I am so sorry Ken... You are jumping through some hoops... We are talking about the synthetic version of Heroin... doctors, pharmacists, pain clinic's, etc.... they have their butts on the line over this. These drugs are a world-wide problem/epidemic. Average folks do not know how addictive & how much opiate narc's are screwing up people these days. Guys like you have to really bend over to get them. These pain clinic's need to accept they are helping you mange pain and addiction at the same time... so many of them do not really accept that. So your addicted.... denial on their part will not change your needs. Addictions are progressive... they need to be managed properly so you wake up the next day. We all want to see you wake up the next Ken!! I wish you did not have to go through this buddy. Hang in there!
