쉐도잉 연습: what it’s like being dependent on fentanyl - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hello, it is PA Overwatch and today I'll be talking about my experience being addicted to prescription fentinyl. So since I'm not monetized yet, I'll be actually saying fentinyl and not censoring it. I hope that by not censoring this medication, I'll be emphasizing the impact it has on my life because by censoring it, I'll be minimizing the impact and severity of this situation. First of all, I would like to clarify that I'm on this medication because I had a tumor on my neck. It was a desmoid tumor the size of a baseball on the back of my neck which caused me severe severe pain. Fentinyl is usually prescribed to cancer patients going through a lot of pain with the treatment and also the tumor affecting nerves and muscles. Cancer is a very painful thing to go through. So by utilizing things like fentinyl, morphine, hydromemorphone, things like that, it helps decrease the pain and improves the quality of life of a cancer patient. I also want to clarify that when I say addicted to fentinol, I mean completely chemical and in my body. I am chemically addicted to this medication and if I don't take it, I go through withdrawals. For me personally, I'm on fentinyl. It's a patch and it comes in a packaging like this. I open it and I stick it onto a place on my body and for me that's my chest. How it works is it goes through your body through the patch and it usually goes in a lot slower than taking a pill for example. I'm also on morphine and that's for any breakthrough pain that I have that the fentinyl doesn't you know cover. I also want to note that using fentinyl prescribed for pain, severe pain or something of that sort is completely different than fentinyl addiction that's on the streets. It's a lot different, but it is the same medication.

There's going to be multiple parts in this video. The first part is the context. The second part is how it affects me. Third part is going to be about my thoughts and also how long I might be on this prescription. So, this is the first part. Why I'm on fentinyl.

In 2023, I was diagnosed with a desmoid tumor. Online, I usually say I had cancer. It is so similar to cancer because it acts exactly the same, but is neither benign nor malignant. It basically grows super fast, so it can't be benign, and it's not cancerous, so it can't be malignant. The reason why I said I had cancer is because of the survival rate of the tumor I had.
