<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Howard Black, post: 3591001, member: 97119&quot;]Wow, the alerts keep on coming. I&#039;ve got to find a way to put a stop to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you wonderful, warm-hearted, &quot;welcoming&quot; folks don&#039;t want &quot;my kind aroun&#039; these heah pahts&quot; then just ask me to leave and I&#039;ll be shaking the dust off my sandals in a Noo Yawk Minnit. I have zero interest in being where I&#039;m not wanted.</p><p><br /></p><p>And since &quot;we&quot; are now apparently boasting of our pain</p><p>(in an implicit &quot;mine&#039;s bigger than yours!&quot; brag), then I&#039;ll toss my hat into that ring. I was prescribed 900 mg of Morphine per day. For the opiate-naive among us, that&#039;s known as a multiply-fatal dose for someone who decides to pick &#039;em up and toss &#039;em back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cut myself back to 200 mg per day because I was sick and tired of being treated as if I was a dope fiend every time I&#039;d spend a fun week or two in the hospital. I was told I wouldn&#039;t be able to do that, but, I did it. It took a month or so, gradually lowering the dosage from nine 100 mg tablets per day (three tablets, three times a day), to two per day (one tablet, twice a day).</p><p><br /></p><p>The 900 was not sufficient to mitigate the pain, not even with the 80 mg of Hydrocodone, 400 mg of Tramadol, and Neurontin, and Parafon Forte, and...</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s therefore worse now, but, at least I get to maintain a measure of dignity during what passes for my &quot;vacation&quot; time.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, maybe <i>your </i>pain<b><i> is</i></b> worse than mine. I don&#039;t care, just as you don&#039;t care about mine. I don&#039;t feel your pain (I guess I am bereft of Clinton genes), just as you don&#039;t feel mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want me to go? Say the word, and I&#039;ll be gone. And I won&#039;t resurface as a sock-puppet either. As I said, I have no interest in being where I am not welcome, and I can&#039;t comprehend why anyone would <b><i>want </i></b>to&nbsp; be where they&#039;re not welcome. But then, I can&#039;t understand why anyone would take Morphine for &quot;fun,&quot; but i guess it takes all kinds.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, y&#039;all have made a liar of me for the last time. Even if I <i>am</i> welcome on <i>Coin Talk</i>, it&#039;s abundantly clear that I am <i><b>not</b></i> welcome on this, &quot;my&quot; thread. So, sandals, do yer thing...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
