ddomansk- I am so sorry about what your wife is going through. I did work as a home health care tech and I see people in your wife's situation, as anything BUT a statistic. It must be hard for you both to deal with the public eye, being so scrutinizing. For that, I wish people had more cooth and decency. I wish you and your family the very best!

How hard would it have been to simply add it is also used for pain management? NOT EVERYONE TAKING METHADONE IS A HERION ADDICT. I do not want to hear it “people shouldn’t care what others think”.

Who can’t walk, who can’t pick up their children.

My first thought was that she must be a nurse. I know an ex-nurse that stole medicine from patients on a regular basis. She got busted and fired, halfway house, the whole bit...she is still finding sources.

A one million dollar bond? What did she do, force feed the stuff to all the kids in a daycare? There is more to this story than has been reported yet.................
