Denny,

I dont agree with what you wrote about Andrea's paper.. First thing I want to clear up or say, is that I have 2 stims implanted, A spinal cord stim and a peripheral and both my generator or battery packs are SOOO much bigger then a half dollar coin. THey are bigger then the palm of my hand and could be compared to with a remote! I will post pics showin how big mine is under the skin!!

Second, I have seen 4 Pain docs and even my primary doc made me sign a contract for the drugs. It is state law in NY to have a pain clinic have a patient sign a contract bc of the narcotics being used and it protects the doctors in case the patient starts drug seeking like in the er's or other doc's.

And she is not saying anything negative bout us RSD'ers abusing narcotics... i know her personally and she has done everything to not use them and knows that if she uses them that she is not an addict and was given the meds for a reason and shouldnt have to be taken out of context for a paper she wrote!
