I take tylenol with codiene too! Thank you for your post-- it's so good to hear you've shared my experiences! (getting empathy=AWESOME feeling for me! NEVER had it till these boards!) I had a prob getting codiene from my doc too, as I am a white female, young, urban professional, just the group likely to abuse Rx drugs.
It was such a relief finding a doc who had faith and believed in me!! I take it as a prevantative too, when I'll be locked in the boardroom all day, or giving out performance reviews or something equally time-consuming and stressful. I don't want to rock the boat with this doc, as he's the only one who's treated me like I always thought I should be treated, as a PATIENT, not a potential drug abuser!!
I live in MD, just a hop skip and a jump on the map from you! My hat's off to you-- I can't imagine the stress with dealing with customers/strangers constantly with IBS!
