I have a degenerative bone disease that causes my bone marrow to turn into tumors. It’s really painful and I break things as I walk.
I’ve been on fentanyl patches when my pain gets too extreme. I also drink coffee when I don’t have the energy to do much due to my condition. I was taking stronger stimulants NuVigil in order to be able to function at work in a corporate job before I became 100% disabled for several years. Nowadays, I just stick to coffee or caffeine pills.
A lot of people mix uppers and downers like that. It’s just that coffee and caffeine are much more acceptable stimulants even if they work pretty close to the same…
