Yeah, I think I took less than a half dozen of the Oxys I got. I didn't need them.

Of course there's lots of old guys here ~ younger guys only want modern fuel injected Hot Rods that require far less fiddling with .

Pre war American vehicles are dropping in price as Baby Boomers die off .

Sad but a fact .

I know that the Quack Doc was a licensed pharmacist at one time and now holds himself out as a "healer". He was sued by the medical authorities for practicing medicine without a license. He was really only getting people to juice, eat raw veggies and take supplements. He beat all charges by simply having a bunch of current and former clients bring their medical records in and testify to how they were healed from one terminal illness or the other. He has since moved from TN to AL where the laws are more relaxed. Regardless, people do what he says and get better.

and ride your bike - about 3000 to 5000 mi per year.


We've known for years that fat in diet caused diabetes and heart disease. Eliminating the fat will heal.

I had open heart surgery in 2010 and I started showing physical addiction ten days after I started regularly taking oxy. While in the hospital recovering they gave me these big ones every three hours like two Certs. Huge. Made sure I swallowed them. My chest hurt so bad I wouldn’t have spit them out for anything.

Then a week later I got home and they cut my dose to these little ones the size of M3 washers. Ouch. Big change in mood. Then a week later I ran out and they said no more. What? The nurse said take Advil.

I spent a day on my porch coughing, shaking and with goosebumps. It took me a day to figure out what had just happened.

Just chiming in...that stuff is no joke. It must be a downward spiral from the moment you get prescribed that crap for chronic back pain.

I live in an upper middle class neighborhood and it is a huge problem here. I asked why at a town meeting on opiates and they said bluntly, “because people who can afford here have health insurance that pays for the pills.”

Use hot baths and Advil gents.

What other effects do these oxy Pills have? Keep you in a state of uphoria? I hear illegal usage is really at epidemic numbers.

When I attended a retirement seminar 8 years ago the speaker was adamant we all need to save more money as in our generation there will be numerous individuals making it to 150.
I can hardly wait to keep wrenching for another 66 years.

After my heart surgery I’d say they made me feel just ok. I didn’t feel happy, good or euphoric. I think it just made the pain of having every one of my ribs broken tolerable. It still hurt when I would breathe and the PT person would make me blow into this tube and make a ball float up every few hours. It hurt like ...,

So no. I just felt ok. But if you’re taking it for fun, well it must be good or else people wouldn’t be wrecking their lives

In days past there were less addictive pain meds available. The FDA hopped on the problem and banned them (for our own good, of course) so nowadays the only pain meds available are extremely addictive.

Even over the counter meds, such as Advil, have huge risks if taken for any length of time. Especially if you are "elderly". I know two people, personally, that could have died from internal bleeding due to continual use of NSAIDs. They both had to go on special diets to literally save their lives.
That's why I'm more in favor of hot baths with Epsom salts. The magnesium is good for you in so many ways. Beneficial to muscles, including the heart, organs and skeletal.

By lying as always .

The less addictive meds were heroin, used widely after WWI to ease the suffering of crippled soldiers, then of course was morphine, same deal , another war....

Of course hm knows no one has EVER had any addiction issues with those..... .

I'm sure hm will now claim he was a military corpsman and has treated thousands of injured soldiers .

A busy man he is .
