Thank you so much for sharing and your post.
I am sorry that you have been going through with your health, but I would be honored if I had a nurse like you.
Yes, a one size fits all does NOT work.
In reality, how many people follow the text book descriptions?
We, who have pain, have had it for different periods of time, different intensities, different body part affected, different causes, different reactions to meds, different support, different abilities, etc.
Knowing this, not by a book, but by living it, gives you or any person a knowledge that no one knows without living it.

Again, thank you for your post.
Have a pain free day!
