"i am a 34 year old male and have been dealing with fibromyalgia and arthritis for 6 years now. i&#039;ve taken just about every kind of pain killer out there and percocet is the best. i feel as if i can do normal things and be more involved with my family and friends. i was suicidal, the pain and isolation was so depressing. since being put on this i feel normal again. i&#039;m lucky i guess because i haven&#039;t had any ill effects. i do recommend drinking lots of water to continually flush your kidneys and liver. i&#039;ve been on percocet for awhile and have had them tested and haven&#039;t had any sign of trouble. you really don&#039;t know how great pain free living is until you experience months or years of chronic pain."
