No problem at all in starting your own thread to discuss going thru this ordeal with minimal painkillers. It'll be interesting to read. Many OCF posters accepted painkillers with trepidation and disliked the effects of opiates yet still did them.
A word of caution: don't make the mistake I originally did of carelessly using words that gave an unintended slight and or insult to those who chose differently. If I could go back in time, my PEG wars posts would make it clear that every patient who goes thru TX deserves a medal whether or not they had a PEG.
