Hi all I am new here and I have a slew of medical issues and so i am in constant pain. I have been on so many treatments it makes me sick to even think about. I am also a recovering alcoholic. My issue is this....I feel so uncomfortable taking my pain meds cause i feel like an addict. And then I wonder if I really am cause sometimes I do take more but I mark that up to the meds not really working for me and still feeling a lot of pain or is it that my mind is just messing with me and I am falling more and more into the hole of addiction. I know how bad addiction feels and can get and I really stuggle with this. My docs work against me (so it feels, but perhaps its best that they do) when it comes to me saying that these meds are not working. I end up having to take more and then running out early. Is this just me being an addict or is this me not being treated properly? I know that none of you can give me medical advice but this is what I struggle with on a daily basis. I freaking hate it.:wtf2
Well thanks for reading to any and all who do.
God Bless.
