I am REALLY HAPPY that you're safe, @BethRags! I'm not sure about what the technical definition of an OD is as well, but certainly taking more Meds than prescribes can be REALLY dangerous. Thank God you're safe! I'm SO SORRY you're in so much pain though! I hope things will get better soon for you. Keep working on yourself! Yes, I can understand how being told the same thing over and over must be annoying so I don't balme you Still, it's not bad advice like you've noted. Give it a try if you can. It's important tho have coping skills Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @BethRags, and ALL of your Loved Ones! STAY SAFE!
