[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 155941, member: 393"] [COLOR=Navy][B][FONT=Century Gothic]Heather, I believe yesterday was the day I had to choose life over pain; it just wasn't worth it to pass up on a viable medication. toto, pity is something I have little time for though I indulge on a semi regular basis of late. My bird sanctuary, my inability to sit long enough at my kitchen island to watch them & indulge in my nature journal is part of what pushed me to take pain medications yesterday. I've been missing too much of life of late. Marg, sweetie, I'd be worried if you wrote a short response! :bigsmile: I've taken note of all that you wrote & in fact will be copying your response to my computer. I know the next step will be a pain management clinic. I've never medicated myself to the point of absolute no feeling ~ that's just not me. Withdrawl from these medications cannot be any worse than coming off prednisone though I could be wrong. I have another 2-3 months to be completely off that. These pain medications are federally regulated as well; our doctors are hounded about prescribing pain medications rather than allowing their patients quality of life. It's depressing to think that my doctor has to explain the refills needed. I can't imagine what oncologists & doctors of other terminally ill patients have to go through. Thank you, ladies ~ I feel better. I'm not going to let the pain get away from me again. It's simply not worth it. [/FONT][/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
