This has been an enlightening discussion to read. My
take of pain meds is that they should make pain
bearable enough that you can continue to function. One
of the things that scares me when I read Jenn's posts
is the fact that it sounds like she spends an awful
lot of time sleeping off the  meds. That can't be good
and all that inactivity can't help with the spastcity
either.
