For 22-year-old Jacob Rosenberg, life without his daily dose of Vicodin wouldn't be much of a life at all.
"Before I began taking narcotics two years ago, I would spend my days in bed," said Rosenberg, who has suffered from fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis for five years, and chronic pain for 10. "I was in college and I wasn't capable of doing anything – go to classes or go out."
