@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, I agree! My first pain specialist told me that people who are in pain do not become addicted. Addicts are those not in pain who use the meds to get high.

I wish this would be explained to every daft doctor out there who is terrified of his own shadow!

I've taken Vicodin but now take Narco. Dr just upped my Fentanyl Patch from 25 mcg, to 37 mcg, and today received my Fentanyl 50 mcg patches. I was on that strength before the doctors were told they were killing us. So glad I'm going back to the 50' s as I can function almost normally on that dose. I also buy Lidocaine 5% patches. Have to pay for it myself. Very expensive but worth it. I have tried Hemp oil, CBD and THC. I thought the CBD was only used orally but yesterday I rubbed it into my skin and it worked to take the pain away and it hasn't come back in that spot. Anyone else do this? Plus I use OTC items like rubs, pain patches etc. I'm a Kaiser patient and my new Dr seems to really want me to be out of pain. I hope he stays around for a long time.

Amen I agree we don't get. Addicted to pain medcine because we need it but the government control it like they are drs I also hve fibromyalgia I just take lyirca but it not strong enough it wears off too fast

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member I have no problem getting it. Of course it is the generic but nothing has been said and I just got a new bottle yesterday. It might be that I am not on any higher tieted narcotics I don't know, since they now classify tramadol and soma as the lowest tier of them. Who knows with the stupid govt.

Nothing touches my pain. I’ve tried Lyrica, Tramadol, Vicodin, Tylenol 3 and medical marijuana. Still have just as much pain with no relief. It’s tiring
