I agree with much of what you said. It is unfortunate that CH sufferers are often lumped in with the drug addicts that come in and out of the ER or office visit whose sole purpose is to get a buzz. Most opiods and the synthisized type like loratab are sold illegally for up to $10-20 on the black market. It is a real problem. So I do understand why docs fail to stick to their Hippocratic Oath. Yea there is a problem for us CHers as a result. But narcotics,and other pain relievers are shown to be of little help for CHers
Such is the case with me
Thanks for the link Donald,DC
