My grandma is 82, at the end of her life. She’s had osteoarthritis for the last 15 years, been taking pain pills. Both hips replaced. At this point, she is reserved from her bed to a chair and back to bed. Her pain doctor said her hydrocodone is unavailable. So my 82-year old grandmother, frail and thin, is supposed to just go through withdrawal? It’s disgusting.
Grandma needs to smoke a joint😮 yup it's true it will help i shit you not. So many things it can help with. I'm not joking you. Try it out. Way better and all natural weed.
Suboxone also if she can't get her meds will help but yes she will have to be in withdrawal for a full 24hrs before it can be used jus so u know if u do it before it could cause super withdrawal which is brutal I've been through it so i know what's what. But the weed will do wonders. I highly suggest in trying it. Don't judge jus try it. I'm not joking. This is medicine at this point. It is stronger than you had in your time I'm sure of that. Anyway cheers to ya.😊
Methadone!
now i understand why people turn to the street for Heroin....can't blame them and cheaper I bet.....I'm so tempted but scared to try it....but i have bone on bone on every joint and other issues, struggling to get by getting my medication for just one pill a day to take the edge off....ridiculous
It's funny when that thought hits you like a ton of bricks. I still remember when it hit me. 😮 wish i could go back in time and change that 1 little thing
It's not heroin you would think your buying anyway. Those days are long gone. It's all fake junk chemicals now. Honestly think there isn't any heroin in any of the supply. It's mostly crushed up pills of who knows what now. N that zylezine stuff is straight up turning you into a walking zombie. U wanna be a walking zombie. I don't think so. Stay away. Stay far away my friend. Nothing but trouble. Been there done that. Jus keep your butt planted at your nice cozy home. Don't dare take that travel, you will be sorry you did. Cheers to ya. Hope u make it through
The "unknown" is due to the fact that we were getting much from China and haven't been lately.
Hydrocodone comes from India. Don’t understand the supply chain issues with them! People should be told the truth but that will never happen!
The truth is young white kids were overdosing at alarming rates this is who caused all of this 😡😡
The DEA asked manufacturers to make less over the last couple years what did they expect to happen.i read about it then they act like they don't know why it is happening. 😢
PLEASE!!! Help us! Every month is a very stressful battle trying to get the medications I need!
We’re going through the same thing here in Kentucky! This will KILL us if nothing else will!
Weed is your helper here
Ive been on the same pain meds since 2011 and legally disabled. My meds been on backorder for 13 months out of 16 months now. NObody tells us "why" this is happening. We are just left to scramble and figure out wtf to do to 1) keep from going thru withdrawal hell on top of 2) our pain going beyond human comprehension. Its sadistic.
I've been in pain management for 15 years and this week. They told me they don't have no more and don't know when they'll ever get it. And I have been on hydromorphone which is delighted and morphine. The max you can take and through pain management for 15 years. My Doctor doesn't know what to do neither do I now I'm going to go in to withdrawals and a lot of other stuff along with the 2nd day with no pain, meds and I am just laying here and serve, serve serious pain and can't get relief.
I have to do without my meds cannot afford them even with Medicare have to do some but others just cannot get them
OK how about growing poppy have your own opium stash we all grew pot back in the day. If they can't supply us we need to take action. I can't deal with this pain.
There’s no pain medication in Robeson County
Why can we not get from Canada
Yep in Louisiana too Mexican have it
Im getting acupuncture it has helped, its something
Another great reason for Marijuana to be legal.
Mary's Medicinial patches . Rec/ Med dispensaries in Denver
Weed doesn't do anything for severe chronic pain
@RedLineShortFilms I beg to differ.
You can beg all you want... it doesn't help everyone and if it helps you great news but don't try to pretend you can feel another's suffering etc... it's still illegal on the federal level as well as most states and no it doesn't help in fact in a large percentage of people it is paradoxical @@pattyann8709
@@RedLineShortFilmsexactly..never helped me or several people I know with severe pain..just made me hungry and in pain
Then give them marijuana, or ecstasy. I've been on Dr prescribed painkillers for years. This is scary, & it's still happening. Nothing worse than living with chronic pain & then have withdrawal symptoms.
THIS IS WHY SOOOO MANY PEOPLE ARE ON STREET DRUGS!
I hope this helps someone here. Ummm have y'all tried good ole weed? It will help allot to get you through withdrawals. Won't take away the pain but it will help you forget about the pain😂. But really this stuff does work wonders. One day you will wake up and feel good.
