Simone,
I, to take narcotics everyday. Usually about 6-8 Percocet, 2 Demerol
and 2 Morphine (Diludid) for pain. I find it so unbarable sometimes I'd
just like to sleep my life away. But I know I need to be more positive
and start thinking that I can beat this. I know its hard to think cause
we dont have a cure yet, but I mean what else but hope do I have, I've
already had a total and complete hyst. So I have no body parts left and
where the endo is now, we think it might be on my bladder since I've had
a bladder infection for close to 5 months now. Anyways some people
might think I'm a drug addict for taking so much med's but I usually
take the Percocet all day long when I'm at work just so I can be at work
making money, I have my own apartment, car, car insurance, and bills in
the apt to pay for, i cant afford to be off sick all the time, so I just
take narcotics all day long and usually morphine sometimes at work as
well. But my boss and all the staff are aware of my situation and fully
support me no matter what I have to do. Anyways I hope that answers
your question so if you are on alot of drugs dont feel bad, there are
alot of ladies on here that take drugs everyday its just part of what we
have to do to survive.
