Drug Induced Fog

drug induced fog is a breeze
hopefully keeps pain away
I will take morphine if you please
It just might be the only way

I take many pills and potions and have to use presciption drugs (drops)every 30 mins to help stop me going blind.I have many aids to help me etc. All of which I am very grateful for. I am not a pill taker by choice and I do not buy over the counter drugs. If my pain was severe enough i would take morphine until the pain eased.

I have had morphine under dire circumstances, and I loved it.

I am a firm believer in "better living through chemistry." I am careful to take my medications as prescribed, but when I have pain, I take the pain medicine!!! I'm told you can't get addicted from pain meds if you use them only when you have pain. I hope that is true. I never take a pill just to feel better or to get a buzz. I have to take too many pills already just to stay alive!

When I am in pain morphine is the only thing that helps me. The second I can stand the pain I stop.

Absolutely Caren, why put yourself through agony, if it can be eliminated with morphine or any other drug, even if the mind is fogged, although I have heard of famous people continuing to suffer pain, afraid they will lose their creativity, if they take medication for it, their choice not mine, cheers David

I know when I need it and also when I can stop.
