@dancer7000 I didn’t understand the digesting issues. There are million different kinds of narcotics and opioids and 1 million different kinds of digesting issues. I have IBS and damaged intestines, which have taken me six years to repair due to not knowing I was lactose intolerant our medication’s have lactose in them and they cause stomach aches so I switched medicines when I can and I take Lactaid pills when I can’t. That fixes the digestive issue part I also I’m on the FODMAP diet for IBS symptoms and been on that for five years and that 100% fixed all my digestive issue problems as long as I don’t eat things I’m not supposed to like garlic and onions. It took a bit of work to find the right opioid that allowed me to be pain-free and not acquire intolerance or a feeling of getting high. The trick was to take just enough to start that it knocked out the pain and I didn’t feel like I was on drugs. The nerve blockers didn’t work for me. I was lucky that I had doctors who were willing to go on the journey with me. I lead a very joyful and productive life and because I’m an artist, I value my isolation more than others. For others, I recommend that they find a passion in life that they can pursue in isolation and then they will wonder why they ever regretted isolation! As far as I am concerned, the best things are done in isolation cooking, reading, enjoying a movie, exercising and doing artwork… Not to mention catching up on emails.
