Thank you and yes, every day is a struggle to keep going but I trust God has a plan and I try to hold into that. Praying to keep fighting but the emotional part of all of my pain and inability to plan anything with my family is killing me, little by little. Yes, Florida was a pain pill mill for some time and after years of suffering I finally agreed to take a pain medication because everything else they was throwing at me failed, I didn’t want to try anything else. Well as soon as I did and I got some relief, especially for all the issues with my back, they stopped allowing pain meds for chronic conditions. I had a doctor that was still prescribing them because she knew the law change was not directed to patients like me. Well she left due to an illness and doctors in Florida are scared to write scripts for them. I don’t have the energy to start all over again with new doctors. With this virus going on, hard to do anything now. I know this is not a way to live and I just pray to stay alive and fight and hopefully all the over the counter medication will not do damage, along with all the other meds, facet injections,radio frequency ablations and injections that I feel made my back worse. The nerve damage that continues is a whole other pain and unbelievable pain that I have to endure.
Thx for responding and I pray your surgery is successful and your husband is strengthened in every way. Yes, my husband is wonderful and I hate how our lives have changed because of my issues and depression and I am grateful for him and how he puts up with me and my mood swings and short fuse. My dog is my life line.
Keep in touch if u can. God Bless
