First, I wouldn't put much stock in what people say in regard to an online post. Some people are just jerks and intentionally set out to be jerks online.

Sounds like you have found some medical help for a very debilitating problem for you; be confident in that and don't let the turkeys get you down.

I will correct you to say people absolutely do say they are "against pain meds." There is an entire political issue revolving around the drug war against opioid medications right now which is a major problem for patients with true, chronic pain conditions who legitimately need pain medications but have difficulty getting doctors to treat them because of the political backlash right now.

The reality is, the people in this world who abuse medications make it much more difficult for patients who actually need them through the stigma that becomes attached to those medications (whatever they are for) and through the legislation that gets put in place that impedes doctors from being able to prescribe for their patients.
