This blog is about the trials and tribulations of being a young woman with chronic pain and illnesses. I will talk about not only things going on now, but things that have happened in the past, the constant thoughts I have because of being a pain patient, and the stresses of living life day to day like this. My hope is that it will help other pain patients see they aren't alone, especially those who are in their early to mid twenties like me.

Been so busy lately. I have just about everything packed up and done. And today we move to our new apartment. I can't wait to be in there, done with all the unpacking, and just living. We just need to get through the moving part of it all. I can't wait to see the cats' reactions to the new place. They'll have so much room to romp and such huge windows to look out of. They'll be in heaven. lol.

The long term usage of opiates like OxyContin or Vicodin can lead to a physical dependency on the drugs without which people don’t feel normal and they want the drug at any cost. The drugs act as nerve receptors and affect the thinking ability and the behavior to a very high extent. Apart from these there are many physical side effects which are very harmful for the patients. The chronic pain of the patients lead to the overdose of the drugs and people don’t even realize when it leads to addiction. In case of any accidents and other problems when the pain is very severe people are prescribed pain relievers which if not taken properly can lead to addiction. The doctor prescribes the medicines for a certain period but people continue to take the medicine even after the dosage finishes and this is the major sign of the addiction. There are many other signs which are when people travel long distances to purchase the medicines, they ask the doctor to give them more, they carry more than one prescription with them, complain the doctor for not giving the medicine properly and when they stay away from the family members and prefer staying alone then it means that they are being addicted to drugs.
ReplyDeleteHow did that have anything to do with this post?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jud, but I already knew all of that, and I'm definitely not taking any pills that are addictive (well, one, but I have never showed any signs of dependency problems).
ReplyDeleteThough I don't see how this pertains to moving.
