That sucks, don't blame anyone in pain for wanting to take opioids. If people want to abuse them for fun and get addicted that's on them but it has led doctors to not want to give them to people that actually need them.

I don't. But i also know what long-term opiod-use (not even abuse) does to a mind.

First-hand knowledge.

yes but what does long term chronic pain with no relief do to a mind? Far worse.

Ethical considerations never were my strong suit. Point taken.

I just do what i do. And observe. And either do or don't give a fuck.

I am not into medicine or pharmacy. Or lets say only partly. And that is exactly where i belong.

the ideal situation is of course to be perfectly healthy, that becomes less likely especially as we age of course. We become a medical expert real quick when we get some sort of medical issue and go to a doctor who then blows you off. They're trained in medical school to assume everything is psychosomatic unless you keep coming back like 5 times. So then you have to do your own research, which of course is a dirty word these days. And what you find is horrifying.

I get your point.

See (since i'm also an Asperger's) : For me it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baclofen. They cut my access to this 1cent pill long ago.

But i got a lab. So you actually know what happened.

I totally can feel this. Anything above that: I take my fifth amendment rights.
