Just came from my pain clinic appointment. I have to go monthly now, instead of quaterly with just picking up scripts the other months. So that costs me 4x more in co-pays and I only have disability with Medicare. My meds are considered moderate to low dose, same dosgae for years, that help me a little bit. I feel…

I have one of the most painful conditions known (destroyed sheath over auditory nerves) which means that even moderate noise feels as though I am being punched in the face. For three years, I felt as though someone had stuck an electric iron in my head 24/7. Fourteen years, later, and ‘only’ noise provokes this. But…
I got Percocet when mine were removed when I was a teen. I used all of them because I had dry sockets. Incredibly painful. It was just enough to keep me functioning at school.
Good for you? I had a wisdom tooth out a week and a half ago and went back to the doctor after five days because the pain was incredible and I’d gone through the oxy script already. He said it looked fine and gave me another 15 pills, which tided me over until a couple of days ago. Luckily the pain subsided to…
I broke my hand this weekend and the urgent care didn’t give me anything other than a shot of toradol. Nothing to take home. The orthopedic doctor assumed they didn’t give me anything because they thought I was seeking. I told him they just didn’t offer me anything and the last time I took opioids was only for a…
i have kidney stones, and the number of hoops i had to jump through WHILE PASSING A KIDNEY STONE in order to get in to the ER, get an IV of painkillers, and then get a script so i could go home was fucking nuts.
I have a sibling with severe spine and nerve damage after a car accident years ago. Opiates are one of the few things that work for her. I understand the need for better protocols around prescribing opiates, but watching how my disabled sister has to cross ever higher hurdles to get much needed medication is making me…
Such an important point- opioids are a tool, and like any tool can be used properly or improperly. There are a huge number of chronic pain sufferers in the community who need these drugs to survive.
And, with this, those of us with extremely painful chronic conditions will be told to...do yoga? Learn to think our way out of the problem? Just go ahead and kill ourselves because our condition is degenerative and we will never get better and now the thing that slightly takes the edge off has been taken away due to…
“If I had a monthly hormonal cycle that could cause me pain and affect my mood drastically, I’d want a doctor’s opinion on exactly how much and of what I should be taking before I mess with it. Maybe I’m wrong, but I figured the medical side of it was actually, legitimately more complex given that every woman’s…
It’s called “being a psychopath” and a lot of people in the Trump administration seem to have it.
He absolutely deserved to be fired for what he did to Clinton. But let’s not kid ourselves that he was fired for that reason. He was fired because Trump is afraid that Comey is on to something. This is beyond Watergate levels of corruption. We need a special independent prosecutor to oversee that investigation. …
I have no love for Comey but trump firing the head of the FBI while being investigated by the FBI is very troubling. I believe the last president who did this was Nixon so...
Can we collectively make a deal right now that this is peak Kendall Jenner? We all need to agree or it won’t work.
A girl who was seemingly conceived, incubated, hatched, trained, conditioned and indoctrinated to be an object of sexual desire as the sole purpose of her existence and her only contribution to society is saying that she doesn’t get to be objectified enough? Do I have the right read on this one?
I watched Snow White and the Huntsman for KStew too! Would’ve been much improved if they’d made Hemsworth the prince-in-distress and Stewart the stoic knight.
i’ve watched an inexplicable amount of terrible lesbian(-ish) films because of attractive women. my crush on eva green knows no bounds, so I watched her in cracks (what even was this movie) and franklyn (seriously, what even) and perfect sense (ewan mcgregor helped shore this one up!) until I realized I really needed…
Red Eye because of Cillian Murphy. He’s trapped so many women in bad movie hell!
Sounds like something they'd play over an indie-film trailer during the emotional turning point.
