"i feel the need to add my 2 cents here. for years i was unable to live a &#039;normal&#039; life - spending most of the time in bed due to derkums disease and severe arthritis. moving was painful and even the shortest trips left me in tears. i was given nucynta, dilaudid, lortab, just to name a few. oxycodone was prescribed and it truly changed my life. i am now able to take walks and do light excercise, yard sale and go to church! i do not understand the negative press about this medicine, i have never felt &#039;funny&#039; or different. i just do not hurt like before. i consider this a life-saving wonder medicine!"
