Hi folks
I'm new here and not sure about the etiquette. If there is a relevant thread going already please let me know.
Anyway 7 years ago I got an emergency stoma . It nearly killed me . Long story . Since then there has been a few trips to the hospital . Each time I get blasted with opioid painkillers ,benzos and what not. Over time these things have gotten under my skin . I don't use but I think about more pain pills every day. I recently broke a rib and I asked my doctor for some pills to get me through 3 nights . He gave me a big bag of opioids I did not want and I can't get it out of my mind. Anyone else feeling the pull to the dark side as an unwanted side effect of stoma surgery?
