be keeping an eye on her and not be allowing that. If he is, then he is negligent. There are fibro patients who are bedridden and in such horrible pain that they are simply unable to function. They have brain fog, pain, muscle weakness, tremors and other problems that dont allow them to function. Im going to recommend a website to GG that she can go to and read and get some first hand information about fibro.
