Parus, I feel so badly for you and wish I could help in some way, other than sending prayer and healing and loving "vibes." Just being in such pain can cause high BP. I hope the side effects of the new med are minimal. I've been fighting my doctors about the same thing - tried taking the BP med, but it made me lightheaded and dizzy so I stopped. I will try another that a friend takes which doesn't have the side effects. I don't understand why the doctors can't find something to lessen your pain. No one should have to live with that. Do you see a pain management doctor? Mine has helped my pain, although I can no longer do any of the things I used to. Being unproductive is depressing, but I try to remember all of the things I was able to do until 8 years ago. I hope you stop feeling like a burden to society, and useless. I'm sure you have accomplished a lot in your life. This is just a period in your life. I wish I could find the words. You are talented and your artwork is beautiful. My pain doctor has prescribed the dreaded opiods, but I know when I take one, the pain will lessen. I take them as prescribed, no more. I hope you see a pain doctor as well since it sounds as though you need relief from your pain. I don't know your situation, but hope that you feel better mentally and physically soon. Sending you hope "vibes" as well. Hugs.

@paracat Doctors typically are trained to prescribe and there is a pill for everything. It is not their fault that they been brainwashed into thinking that medication is the answer to everything. Yes, I see a pain doctor and he is not into, "power with pills".
Also thank you for the kudos and also encouragement. Much appreciated. Vibrant, positive vibes in return. Nice read to start my morning.
