I appreciate everything you said. Without them I truly believe I would have left the planet. It’s been 18 years since my bad accident. Sometimes they worked so well I really thought I could live with the pain.
I detoxed myself 7 times only to find my quality of live severely degraded. Now as I get to have more age/ autoimmune problems I’ve accepted I will also be on them. Does not mean I do t have stigma, constant stress of doctors- so much so I now have Lichen Planus. Thank you very much.
And like you said I dare anyone to try to live in my shoes wo pain meds!

To think what you've been through..."detoxed myself 7 times..." Here we are able to compare notes and honor what a difficult path chronic pain is. I also say, it's about quality of llfe. I find everyone has their own strengths to get by, but a better quality of life means the most.
