Express frustration with people who abuse prescription medication and the impact it has on those who genuinely need them. Share a personal experience about how you approach pain management responsibly.
To me, the people abusing the meds are just as bad as the doctor. I have no sympathy for them, they are pathetic. They make it harder for others to get pain meds when they actually need them. I carry with me an expired bottle of pain meds, there were 10 pills, I only took four, didn't need any more. I also carry with me a written prescription for pain meds that I never even got filled. Why? So I can show a doctor to assure them that I am not a pain med junky, and when I say I'm in really bad pain, I AM in really bad pain and need help!!!
