I forgot I was going to tell you I have taken Ultram and it did
absolutely NOTHING! I can't believe they even call it a pain reliever.
I've always needed at least a 5mg Vicodin, if not 2 for my bad pain. Can
you ask for something else? By the way, I have a BlueCross PPO. It's
good for doc visits and scripts, but I have a very high deductible -
$10,000. I pay $176 a month.
