May I ask what is the source of your pain?

I know what this sounds like - but like me you probably 'know what
you're doing' when it comes to dosage/mixing drugs I've always made
a point of knowing what I am taking, it's risks, average doses, etc.
Mixing with alcohol certainly amplifies an analgesic's effects.

Thanks Cheryl, this afternoon I'm off to the doctors to look into this
further, at the very least I need some more antibiotics to get rid of
the infection which still persists. Its made eating difficult and
painful... I've been using a teaspoon to eat with since that's about
all I can fit in my mouth without too much pain.

I'll see about some pain killers too, as I'm out of oxycodone and have
a few tramadols and Norspan patches left. I normally don't use any
pharmaceutical pain killers, but like to have a supply stashed in the
fridge for emergencies (I have lower back and elsewhere pain). I get
them here and there from friends occasionally, no need for a
prescription as I don't need that many normally. Like to keep
antibiotics handy too. Medical help is a long way from here, which is
the main reason I do this.
