    I remember that one - the alt text is "If it were a two or above I wouldn't be able to answer because it would mean a pause in the screaming."

      They put me on amitriptyline at the lowest dose but doing bugger all. I told the doc I'm gonna self medicate with booze, they didn't argue.

        Not nice (apart from the vodka). Have you considered going 'off-piste' for your medication(possibly delivered via a cigarette, for example)?

                Comfortably numb, I suppose.

                Pain itself is a medical condition. You should demand/politely ask for something that works, without putting as much strain or your liver or giving you a hangover. There's no real reason for anyone to suffer pain nowadays, though it often requires effort from the doctors.
