The other noted how we simply want to level out and have some kind of reliable defense against our suffering, and yes, maybe even do some of the things we could do when we were well. That's all I want but doctors seem always to have a corporate chart that determines my medicine i.e. condition, weight, age etc. (currently) or just a liking for a certain medicine/arrangement of medicines. In response to others who have ab-used the system, I cannot find a Dr. who will provide professional, detailed & factual, scientific care for me. They don't want involved and offer you a take-it-or-leave-it option! You're a problem if their solution isn't working! Anyway, can you send me/post information on how to talk to your doctor if being undermedicated has ravaged your life under his care? I'm thankful to have some care and can't jeapordize that- but I need to find someone who listens and takes me seriously, in compassion. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

I hope you continue to be open-minded about looking for more pain management tools in addition to your medication. Please feel free to download any of my articles that may have some helpful tools for you. One is called “Coping with Anticipatory Pain” that many of my patients find helpful.
