The reason why I started this thread is because I take so much opiate meds and I wonder what they could be doing to our bodies, bones, liver etc. There are so many of us here that take the same kind of meds and I thought who else would know this kind of thing. When I ask my GP about this he says not to worry about it, he's probably right but.....
Thanks again,

Honestly, I haven't noticed a difference since starting them--but I may not be the best person to ask. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2009 and that is what caused my neuropathy and other health problems. My body doesn't absorb pills very well. I'm on strong narcotics and they don't touch my pain for two reasons--my pain is so high and my body doesn't absorb the whole pill. So I am taking calcium and magnesium and all these things and I can't tell a difference.
The ones that I CAN tell a difference is anything that is measured by blood tests. I know that my B12 shot has raised my levels and my body is finally absorbing Vitamin D because my levels are consistent.
Aside from those, I don't know what is and what isn't working. But like you, I worry about what is being done to my body. I only have one functioning kidney so I am trying to stay on whatever supplements may help me to prevent any further damage of any kind!
