When she was on maternity leave her substitute tested me each month, three months in a row. I am allergic to almost every non-narcotic pain reliever, Lyric being a partial exception. My hands swell at higher doses, so they cut me back.

The crap you have to put up with for chronic pain relief is ridiculous! Pill heads don't seem to have a problem finding a pill Doctor, but the crack down means a lot of people have to hurt a lot more. My elderly mother and my father-in-law both had surgery and were given only Tramodol, a mild pain reliever. They both really suffered.

Texas government has their heads so far up law enforcement's ass (they vote) we will be the last state to approve even medical marijuana.
