Hello,
To make a long story short, I've had a chronic disease for over ten years now. Been there done that with every facet of pain management and our wonderful health care industry. PT, injections, surgery, etc. I've been taken for a ride by some of these doctors. I'm sure some of you have similar stories.
The only thing that seems to help and live a somewhat normal life is Opie eight medication. It's indeed a slippery slope as those who take it know. Years ago I made that choice... it was either that or continue each day getting a little bit closer to not wanting to live anymore due to the amount of pain I go through. I chose my path and, for me, it was my only option. On the good days at least, I am thankful that I can put on a smile (of the genuine type) for my kids.
Anyway, I've seen the ups and downs of the online scene (here we go again it seems). It's been a few years since I've been active in the community or even lurked. Times have been good until recently... I don't want to lose contact with the community again.
Hope you all are well. I for one am not.
