Hey, I understand how frustrating it can be when dealing with a chronic pain issue with no definitive diagnosis related to the symptoms, especially in someone so young. I also take Cyclobenzaprine for muscle spasms in my neck and it is helpful. If I may...just a slight, but important, distinction about "addictive personality", which is actually a common misnomer and is, more accurately, an addictive tendency, often genetic, and not part of our personality. I wish you well in your pursuit of comfort and treatment.

Thanks for that clarification! I monitored a graduate psych course long ago and one of the observations on an MMPI was whether an addictive personality was in play. We all gave them to each other 🙂 I’m sure they have updated their terminology and seems I need to as well. Thanks for keeping me literate.
