Outlaw: we at least agree on part of it. If there were another way, I think it would have been purposed. You & I both know these dangerous drugs. But lets not BS EACH OTHER here... The drugs you are on if abused, WILL STOP YOUR HEART when you go to sleep. Happens all the time my friend... knew someone that DIED two weeks ago that took a many oxys... a woman who was 33 & worked everyday & lived w/ pain like you. She was a good person who went to sleep & NEVER GOT UP. I have said this before, the doctors do not want to be responsible for your addiction & possible over dose! Would you??? The fact you have to piss in a cup to get high powered opiate-derived drugs is not unreasonable... you do have a freedom of choice. It is not about you & having to piss in a cup... it is about a physician's PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for you NOT DIEING from their efforts to help you with pain. Face it: you know your physically addicted, they know you are addicted, pain stops all rational judgement & we live in a sue-happy world & you COULD NOT pay me to be responsible for addicts who take extremely DANGEROUS opiates like Methadone, Morphine. Oxycontin, etc etc.... MUCH LESS anyone who is getting funded by TAX PAYERS to do it!!! YOU CALL THAT FREEDOM?????? I CALL IT BONDAGE!!!!!!!
