dottie brought up another good issue...the pain. in fact, that's probably why you're so highly dissociative...everyone running around trying to deal with pain.

can your family dr send you to a pain management specialist for meds only? that's what happened here. of course, the dr wanted to do this and that procedure (very risky as close to the brain and eyes). also, the dr wanted to put me on strong meds, etc. i declined and take a mild narcotic. i have for years with never increasing doses, etc. i'm blessed that it still works for me after years. however, it does.

once you've built a trusting relationship with a good pain management dr., they will do whatever they can to help your pain.

i hope that is resolved soon as i think it's why dissociation is so high. i know when i was dealing with daily pain, i lost more time than i had.

be safe. talk to your family dr about a good pain management specialist. if your dr won't listen, see another, but somehow try to get that referral.
