Chronic Pain
"I&#039;ve been using Fentanyl 50 every other day for 9 years. (Tramadol for breakthru) My pain is controlled, and it had saved me from the pills. Using percocet prior, I would take more pills than I should and now just patch and forget.
Problem- new drug laws are keeping ppl who need the meds from getting them. 
 To keep patches on without tape, be sure to rub area with a dry towel before applying, then hold on skin for 30 seconds. I haven&#039;t lost a patch in 8 years. 
 Biggest worry is having to find a Pain management center who will let me keep the patch. I played the pill game for years. The new laws are lowering the quality of my life. I am not an addict because I use pain meds."
