Side-Effects

Sometimes we have to give in
When it gets to the breaking point
So I finally did what I don't like to do
A new pain pill non narcotic
But with the effects of a narcotic
Put me in a trance like state
Okay for a couple of hours
Forget pain, have drifting dreams
But the groggy feeling won't go away
A dull headache and blurry vision
Queasy stomach, and itching too
I was better off before I took it
Not wanting to complain, but
Why in hell can't we ever have
Relief without the side effects

 

etw

No doubt about it the side effects can be worse than the help they afford.

NOSUCHTHING, sis. I was on oxycontin for a few years as I couldn't get around without it, TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. Got off that which is NOT easy now, like you, I take one less narcotic, more pain but less side affects. No easy answer, huh? as they say: PAIN SUCKS! I'm prayin for ya, and a whole lot of others, are, too. Be well and smile as much as possible. K?

Interesting question you pose, Eileen, in excellent, thought provoking verse. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease...hope you're feeling much better soon, saying extra prayers for total recovery of mind AND body. :)

((((((HUGS))))) and love, Karla.
