Before I started Pain Management, I would drink 2 glasses of wine/night to help w/pain and sleep. It's a very good thing I can hardly drink w/o becoming sleepy (and this was before taking any pain medication).
Before the pain meds I must admit I felt like offing myself sometimes because the pain was so bad~ thank God the meds help me greatly tho I am scared of what a withdrawl will be like if and when the day ever comes I can stop taking Methadone~ I'm sure I'll be on Neurontin forever or something like it for peripheral neuropathies from past surgical trauma...
I surely can relate to what you've stated above Dave...
