Kris Ann,
I am so sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds so very familiar.
I just don't understand how our medical system can be so far behind when
it comes to having so many people in pain. They can come up with
something to help men get an erection but are unable to help all of us
in pain. The doctors usually think that we are all neurotic middle aged
women (and men) who don't have anything better to do than whine. I know
how you feel about the medication. The doctors make you almost beg to
get even a little bit of pain relief. Ooops, now I am going on. I hope
your days get better.
Lynn
