I agree on the drugs! I was supposed to take 900-1800 mg of gabapentin A day. I never took what I was prescribed. I didn’t like the way I felt on 300 mg. I can’t imagine taking that much! Every single drug I take or have taken has had some awful side effect or two attached. I have zero quality of life right now. I just finished my seventh round of antibiotics since January. Everything that happens to me from the tiniest cut to a pierced earlobe (yep, tried to put a pair of earrings in for the first time in six months and gave myself an infected earlobe🤦‍♀️) causes me to need antibiotics. My laundry list of tests and doctors for the next three weeks is pretty daunting too. Two MRIs and one CT. Pretty sure the one MRI is going to say I need to have my rotator cuff fully repaired. The second MRI is for my back. Trying to figure out why I have chronic back pain. Already had the other shoulder done. It was the worst three months of physical therapy I’ve ever gone through. The CT is for an Ascending aortic aneurysm. Pray every year that it hasn’t gotten any bigger. And that’s October for me! I’m really sorry you’re going through all this. Your problems sound very painful and hard to deal with. I have seen people come out of hip replacement so happy they’ve had it done! I truly hope yours is the same. Good luck to you! I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Sam sorry you are going through so much too. I have been online all day, researching. I have diabetes2, diabetes neuropathy, severe hip arthritis, dr doesn't understand why my hip hasn't cracked off. I can't stand on my legs for long, just enough to get to the bathroom. I am in constant fear I will fall and break my hip. I am 76 y o. I pray that all of us seekers of reversing these medical problems find a way to heal. no fun on a walker. I see an orthopedic dr on the 15th I've had to wait 2 mos. my mouth is bothering me now wonder which drug is causing that.
