[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 660898, member: 17461"] We were told that a large quantity of her prescribed pain medication (dilaudid) was stolen before she left to come North. The situation awakened all kinds of questions and suspicions. Thank you, Copa, for researching naloxone. That was kind of you. :O) We were all over the map last night before she got home. It is one thing to take everything day by day and another thing altogether to think she was back in the City where she was homeless. She didn't do that, though. She had been talking about suboxone since she arrived; she was forever talking about pain, pain medications, addiction. She called her doctor in the state she is from and was told that if she went to an Emergency Room or Free Clinic here, or made any effort to obtain legal help regarding withdrawal, she would be labeled as drug seeking and booted from whatever program she is on. She did the right thing...but it was impossible to trust that she would. All the shades of PTSD rocketed through all of us (the kids, too) last night. When she came home and was fine, the grands and D H and I hardly knew what to do with ourselves or how to act or whether to be happy or what to believe. But she was still alright this morning. Physically alright, too ~ which she hasn't been for some time, now. Daughter seems clearer, stronger, more centered than I have seen her since this started three years ago. She said she is in pain, but nothing she can't handle. We can't figure out why this isn't offered to everyone suffering chronic pain and sucked into dependence/elevating pain levels/beggardom as they try to balance what they feel they need to control pain with what they are or are not being given. Daughter said it is a powerless feeling and that no one hears you when your pain is not controlled and you are labeled drug seeking. We were all a little off balance this morning. Cedar [/QUOTE]
