No, I find I have to stay ahead of the pain as I often can't kill it if I let too much time go past...Drs. have told me this is the way to go as well!

I don't let it get outta control. If I let my meds slide it's harder for me to get pain back under control

No. I have to take them regularly and on time. To stay ahead and on top of the regular pain. I also have special meds I take for flare ups though, and then the next step is the hospital.

I dare not wait to take pain meds until the pain is unbearable. When it starts to interfere with my day, I take it. And I don't take it any more than it is prescribed.
