If it’s any comfort reading about you getting meds but only suffering side-effects, gave me some comfort in that I can’t even get an appointment. Like I might not get any help, but at least I don’t get meds that make it worse.
Also I completely agree with you on what dose it matter if it is addictive. My grandmother got a medicine that worked grate on her dementia, but the next doctor (they hospital hade like short hired doctors on rotation) took it away because it is really addictive. She never got a medicine that worked well after that, had she stayed on the addictive one she most likely would have gotten 5-10 good years more, but you know addiction.
Thanks. Glad no naughty side effects for you. They are not fun.
It was the beginning of my pain odyssey and was ignorant. I took what they gave me and I systematically ended them all and then settled into my own regime. I am beyond lucky, I got in with this doctor 15yrs ago before things got really bad getting a good doctor. Hopefully he outlives me ;-)
I feel for you about your grandmother. I watched my mom languish for 5 years in a home asking for them to end her. This was before MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) was available. Our pets are treated with more dignity. I know when it starts getting worse with me I am not going to languish.
