I thought that doctors knew everything and that they were there to help you, but not so much.
Jennifer's life took a drastic turn when she switched doctors. Struggling with fibromyalgia, she initially managed her pain with non-habit-forming medication. But her new doctor had a different approach, prescribing Fentanyl and hypomorph in alarming amounts. Even when Jennifer pleaded to reduce her dosage, the doctor insisted she continue. This medical negligence led to a downward spiral—she lost custody of her son, her hair and teeth began to fall out, and she never once turned to the streets for drugs.
Her situation reached a critical point when a new doctor bluntly told her she shouldn't even be alive. In this eye-opening episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', Jennifer recounts her harrowing journey through addiction and recovery. She shares how a dedicated medical team eventually stepped in, prescribed suboxone, and helped her find the path to healing.
Jennifer credits her recovery to her unwavering desire to be a mother and the timely intervention of healthcare professionals who truly cared. Her story is a stark reminder of the dangers of over-prescription and the profound impact it can have on one's life. It's also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of support systems in overcoming addiction.
Jennifer's courage and determination shine through as she talks about reclaiming her life and finding sobriety for the sake of her son. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It underscores the necessity of seeking help and highlights the possibility of recovery, no matter how daunting the journey may seem.
