When you have to start using the Walgreens pain meds
“C’Mon!!!”
New Year New Thoughts Written 01/02/2024
It is wild to look back at how much pain medication I genuinely needed two years ago. Even with the oxycodone, fentanyl patches, liquid lidocaine, ibuprofen, Tylenol…to name a few…I was still in so much pain I couldn’t even eat most days toward the end. Posts like these are exactly why I am creating this blog and revisiting my old posts. Today, I am frustrated that I need two gabapentin pills three times a day. It feels excessive, and annoying, and unnecessary. Yet, every time I try to taper off, my pain rears its head (I’m intentionally eliminating the word “ugly” here as there is no need to categorize my pain as something bad, rather it just is). Looking back at this now – at how far I’ve come – really makes me appreciate how little I need each day to live a nearly pain-free life 🙂
a small hope
