Since my symptoms began 13 years ago, Ive tried every form of pain management I could access NSAIDS, nonopioid analgesics, neurologic medications, acupuncture, laser therapy, physical therapy, prolotherapy, massage, and trigger-point injections. Most of these have been unhelpful; others provide temporary relief, often at great expense. At the end of the day, when my body is fully depleted of its resources and in the most pain, a single dose of Percocet is the only tool that silences the pain enough for me to fall asleep.I honestly dont know what Id do if Percocet became unavailable to me, and the very thought scares me. Ive been taking it for five years. To avoid any chance of addiction, I only take it at night and have stayed on a consistently low dose.
