Pain
"I am not really impressed with the pain control I receive from Vicodin. I have a long history of chronic pain related to my disease Lupus. I have had Lupus for 20 years. As I get older the pain seems to get harder to deal with. Fortunately, I am still able to work and function on a daily basis. 
I am fully aware of all of the side effects, for me the benefit almost always outweighs the risks. 
I don&#039;t understand why doctors are so afraid to give you something different that may actually work better for me. They are so concerned with addiction. Vicodin is addictive!!! I don&#039;t understand their rationalle."
