Know the feeling. I haven’t had a pain free breathe in 30 yrs. Osteoarthritis drugs was supposed to work on OA pain, what it did was destroy my GI tract. The Reflux meds, Steroids, Nerve Blocks gave me Osteoporosis. I now deal with a Degenerative spine with Stenosis and a Calcified Lumbar. Fibromyalgia a autoimmune. Neuropathy, Gastropresis, Barrett’s Esophagus which is a pre-cancer. All level 10 pain, no cure, no treatment. The 1 drug for Gastropresis is Reglan, Black Boxed for Neurological side effects is a 2 week drug, that just broke me out in Hives with 1 pill thankfully. I’ve spent the last 18 months rehabbing my dominate R hand, thumb surgery left me with no fine motor skills. Now the L thumb has blown, with double trigger lock and a torn ligament. Scared t0 death of a second surgery. Those OA drugs didn’t stop with destroying the GI tract they damaged my heart too.
My BIL, his 10 yr old grandson and the BIL’s younger brother all 3 have Duchene’s MD, his daughter has had 2 botched knee surgeries, she wants the leg amputated because the pain never stops and she has Lupus on top of it.
One of the freelance writers I know who picks these lies apart has EDS with Small Cell Neuropathy. Look up Roger Chriss and Richard Red Lawhern, Red is on FB, but not Roger.
Disease is no respecter of persons. Lady Gaga has Fibromyalgia, Venus Williams has Sjorgen’s all autoimmunes. Only difference is they can afford to pay top dollar for treatment and we usually can’t.
You poor dear. I don’t know now you feel about it, but I wish they would legalize marijuana for medical reasons. People don’t die from mj overdose. I know it isn’t enough to kill pain in all situations, but would help in a lot.
In other news, I read that ABC is going to kill off Roseanne in the new series by opioid overdose. Seems like a stab at a Trump supporter.
