What is the matter with all of us in chronic pain? Can't you just acept that you are always going to be in pain?

I say NO WAY. I find my self seeking meds because my doctor while gives me meds he never gives me enough. So I am playing the call the nurse game (hoping not to Best if kept off the board her off) I then feel guilty and think that i am loosing control of my meds. wrong it is not that, I am becoming tolerant. yuk.

Too bad. If i want pain relief so that i can work play enjoy my kids and enjoy my s/o. i have to jump through the hoops to get what I need.

what about OP's I wish I could but can't. not enough money. besides with insurance i get 60 vicoprofen for $8.00. as opposed to $180.00 an mark up of 200%.

so the moral I learn to live with the risk of being labled a 'drug seeker'. if I'm labled a whiner or what ever because that is what we are all doing. the way that lable is applied is up to the beholder. If I get the relief I need then i'll live with what ever it takes.
