Hello Kelsey, thank you for this group. I don't know where to start describing my pain. My chronic pain runs about an 8 without meds. Don't know what I would do if I didn't have them to help me function. Yes I'm just a lil upset and Trump and the DEA about taking away our meds. I have degenerative scoliosis which I just have had my third surgery for. In April of last year I had two rods screwed into my spine starting at about the top of my shoulder blades down to my tailbone. A month later they went in from the front and fused the bottom part of my spine. Just a month ago I fell in the middle of the night and cracked both rods and had to have surgery again. I have dealt with the pain of scoliosis all my life. I started wearing a brace in the second grade until the 6th grade 24/7 except getting out each day long enough to take a bath. In 2012 I learned I also had multiple sclerosis, lupus and in 1999 I was diagnosed as Bipolar. But between the pain from my back, the lupus, and especially the MS I suffer tremendously. Don't know how I will survive trying to deal with the pain completely by will. I must say I'm very scared.
