A member asked:
What would cause a sudden decrease in tolerance to pain meds? i didn't cut back or anything and it only takes half my usual does to feel strong effect

Improving: One hopeful possibility is you are improving, and as your condition improves, you have less pain, thus requiring less pain meds. Ultimately, the hope would be to eventually be off pain meds as you heal. Best wishes.
