- A woman has revealed how she beat her opioid addiction by
using orgasms to control her chronic pain.
Hannah Shewan Stevens, based in Canada, was prescribed codeine and tramadol after she began suffering
with pain at 14 years old.
But she quickly became hooked and at the peak of her addiction was popping up to 15 pills every day.
Now, aged 30, she has turned her back on prescription medication and
instead relies on orgasms morning and night as part of a 'system' that minimizes daily pain.

But she quickly became hooked and at the peak of her

Describing the pain she experienced as a teenager, Hannah told
'It interfered with everything from sleep and food to studying and
socializing. I sleep-walked through daily life, unable to escape
chronic pain's grasp.
'I also experienced extreme chronic fatigue,
chronic insomnia, and my mental health plummeted.'
Hannah said the doctor prescribed codeine and tramadol which could be refilled anytime and soon she 'developed a reliance on drugs.'
She revealed she 'could not survive a day' without dosing herself with the prescription drugs
before revealing that at the peak of her addiction she was popping up to 15 pills a day.
At 21 years old, Hannah quit cold turkey and described
the withdrawal as 'brutal.'
She later received a diagnosis that ascribed the chronic pain to fibromyalgia and joint
hypermobility syndrome.
She revealed: 'After an intense session with an ex, I basked in the afterglow of
orgasm and realized that, for the first time in 10 years,
my body wasn't in any pain.
Now, aged 30, she has turned her back on prescription medication and instead relies on orgasms
morning and night as part of a 'system' that minimizes daily pain
'It didn't last long, but the experience forged an obsession with achieving painlessness again.
'Since my accidental discovery, I have curated a system that minimizes my daily pain levels - namely, with morning and
evening orgasms to reduce overall intensity - and separates sexual pleasure from pain management.'
Hannah has concluded that orgasms, along with daily physiotherapy and meditation, make up
'the perfect coping mechanism [b]****[/b]tail.'
And although experts state that orgasms should not be considered a primary treatment method, studies suggest that they could prove beneficial.
