Pain Management
Has anyone been on palexia? I am on it at present but not getting any relief, I wondered if it is just me as the pain is driving me nutty, or should I say nuttier than usual and of course it's Boxing...

I'm the same with endone as @Sister - it makes me throw up.
The crackdown started earlier this year (or late last year) ... When Keith broke his rib (when I was having my Rads), the emergency Dr gave him a 3 day script for Endone, then nothing - suggested he use panadol (which was never going to 'cut it'!) He was in excruciating pain, needing 2 more ambo callouts ..... Eventually, a Dr at Laurieton gave him the equivalent of Panadeine Forte (ALSO now on the 'endangered list' because of the codeine component!)

Getting the script was like pulling teeth! He was in such obvious pain! But there are so many people who are Doctor Shopping, trying to get them to make 'hooch/morphine equivalent' ..... it has made it virtually impossible for 'regular people' to get the correct medication for genuine ailments & pain!
Lyrics is heading down the same path, right now, as one of the most prescribed pain killers out there & there have been quite a few deaths from overdosing on it in Australia as well :( So take care with that one too!!
