fair warning guys im loaded on pain meds from a back fusion.. and just as i recall when i was addicted to opioids many many decades ago, that pain relief can come with an unholy cost. glad i (just barely) beat it then. hope to beat it again and be off the opioids in a few more days.
so who knows what degen thoughts may leak out into any post i may or may not make in the next few days.
Don't give up man, you will be healthy once again and you won't be needing those opioids again for a long time. I know that sometimes we have to take those opioids to relieve the pain, but still we can hope to recover from the pain over time and gradually reduce the intake of such drugs. I wish that you soon get better and continue posting like old days. I believe that you will soon recover from that condition. My best wishes for you!
