Pain meds and cognitive functioning

[Maria]

Thank you Dale and NoPain for your replies.
If I can think much more clearly it would be delightful and yet, I think while I'm not all there at times, I'm definately relieved of pain much of the time which has to help with at least thinking more positively if not completely clearly. It's definately a trade off as we have mentioned previously and as individuals we have to deal with what works best for our situation.
