   I've had similar experience, but the pain relief, well, weed lets me   
   "get on with life".   My mom got an "early taste" of thalidomide:   
   had a high-talkin' German? Obst. with a private supply from Grunen.   
   She didn't like it so she went back to Hermit Sherry for the worst   
   so I've got F*d hips and shoulders.   
      
   The only thing better for chronic pain are the opiates,   
   and they have their own drawbacks... only good taking   
   them for a little while before ya gotta take _more_,   
   so ya save 'em for emergencies ;-)
