OA runs in my family. I just had my first cortesone shot on Jan 27. It
seems to help. I also take Glucosomine and MSM and chondriatin
(spelchekker going ape) but I find that oxycontin and demerol are a
little nicer than your straight heroin... especially if you wash it down
with 40 oz. of single malt scotch.

40 ounces? That's a quart and a quarter. How could anything bother you after
that?

Do it fast enough, especially with a pre-load of Demerol or oxy-contin, and it
will was all your troubles away--forever.

Couple, three years ago, I was in the hospital with pancreatitis...you do not
want this, I assure you. Anyway, they were giving me a choice, Demerol or
morphine. Great stuff for great pain. You may still hurt, but you no longer
give a ****.

To sweeten things a bit, you might try aspartame tablets. Equal. Weirdly
enough, the pills tend to reduce inflammation, thus the pain from inflammation.
