Last month I did a post on Pain, Narcotics and Chronic Illness that was originally written by the National Institutes of Health. I began that piece talking about Alex. Surprise. It was relevant because I spoke about how difficult it is for a mother of a child with chronic illnesses to watch him become dependent on narcotics at a young age. It truly is heartbreaking. The other important subject of that post that there have been studies recently on developing non-narcotic pain relievers. Well, here is an article about that coming soon.
Here is the post that I put up in January: https://iamnotsickboy.com/2015/01/15/httpwww-nih-govnewshealthjan2015odp-12-htm/
And this is the article on non-opioid pain relievers : http://phys.org/news/2015-03-medicine-closer-non-addictive-painkillers.html
This could make a huge difference in so many lives!
