Kristara, I know exactly how you feel. I've been pushed around for 27 YEARS now due to agonizing chronic pain. My spine is deteriorating & degenerating and it's horribly painful. You think they want to give me enough to even make me REASONABLY comfortable? Heck no.

It's taken me all this time - up until about 3-4 months ago - until my new doc found a combo of meds that actually DO work enough to get me comfortable enough so I can sleep about 4 hrs a night (on a good night). I still can't do any housework. The house is a mess and thanks goodness my daughter lives with me, but she isn't the best housekeeper.

Right now I'm having a flare due to the weather, and it's awful. There's no point in talking to the doc. He wouldn't do a thing about it. Anyway I DO understand. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
