Thank you. This site is so helpful. It will get better, I know. But you are absolutely right- drs only know you for 15 to 30 minutes. Meds seem to be the only answer. I’m on so many I don’t even know which one is supposed to do what. There’s a person behind it all just wanting to know if the medicated me is the real one or a dulled version based on someone else’s idea of normal.

@dmp532 your last words resonated with me and I would say I too no longer know who I am; or rather, I certainly am not the person I used to be... after illness, pain , suffering, medications, lots of time in or on bed: from the busy working wife and mother I was.it is very very hard fo rme to accept. Wishing you the best, J.
