I don't read much unless I need help. I read this book by Dr Cochrin and it helped me alot. It is about cronic pain and opiates and how they help. It is the 3rd book Dr. Robert Cochran has written. He is a renowned Neurologist and physician in Nashville. It is definitely worth the read and has helped many with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD, the pain associated with Fibromyalgia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD, Post Traumatic Stress PTSD, Multiple Personality Disorder and other mental illnesses. Dr. Cochran is very sincere and has waiting rooms in Nashville packed with people looking for his help. He really wrote this book from a scientific viewpoint and documented his findings in his own practice very well. Many people worry about the addiction associated with opiates. That is something to consider, but these prescriptions are very small quantities and have worked wonders for some. Check out this video from the doctor.
