[QUOTE="grmac, post: 543990, member: 12243"] Oh Janet I'm so sorry that you are having health issues. It can be so frustrating. I hope they will find out what's wrong soon so you will feel better. Also, I'm not against anyone taking pain medications for their pain. It's just that she was taking way more than what was prescribed and listening to her I could tell she was 'doctor shopping' and sending others to find her more (from friends, neighbors, etc.). I believe she was truly in pain but when she became immune, she took more and more and then got hooked. RE and CJ, we did try to intervene last year with the family and show our concern. Her denial then led her to bolt out of the house with her oldest son and left back to her state. It was heartbreaking. This past January when I went there she admitted she had a problem and quit the medications. She does still take gabapentin (but so do I Janet! for sciatica) but she and family said she is off the hydrocodone. Sometimes I think she took whatever she could get her hands on (oxy, morphine, etc.) to ease the pain and it has affected her brain. She almost seems bipolar now. That's one reason her hubby got out of there with the daughter and is hoping she'll get help. I don't know, this is so hard. I did send her a text this morning wishing her happy birthday and that I love her dearly. I also reminded her that I'm here to listen. She won't call or text though. She hasn't yet. I'm afraid she has gotten herself into such a slump she doesn't know how to get out. She may also be afraid that she has a mental illness and doesn't want to admit it. Thank you all for responding and listening to me. [/QUOTE]
