I’ve thought that for a while now. Some docs just don’t get it. They got caught overwriting prescriptions which led to a drug epidemic. So then they “over-corrected” and took just about everybody off of them. They just aren’t thinking right about this. I know a lot of people are having a lot of problems now because of this.

I took myself off of them with the help of an excellent acupuncturist in Maryland. It was three times a week for almost a month that I saw her - all out of pocket money though. I would’ve loved to have continued seeing her but it was cost prohibitive. And then I moved out of state. So that ended that. I have a very limited life now. The clock runs my life: have to watch how long I can stand or sit; when is the next dose of extra strength Tylenol that I can take; etc. It’s not good, but that’s where it’s at.
