I know exactly what you are saying. Last year my nurse and my ex watched as i threw most of my pain relief out- they were concerned i had too much in the house!!! Then when my (new) nurse found out i had stronger pain relief she took it off me, til i needed it. This week tho my doc gave me a new script for pain meds, and bewtenn the codeine and the panadol i have about 300 tabs, which sounds like a lot but handy to have when you are taking 8 a day during bad periods. I am pleased to say that, while i have had probs with pain relief in the PAST there are no issues now, and i finally have that respect. GL
