My doctor read in a md journal it s not good to be on those pain meds. he s taking me off of all of them I m so scared I d rather die I am comfortable now and he said he thought I would be ok on them but they are no good. I feel suicidal and want to die. I will not suffer in life. please tell what I should do I am on medicare and medicade. I am also disabled I just received triple the care giving hours because of my pain. I m not lazy my quality of life is good because I m not suffering. Tell me me what to do
Long term painkillers might great another organ like liver disorders. Painkillers hide diseases rather than treat it. You are 43 years old, so you must go on for test for endocrine disorders like thyroid and ovary to rule out any pathology or insufficiency. Bone degeneration is common at this age so test for alkaline phosphatase and vitamin DE level should be checked.Accordingly, take medication for that. Till time, avoid painkiller as much as possible
