Re: THESE DRUGS DO NOT AND CANNOT MAKE US HIGH

[Guest guest]

Hello Phil

Your right that pain meds do not make us high. I realize the terms used

to describe long term use of opiates is a very sensitive issue for many. So I

think that it is best to leave the subject as is. You are right that using

certain descriptions or meanings can be taken out of context by people who are

ignorant as to the important part these drugs play in the day to day function of

people with chronic pain.

But these type of people will always be there because they have no idea

as to what we have to go through just to make it through the day.

Be Well...

I happen to enjoy reading all that Phil has to say. He keeps me

very informed and i've saved many of his posts to refer to later.

I like the way he gives us real interpretations of the terms used by Drs

and friends. The explanation of the terms makes it a lot clearer in my

mind, and better to give a defence to anyone that challenges the facts.

Yes they will. Which isn't a problem to me either. I don't want to

know what Phil says just for them. I want to know for my own benefit. My

own education. Which is what this list is all about to me.
