I'll have to see how this works in practice. I know a Fibromyalgia patient who has tried many other treatment options and has found Hydrocodone to be the only one that makes her a functioning person. Yes, she watches her dosages like a hawk, logs them faithfully, and it has worked well for years.
I first heard about it this morning, and read several different stories. This one is actually a good story, most of them leave out a lot of details, like the fact this is only for new patients with acute and temporary conditions like a broken leg or dental pain.
