@ravensspirit68 I am so very sirry for the loss of your beautiful girl. We lost my wonderful 18 yr old niece 8 yrs ago. She would have celebrated her 26th birthday on March 30. Our family was gut-punched, without warning...so we understand this pain. May you always be comforted by good memories.
@ChronicPainDad So, so sorry Chris. I'm thinking of you. This is probably not much comfort, but just know, you are not alone. My flares have been absolutely ridiculous pain lately...I am between distress & insanity much of the time. Praying for you, buddy, in my own way. We're in this together.
Have they considered the huge jump in suicides the last few years is due to chronic pain patients being denied pain medications that allowed them to get out of bed, function & have some semblance of a quality of life? Now BC/BS Mich is paying* Dr's to DENY PAIN MEDS AFTER SURGERY
