Spinal Cord Stimulator

Doug, the best I can tell you is I have been taking these Meds for years, it started with mild and as time went by they got stronger and stronger, the mild ones were easy to stop, but then I was put on 100 micrograms of Fentynol every three days for almost three years with other drugs, when I came off that the withdrawal was freaking insane, I did it by myself at home, I swear it took almost to weeks and I think I got maybe 10 hours sleep in that time, I was Addicted but don't let that word bother you or let people shame you, I was addicted to having LESS PAIN which some self righteous people don't want to understand. It was hard but I reasoned that, I am a big boy, I can handle this and I did. Than I was put on the 100 mg Morphine twice a day with 20 mg oxy's as needed with other meds mixed in too. I'm going through the same withdrawal as before but what the hell I've done it before and lived so lets have some fun again, right? Now I have the Pain stimulater and Holy **** I can't believe it, I feel awesome. As soon as this withdrawal is past I'm sure I'll feel even better! Now I really can't answer about crossing that line as it is different for most folks. What I want you to understand is, you are taking what ever Medications to help you get on with your life don't let some Assholes tell you taking drugs is bad, You, me and many others need help with pain that most people can't even imagine and some of us get addicted, you have got to be strong, the withdrawal won't kill you, it sucks really bad but you will be fine, be strong, being on all them Meds SUCKS. My best to you. From reading your posts I can tell your a good guy, you'll be fine.
