We’re in Chicago..but not til 10/1/ 18 ... in the meantime giving him every piece of knowledge I can get my hands on. Amazing what he doesn’t know...never heard about eating small meals and slowly ...that seems to be first and foremost with all I have read. The diagnosis fairly resent 3 or so months but still...Fear can cause some to freeze...I feel compelled to help...I talked to him about overmedicating... he said he isn’t...but his Dr just prescribed a medication called Amitriptyline 50 mg....I looked it up...side effects outrageous....he hasn’t picked it up...Dr said it will help with pain...I told him what you said, about pain meds...scarey “....
