The problem is that it is being used as dope. Since your mother doesn't use MM, why are you making this argument? She is opting to take the route I take. I would rather suffer than take medicine that might be addictive, or have side effects. I've dealt with pain for most of my life and you learn to tolerate it. If it gets too bad, I take some naproxin. Like your mom, I deal with it without becoming a "doobie brother."

Is that old drunken drug addict still alive? (He would probably appreciate that statement, and if he ever hears it, it will be in a song)
