    I have total cervical reconstruct and have lived on opioids for 14 yrs.  The only thing that I hate worse than being in this state is the thought that I might have to go without this curse and live (or not) with the searing nerve pain that the opioids keep manageable.  There are urine tests, pill counts, and other measures to keep check on those of us who truly need them.  Pain in ass, but I deal with these checks regularly.  Do not punish the many for the sins of some abusers.  If they took me off my meds, I WOULD go to the streets for relief, and probably wind up dead, but at least not living in debilitating pain.
