My father was always givng me some kind of nasty Chinese concoctions and Bleh! they tatsed awful. Like he hands me this big huge gallon jar of some black stuff and says, "Here. This is (half-a-dozen unnammeable herbs) mixed with ground upo sea-turtles and some Licoriche. Yak! I ahtes the taste of ground up sea turtles and I hate lichorice. LOL. It did help with mu problem though. Shrug. Your mother aparently means well. Maybe try to take it with a stoich attitude. I don't know. Been there though. :)
When I am in a 10, hell, I feel like I would do about anythin to get some releef. Yep. Just about damn near anything. I do have my limits which I will not go beyond, but that ain't got anything to do with drugs in particlar.
Having terrible chronic pain is especially difficult because otherswho have never experinced that kind of thing cannot unerstand it. And they dont understand that, sometimes, the drugs are all that keeps a personm from going absoutely insane.
It is troo bad that folks madeyou feel this way. Perhaps during lesser headaches it makes much sense to try and endur without tsking medicstin. Dammiyt, getting a bit lost here. But I hope you know what I am sayiong.
I would much rather take a shot or pop a pill than take my own life. I would much rahjer others take some meds than do that to. Shrug it off, dude. Wanting to be pain free is nothin wrong my man.
Hang in Bro!
