Don't avoid opiods

I have dealt with a slew of addicts in my life, both parents, grandparents, most aunts and uncles all addicts.

So my whole existence, im 48 now, i have denied opioids and any addictive substances except for alcohol once or twice a year at, you guessed it, family parties.

I have helped more than one person kick an addiction, and ive seen the worst of it.

Well the pain in my lower body is so bad i gave in and today is the first day in over 2 years where I'm 100% pain free and can move around my house almost like i used to before the ms.

Ive been prescribed oxycodone 5mg 3x a day and it has changed my life from being the sad lump in the backroom, to feeling complete and human again.

I had such a fear of opiods that i think i just missed out on the most of my last three years of life.

Listen to your Doctors and don't be afraid to express how fucking painful this disease can be.

That's all I have.

Keep living, none of us are alone.
