CPC (Chronic Pain Club)

[bigdaddyc9]

Hanging by a thread nattygurl but hanging none the less.Thanks for asking.I am a tad down as apparently activism is lacking.I have e-mailed and called my reps every week for 3 years.I am a frequent visitor on a local newspapers website and frequently attacked personally by trolls.So I make a post here asking for backup and get my ass reamed.No thanks to that.I'm leaning away from advocacy and ready to disappear underground once again.Fun times underground..not!

16mg to me is not much. I have 4mg tabs I take 4 a day or as needed. The Oxy 40mg is extended release these are 3x more expensive then Diludid. I can get anything I want but need to keep the cost down.

Speaking of expensive, the price of the Gleevec I am taking is somewhere around $156, depending on the exchange rate of the dollar. I'm lucky enough to have insurance coverage.

Mary was saying just a couple of days ago how she live in fear of the cops so she would never take the risk to grow her own meds. I found myself in a place that I would have never dreamed of when I was on narcotic's. I want to have friends over for dinner. When I spent my time nodding from the Morphine I didn't have friends. Spent the days closed up fighting off the felling of wanting to cut my own wrest. But one of the side effect of smoking has been the opening of my eyes to myself. I begun to address what I hated about my of my life. I've begun to change those thing and face my fears. The group of friends doesn't know any of this. It's adult group they throw dinner party once a month share some drinks and laughs. All they know is I party and confuse to being a Medical Marijuana poster child. I smoke my herbs with them and it knocks them flat. It's so funny to watch but I never tell them anything about were it comes from. Or I'll tell them it comes from herbwarts. Because I'm far to scared to tell the I grow it. Plus once you enter the door of our home the smell of it knocks you down. I have to much to lose if it gets out. Myself I would be looking at thirty years lose of everything my family owns. However I just couldn't remain stung out on those chemical any more. I could no long stand that nightmare it was going to kill me. But I could never let my friends walk into a possible bust. I truly enjoy there friendship I just can't risk there freedom for my choose. You right Mary it is so much to risk.

Yes, in the Land of the Free, the Justice system is often stupid,

then again, in the Land of the Oppressed, Justice is often fatal.

But it doesn't make the Justice System of the Free any more better, or justified.

what is Gleevec buzz?

an expensive medication developed in 2002 to combat chronic myelogenous leukemia. I almost feel guilty as the taxpayer is the one who takes it on the chin. Big Pharma has us by the balls

don't know where you are DR, but it's nice being close to the ocean...it provides air conditioning, and clean crisp air to breathe.

A major pain filled day ahead.It is very windy and chilly and it is raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock.My hottub is drained and waiting to be cleaned.Its gonna have to wait a bit longer as shoulder pain is getting the best of me today.Isn't it funny how the weather dictates what kind of pain you'll be in that day.I hate powerful low pressure.It is what is happening today.I am supposed to be getting some White Russian and Sour Diesel today from a friend who should be stopping by anytime now.I hope he makes it as this Lemon Kush makes me want to run around the block.White Russian if grown out a few days extra usualy is the "Grail" for me.Lets hope he makes it.The best part is I and the Mrs. will be sleeping in clean sheets/pillow cases/Blankets tonight.I added an extra shot of Apple Mango Tango softner and 2 extra dryer sheets to get max smell of Apple Mango Tango Gain.I also whipped up a batch of chocochip cookies to take to My Moms to fatten her up for next chemo round.Come on white russian,I need saving today aaarrggghhh!

I don't really know where to start here.

While I am not a pain patient myself, I am helping out some people with chronic pain issues. My goal is to provide as much relief and good advice as i can in these situations and to that end I was wondering if I could join this group.

Reading your stories really emphasized the importance of what can be done to help and all the bravery i have read about here hits me deep inside.

Blessings to All

SB, I live in close to the city of downtown boston but my mom & 2 sisters own homes on private beaches in Rhode Island and I enjoy walking down in Newport RI were theirs a boardwalk right to the pier and they have small little sub shops, pizza parlors, seafood places with chairs & tables outside by the ocean and you sit and eat and the night time comes alive same with the city of Boston.

I enjoy going to my moms and just sitting with my eye's closed hearing the powerful waves hit the rocks and it just relaxes me and SB your 1000% correct the fresh ocean air is simply enjoyable.

 

[bigdaddyc9]

mmm, ^ that sounds so nice! I feel more relaxed just thinking about it. And I bet the people watching is simply fabulous there too, lol.
Enjoy it!!

Herbwarts: Yea, the gulf catastrophe is almost too much to think about.
I really feel for those on the 'Gulf of BP'...the poor little animals. Gurrr.

3rdEye: Welcome!

Buckeye: I hope that you are feeling alright today!! Hang in there my friend!!!

BigDaddy: I am soo glad to hear that you got medicine!!! What a great friend! Enjoy!!

It makes me so angry hearing everyone's fears Re: being 'outlaw med users'!!
I know it made it a lot harder for me to focus on getting any better, achieving some kind of "wellness", with all of the stress surrounding procuring meds, (much less med quality), and the constant terror that goes along w/ "being in possession of 'contraband'." ...That's not to mention trying to keep a couple plants!!
That so many sick people are still living in fear and with health-complicating-stress, all b/c of a few laws that most of us know are outdated; really is enraging!
But, from here, it really feels like we're getting closer to some sort of nationwide 'med law'.
Try to keep the faith friends!!


I hope this finds you all feeling alright today and still hanging in there!!
Happy Medicating!

It's really nice, The ocean drive is great we love to park and picnic at dinner time with some wine, blanket, italian bread, cheese and a candle & grapes makes a very romantic night, after 30 years me and my wife have what's called * date night * every friday night we go on a date for dinner or a picnic and watch the sun go down by the ocan, it keeps the marriage alive

 

[herbwarts]

Wow that a beautiful place DR
