I was in such bad pain. If that muscle relaxant hadn't made me so sick (making me abandon both meds) - who knows, I may have become one of those addicted unfortunates. There but for the grace.... I know someone whose son crossed over to heroin addiction. And a co worker's cousin died from an opiod overdose - he was in his late 20's and had two small children. People now will put, right into obituaries, the fact that the deceased loved one died this way - but the deaths keep overwhelming this community and others.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321251.post-73083663390898329222018-03-11T10:34:40.682-04:002018-03-11T10:34:40.682-04:00I had never heard about opioids so this is very in...I had never heard about opioids so this is very information.

Love the part about the poppy fields. Not sure I had put that together, of if I had, it is one of the many things my crowded brain has let go of over the years. :)Jeanine Byershttp://www.comfortwithhygge.com/thehyggeblognoreply@blogger.com
