Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I'm still visiting doctors because of a sore that's "weeping" down my leg.

Not too long ago newer opioids, like Hydrocodone, were marketed by the manufacturers as nonaddictive. They were dead (no pun intended) wrong.<br />And this is a problem that can affect anyone, not just the much-maligned inner city. After 40+ years of being a nurse, I have major structural issues with my back. My drugs of choice: the demonized aspirin (enteric coated) or ibuprofen (one or two tablets once a day). Now that I'm retired, I spent a lot of time sitting at the computer to write, but luckily I have a dopey dog that must be walked and that also helps.<br />In many ways medicine has advanced but it hasn't advanced enough to manage pain and educate professionals and patients.<br />Again - you've got a very smart husband.<br />MitziMitzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429148644855477143noreply@blogger.com
