The best part of dealing with could be chronic illness and/or pain is the relationship with your doctor. I’m very open and if I feel that something is amiss, I allow outside help and recommendations. I mentioned to someone before….it’s the quality of life that’s all important.
I had a judgement made upon me that I was an addict for using Klonopin. This is the not a forum for judgement calls. I’ve been in a support group for decades and it’s always said…. Restraint of pen and tongue.
