"i was diagnosed with neck arthritis at the age of 29 (i&#039;m 48) when i got chronic headaches accompanied with a grinding and cracking noise at the base of my neck. i could have lived with that, however, the headaches developed into migraines, and as a waitress, a miserable server=0 tips. it was costing me money to be in chronic pain. so, i saw a doctor, and he prescribed tramadol, then vicodin. then i learned of methadone. long lasting, no acetaminophen, well within my price range, no buzzy feeling, no problems at all. for the first time in forever, i feel good"
