So, yeah, here's the thing. *ahem*
Yeah. So, about my strong pain relieving and muscle relaxing pharmaceutical prescription drugs? The ones that might "some day cause a major addiction"? They won't work unless I am in such severe pain and distress that I am crying and clenched in agony. No, really.
This is why, whenever a pill of Soma kicks in, I briefly act like I am melting and euphoric and slightly ecstatic and kind of in tears of joy.
Because, you know, it is actually helping my muscles loosen up, which does not and can not happen naturally, since my damage from birth caused spastic cerebral palsy and hypertonia... which, if you are so smart, you would know causes permanent muscle tension, spasticity, and constant clenching throughout various parts of the body depending on which parts of the brain were damaged.
And unless you know what that feels like, you cannot say shit to me. Unless you know how it feels to have every. single. muscle. in. your. whole. body. loosen and relax and unclench and quit spasming and lose that extreme tension, all at once, you have absolutely no right to criticize me, bully me, or insist that you know beyond all doubt that I will become "fully addicted" to Soma or Baclofen or Ultram or Codeine. Even if you were a doctor. Since, you know, you've never met me outside of internet networks.
You cannot tell me that I will abuse those medications - because, in fact, I can't. I literally won't be able to abuse them. They don't work if I am not in enough pain to need them. My body has not adapted to them. My body has not developed a tolerance to them. I have no dependence on them. And there is no point in taking those pills unless I actually require them to, you know, function, to be what you call normal.
So, really, you don't need to send me messages expressing your concern and worry about my prescription pain drugs. I, my body, and my doctors are fine without your concern. Really.

Sorry. Having a moment.
