In reply to the discussion: Ex-pharma chief charged with flooding Appalachian towns with opioids [View all]KY_EnviroGuy
(14,483 posts)29. Thanks and I'm glad you got my point.
I have a weird system chemistry and most any pain med lays me out mentally but do little to help with pain. The horse pill 800mg Ibuprofen like dentists pass our do about as good as any for me.
I was thinking (space age) of some sort of brain wave sensor that could be attached to a person's head or maybe even implanted to detect true pain, but I'm a dreamer, LOL.
I suspect that considering the massive lawsuits against some drug companies right now, perhaps they will refocus on designing a pain drug that is not so addictive. I think one or more companies in Europe are working in that direction now.
