drivers drive on pain meds

Okay, I'm sick of reading all the condescending remarks by those with no legs to stand on. As long as your doctor says it's okay to drive then you are good to go, period. Part 382 Section 382.213: Controlled substance abuse. Look it up nay sayers! I am a 33 yr old vet, honorably discharged and I happen to be a trucker. I am 40% service connected and am also on pain meds, vicodin. I take them when I am done for the night and if needed during the day due to the pain I am in everyday of my life caised by my service to this country. You loud mouths criticise people trying to make a living, shame on you. I should not have to choose between my career and my pain. I didn't ask for this pain and I shouldn't have to live with it when there is something that can help. I lack focus while in pain and the medicine allows me to feel normal again. So you know someone who was a junkie and od'ed on them; well they were stupid and and are responsible for making it so difficult for the ones really in pain. Know what you are talking about before spouting off garbage, pretending to know anything about this. I have a family to provide for and trucking is what I do. I can't just go find a job somewhere else like there is one waiting around the corner for me. Leave your 2 cents at home unless you have something useful to add. That is why people create a message in this forum... To find out something they didn't know the answer to, not to be talked down to and treated like a junkie. God bless all those living in pain, I wouldn't wish mine upon anyone. Take care and be safe out there.

Correct. But first ding a DOT Dr that will say it is OK to drive may be a problem.
