Ann, medication for some short term or chronic illness's is a very good thing and many people can't live without them. But, you're right about the less meds is best! Class II narcotics is never good long term for any illness
when one can take Advil or Motrin or whatever even if it means taking it a few times a day for the same condition.
If one has other reasons for taking it, then yes, of course each has their own pain level.
Congrats to those brave enough to wean themselves off the heavy duty drugs and take only PRN. (when needed) I bet you are way less "cloudy" !
I hope all have good pain control no matter what they want to take.
