Again, that is what I said. I realize that.
Now back to your original post about the drug testing . . . Do you understand what so many of us have told you about routine drug testing for programs? They have to ask. They have to test. They have protocols they have to follow. In fact, to not ask those questions would be unprofessional of them.
Look, I have a husband who has lived with as serious degenerative neurological pain disorder now for 30 years. He completely understands that they have to do drug tests, etc. for liability purposes, even when they know him pretty well and are pretty certain he isn't abusing his meds for his diagnosed pain disorder. The fact is, med abuse can be a real problem in the treatment of pain disorders, so they are going to keep an eye on that. You might as well get used to those questions and the testing that goes with it; it will be a very routine part of any treatment you undergo.
