i have fibromyalgia. i used to take vicodin 3x/day. i was also prescribed oxy 2x/day. that didn't work, so i didn't take it. since the statute of limitations is up, i can say that i sold them to a co-worker. he paid good money and bought jimmy choo stilettos and other designer shoes. that eased the pain of depression for a while.
the vicodin helped, though. but now, i live back in pennsylvania again. the drug laws here are so draconian. so my fibro has been untreated for years. i've been to tons of doctors are tried everything: special stretches, a tens unit, even pot gummies. i've never liked pot at all, but i was desperate. it didn't alleviate my pain. it tasted like freshly cut grass and gave me munchies within 15 minutes. so i gave them away.
i have a pcp that kind of helps me. every few months, when i have a really bad flare-up, my pcp will give me a few days of vicodin to help me through. i got some yesterday. but it's only three days worth.
i wish it was more so it could actually *do* something for me. you know, ctb. which, until i found this website, always thought meant "cross the bridge." i always equated it with the raidbow bridge that pets cross. that made me feel a little bit better with the idea of ending it. i figured i'd join my past furbabies that i miss so much.
tl;dr: got some vicodin. not enough to make a difference. just needed to vent about it.
