I used to do the preemptive pill thing knowing I was going to ache but a recent colonoscopy revealed an ulcer so I’m to avoid them now.
I do find that a quarter of one of my dock neighbor’s Oxys is a freaking miracle.
The 72 year old guy I bought my previous boat from said he was hooked on Tramadol and it all started with his neighbor giving him one. At the time he told me about the headaches if he didn't take at least 1/4 pill per day with his morning coffee.
I've avoided Opiates all my life. I'm afraid I'd like them too much.
A botanical tea called Kratom (the Red Strain) will make you feel 20 years younger without the side effects of NSAIDS but stopping its use is similar to quitting coffee with a headache that won't go away for a couple of days. I liked how my body felt but it did slow me down and I didn't like that feeling. I now only drink it when I've really beat myself up. There's lots of hate on the internet on the topic of Kratom so read with an open mind.
