Opiate Addicts: What Miserable Lives They Must Lead

Two doses of hydrocodone (plus limited walking) produced horrendous constipation which I am just recovered from today.  I shudder to think of how heroin addicts tolerate this misery.  My father-in-law died of cancer, and in the last few weeks they kept him on morphine for the pain, and he was even more immobile than I was.  What a miserable way to die.
