Katie you are much stronger than me and I believe, most people I know who suffer with pain. I've lived with pain since 1993. I couldn't function at all without something to ease my excruciating pain. Thanks to Lorcet (10/650 mg.) and Neurontin (300 mg. at bedtime), I can at least be my old self sometimes. Some pain specialist (anesthesiologist) give trigger shots that can last for months and years. Trigger shots don't help me for very long but I know people (my sister is one) who gets relief for long periods. The people who get liver problems are probably those who take excessive pain meds. Doctors keep check on one's blood to see if meds are affecting the liver. When taking pain meds, keeping one's body flushed with lots of fluid is important.

Living continuously with pain will take its toll and wear on one's nerves. As we all can attest, it changes one's personality. God bless all of you who are living your lives daily in a vicious cycle of having to deal with pain.

I have to say, my husband has been amazing throughout all of this. I can't begin to give him or my 2 boys (ages 14 & 11), enough credit. In 4 years they have seen me go from extremely active and alive and bubbly to ... well, whatever this stage is now.

I still have a sense of humor and I try not to complain out loud very much and I refuse to take prescription painkillers ... for now. But it has definitely affected how much we travel, when we travel, what I can and can't do with them physically, what we eat, and so on.

I agree though, that if more men suffered from ARD, this would be making national headlines and probably even getting government-funded research. Especially if they got ARD in their penises! God forbid we sit idly by and allow disfunction of THAT organ! (Although if it were to happen, I could see millions of men lining up for the massages.) LMAO!

Hugs to all, Katie
