Hi EJ -
Two things

hang in there.
And from all your friends
I'm afraid I can't say much about physical pain. I have a friend who is constantly on pain meds though and she's trying a method of making the pain a thing, like a chair in the room. She can't move the chair, but it's not the whole room. I don't know if that helps or not.
My pdoc is SO big on structure and I'm suffering from the lack thereof too. Glad you got a few items taken care of. It makes me feel good for a bit when I have 2 or 3 things I can say I've done. (Sometimes brushing my teeth and taking a shower count.)
Hoping everything turns out for you in all areas of your life.
