Nov 2021

I've held on to the same doc for over 30+ years, cause she's been with me through all my surgeries for my condition and helped me pick a rheumatologist. I'm on one opioid and have been terrified for years they'd find some way to take that away. I can't function with nothing - the nerve pain is too intense. As it is, I try my best to make 2 weeks worth last for 30 days; some months it works; others it's really, really hard. Winters, in particular, are the worst. Color me scared of being bedridden for the rest of my life.
