NA 18-39 Broken Back,Cart Wheels and Opioids with Dave Perrego

The Nature of Addiction with Sara Troy and her guest Dave Perrego, on air from September 25th


Dave says”I had been a Communications Specialist for many years. Employed by the Federal Govt. I attended work, in Feb. 1997, as though it were a normal workday. Around 1:00 in the afternoon, I bent down to lift some equipment from it’s housing. I heard and felt my own lower back “snap”, as did those within hearing range of me. Life was going to be radically different from that day forward. I was 42 years old and had my best earning years ahead of me. I would never attend a concert, graduation ceremony, sporting event or drive a vehicle without the influence of pain meds or severe pain for the next 20 years. In 2017 my Orthopedic Surgeon suggested an electronic device that might kill the ever present pain I had experienced every morning when I woke up since the accident.”

I almost laughed at her suggestion but was willing to try anything as anything was better than the pain prescriptions I had ingested for so long. Stim Wave had recently developed a Spine Stimulator and my Doctor thought it could help. In  9/15/2017, she surgically installed it in my back. It worked; the pain was all but gone. I had found an alternative to the meds. That’s when the real work began. Repairing and re-booting the effects of 20 years of pain medications. To term it politely, drugs like this “twist the instincts” and repairing them is job that will take the rest of my life. “Cartwheels in the Parking Lot” tells the story beginning with the injury, continuing through the medical hoops and foolishness and finally concluding with the discharge and withdraw of the pills. It’s a story anyone who has had their lives affected by drugs should read.

YH18-28 Deb’s Prescribed Drug and Opioid Addiction Story

“Your Health is Your Choice” with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Morgan, on air from July 3rd

My Opioid abuse started after I had a surgery that kept me on Pain pills for over a month. I had no idea that was going to be an issue nor had I abused them at the time.
This is part of my story and the relevance of what is happening today with the drug and Opioid crisis we are facing in the US and Other Countries.
After the Doctor took me off of them I realized I felt shaky and irritable and then somewhere In my mind I decided I needed more for whatever reason so I ended up going in with a complaint and had the doctor give me another surgery not as severe but it put me back on opioids. Again I thought I need these for this or that not realizing that my brain was telling my body what it wanted. so a little time went by I started Doctor Shopping and getting some prescriptions that way and then It downhill quickly. I started stealing the doctors prescription pads this was in 1990. I started writing and passing my own prescriptions and got to the point where I lead a double life one was being a middle class working mom with 2 children and a good job to also being a functioning addict so I thought.
I began needing more and more and I ended up taking 100 Percocet per week and my life was doing all the regular everyday things while making sure I always had over 100 Percocet to get me by and to get the money to hide this from my husband I would not eat lunch and steal clothing or whatever and take it back to the store for a return that very day. I finally must have wanted to get caught because I passed a prescription and as the story goes much longer than this I ended up facing an officer who helped me and people that I can not possibly thank including myself., but the arrest needs to be talked about and how this happened and how very angry I was and how my life changed so much as I started to find out why and finally get help before I hit bottom which for me would have been death.
