You know I'm not very good at this but thought I would try. The opioids addiction it is a crisis in one of two ways.
1 Opioids are a dangerous pain medicine and should be treated as you would a loaded gun. Which I do since I do take them responsibly. My wife is a nurse so I never touch the bottle they are in she sets my meds up a week at a time. They keep passing laws to make them harder for people to get. I now instead of driving 8 miles to get my meds prescription from my family dr who has taken care of them for yrs. I have to drive over 70 miles to go to a pain clinic. So what will I do when I don't have access. The reason I have to take them is I have had 8 back surgeries for spinal fusion , a pouch forming on my spine and then after a accident on the job to place rods in screws in my back. Which caused me to have to give my career of 23 yrs one I truly enjoyed. I have tried shots , physical therapy and also other meds and they are the only ones that help.
These laws only hurt those who need them. People who are like me. I can't legally drive to get them but now I have to miss doses to go out to another town where the pain clinic is at. I do feel for the families of people who abuse them. You see if I can't control my pain I can't get out of bed. I know others that are the same way. I would really give my right leg up to not have to take them.
