Wow. Wish I seen this a year ago!!! I have hereditary chronic pancreatitis.. And it sucks! I can't list all the tests, procedures, surgeries, pain medication, pain management, doctors thay I have gone through!!! I am going to be 27 soon female... I got dependent and addicted to Percocet than heroin I hated it got Tylenol with codeine at age 7 Percocet at age 10 .. I have currently been on suboxone for 4 years. It saved my life. I seriously go to 1 doctor not even for gastroenterologist no one.. Only my suboxone doctor. I want no more pain meds and sh*t done to me... It doesn't help with all the pain NOTHING EVER will.. And if you keep trying to find something more, and keep going down that road.... You won't come out of it... I rather deal with the edge of the pain and be off of all the pain meds, and tests getting done to me. Suboxone is the 1 thing I recommend to anyone with these issues of dependencies/ chronic pain. It may not work for everyone but choosing to accept it, and know you will never fully get 100% relief is better than where I was and how much opiates i was taking. And overdosed and having to go to 4 rehabs for chronic pain issue/ drug dependent. I'm okay where I'm at... I work full time as well! Chronic pancreatitis took my grandmother and my father 2 years ago of pancreatic cancer.. I chose to live life with this, and make it a hell of a way to live. I hope you find pain relief and comfort more than anything... So Sorry! Goodkuck.. I took 3 8mg strips a day down to 2 a day now. Sometimes 3.... May will be 4 years of being on suboxone.
