My Views of the Painkiller "Zohydro"
This is my response to a link from WCVB-TV discussing the dangers of this new, more potent and much more powerful painkiller zohydro!
Living with severe chronic pain, I can see the need for something better to control the intense pain many people are forced to endure. There are people who live with severe pain every minute, of every hour, of every day. Their pain is not controlled by the regimen of painkillers that are out now. I truly wish other alternatives could (should) be more readily available and easier to access than the alternative of taking pills (such as this new more powerful painkiller) to alleviate this chronic, severe pain. I can just imagine the how hard it must be to have to rely on painkillers hoping their debilitating pain would just go away!
This very powerful new painkiller has the capacity, in the wrong hands, to worsen this country's prescription drug problem! Anything that would harm people who don't realize (or don't want to realize) the dangers, I am most emphatically against!
This is an area with many variables: (1) Controlling the pain better of people who have to endure intense, chronic pain (2) Make it easier and possible for people who live with chronic, debilitating pain to access alternative ways than pills to alleviate their pain (3) public health authorities, state officials and law enforcement should manage better the epidemic of prescription drug abuse!
