Hello, I was trying to sign in as a new user, but it says my e-mail address is already in the system? How can that be? I have had this e-mail for years! WHY DO YOU WAIT TILL THE END TO SAY YOU WANT MONEY???????? I bring in $1,500.00 a month on disability, I won t pay NOTICE: I am 63 years old and have had spine problems all my life. I moved to Tn. from Austin Texas because it was too expensive for me. I have seen a wonderful Doctor who is a pain management Doctor. As I was moving boxes I moved my disc 4 in and disc 5 back. The pain was so unbearable I had to go to the emergency room 4 times waiting for my Doctors appointment. Sciatica.... Now, I have gotten a shot into the disc problem area and I feel great. I prayed and prayed about this and decided I wanted off all pain meds. 13 years worth. The sweating, the tiredness, and so much other stuff kept me from really living. It has now been two weeks and I am still going through the sweats and I feel so tired I don t feel I can even walk, much less take care of my house. How much longer do I have to suffer through this?? Is there anything that can help me??? I have even thought forcing myself to walk only 15 minutes a day to try to get my energy back. I do not want to EVER go on these meds again. Can this ever be over??? I wanted to try to put my story on here to try to help others, but it will not except my e-mail address. I pray for all of the people in the world that are going through what I have gone through. The depression is over taking me. I cry and cry... I pray and pray... But will it EVER be over??? Then I get so scarred that when this shot wears off and that sciatica nerve starts hurting again, I really do not know if I can live through that again. I screamed, cryed, begged God to help me, but even when I went to the emergency room they gave me a shot and no meds? I have since found out there is a great drug problem here and all Doctors are suspicious. In Austin I had my family Doctor for 20 years and my pain management Doctor for 13 years. By the last 3 years I was only on suboxone 2 mg strip that I cut into 3 pieces. I really don t get why this continues to be so hard. If I can give ANY advice DON T get on pain meds. I know my sciatica nerve pain was the worst I have ever felt. IIf it had not been for God I would have killed myself, but my daughter had to listen to me cry for a month and a half before I could get into the Doctor. Please Doctors when you put someone on these meds explain ALL THE SIDE AFFECTS and the problems that go with them. I know sometimes you have NO choice, but get a good pain Doctor who can help you. God Bless all who suffer with this problem. I pray for all of our youth who have NO idea what they are getting into. PARENTS PLEASE talk to your children, your teens, your college students. Pull up all the side effects and problems getting off of this things and maybe, just maybe you can save their life. Now, I have seen on 60 minutes that the pain pills on the streets are so expensive the kids are getting into the terrible white powder the big H... They showed brain damaged kids that had overdosed, but survived if you want to call it that. This one kid was a big football star. His two best friends dies of overdoses... Now, this poor guys Mom has to wipe his mouth just like he is a baby, and he can barely talk. Is this our future for our kids??? Our kids grow up way too fast and think they know EVERYTHING, but are so very wrong. Sorry I got so carried away, but I am so sad and sick of all t
