Well of course i've developed a dependance, how could I have not developed a dependance / high tollerance ?
When you have have incurable long term pain related illness, then they put you on painkillers long term.

Yes, it has those effects when you don't get them, and its a horrific feeling. But it's better, both medically and actually, than being in disabilitating pain all the time. Not entirely sure why they would prescribe them otherwise.

Better management of your pain control might be adviseable. Pretty sure being boxed all day long is pretty detrimental.
Perhaps a colostomy bag/ stoma may be the way forward. Also the people I know with Crohns are fastidious in what they eat, ultra health, and none of them smoke funnily enough, and take regular exercise.

You are what you eat Gonz

It's pretty tight as it is, I see the GP every week and the pain team every other month.
I'll probably need a bag thinggy in the future, but whilst its being controlled via medication, then its not needed. You're not aware of what I actually eat, only the bits that I enjoy as a treat every weekish, and they don't effect me any differently the next day or soo. You're right about smoking though.

Either way, my opiate intake is not comparable to alcholism.
