Hey, thanks for the kind words. I can only hope that they find the right meds for you and life becomes bearable.
Are you going to use nitrogen?
Yea, I've been trying to do it for about 6 months or so. It theory most of them are supportive but when it comes to actual act, they freak out and the support goes out of the window. So I've given up because I don't want to put my method in danger or wake up in a psych ward.
Yeah, that's the plan. I've been told it's fairly easy to acquire it here in Australia, of course i'm not 100% sure of that because I haven't looked into that myself yet.
24/7 here too. Seven major spine surgeries. World-class spine surgeons. Dozens of other outpatient surgeries including stimulators and intrathecal pumps. Twenty years of hard work leaving no stone unturned. Intractable chronic pain is a condition that is way beyond the capacity of modern medicine to handle.
1st off WELCOME to Sanctioned Suicide our new global family member! It is wonderful having you here with everyone! The global family is the finest on Earth as everyone here is just so loving, caring with so much understanding, empathy, kindness and support that it is awesome! Again, WELCOME!! 2nd) My heart and soul broke in a trillion pieces for you when i read your post. I have had 24/7 chronic pain since 04.10.2015, day of car crash and it consumes me. I have Hydromorphone and spinal shots 4 times a year to help. I can NOT have a pain pump because of the "opioid crisis" here in the U.S. Ya, right, like one can not get the stuff on the streets, just not through a legal channel like a medical clinic. I too was told that "modern medicine" does not have the tools or means to fix me at all, it is way beyond what anyone can do. I 100% send you all my love, lots of hugs and sunshine and SUPPORT, as WE are in this together. Walter
Thank you for the warm welcome. It's very much appreciated. Sorry about your accident and chronic pain. I'm in California and I'm aware of how dire things have gotten in other states. I used to get fair relief from opioids. Now, after decades of use, it's virtually nothing...despite taking large doses...and despite having a reasonable PM doc that has routinely cycled me through differing pain meds in an attempt to address tolerance. I've been doing it long enough to know that this approach has ran its course. But that's true for me only in terms of my particular physiology and condition. I hope you're getting all the care you're entitled to. I'm grateful to have had access to top-notch care. We're only 200 years out from the germ theory of disease. That modern medicine is still in its in fancy and bumbling around badly with certain afflictions shouldn't strike anyone as odd. The bigger tragedy is that the sheen of modern medicine leaves people with the impression that its more capable than what it really is.
HI! I 100% agree with your last sentence, as too many people think that "modern" medicine can do anything and everything. I am in Minnesota and boy has the Fed and the state clamped down and made it VERY hard to get opioids. I am on Hydromorphone right now. I hope that you are doing good and sending you lots of hugs and support. Hey, at least here in Minnesota it is almost summer for 3 months! YA! Walter
That's so kind of you, Walter. It's very much appreciated! Hope your summer months go well. I'm in the Central Valley. You learn to hate summer when it's well over 100 for weeks on end and barely below 100 at night. Dry heat notwithstanding, it sucks ass. Beach is two hours away. But I'm incapable of travel. Be well, friend.
Trying to find love, working toward a good career, travelling, raising a kid, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Gotcha. That's a lot. I do wish you well in such attempts.
