Hi @tikigod18 it must be frustrating to watch your daughter have such long lasting pain.

I wanted to introduce you to fellow connect members @cdcc @oranbaughn, @sjsmall5286, @joanlee, and @barbarn as well as my fellow Connect moderator @lisalucier as they may be able to offer support and advice?

Back to your daughter, does the pain medication get rid of the pain or help it?

@ethanmcconkey: yes, the pain medication helps. It is just costing me my health, since I cannot afford my asthma medication, so I take over the counter ephedrine, that is not helpful for my Coronary Artery Disease. Sigh...there are no solutions....just venting here I guess. I sometimes hope I go into heart failure, o it will all be over. That is NOT a statement of a plan to end my life; just a thought that it would sure be easier.
