My daughter is 22 and is going the same route. I would trade places in a heartbeat if I could take her pain away. I have RA and live with pain, but Im trying to stay off opioids as long as possible. I cannot take any OTCs because of my RA meds and I rarely sleep due to pain, but I figure the longer I hold out, the longer Ill see some efficacy later.
Its hard when you go from doing everything to not being able to do even little things like walk or sleep. I really wouldnt wish it in anyone, but I hope every one of these bureaucrats contracts a chronic, painful illness. They are truly evil.
That's what they are doing to people. My son has no wife, my GS has no mother basically because she is in so much pain that she barely functions. My GS has severe autism and needs his mommy. His dad, papaw and I do what we can but we aren't mommy.
The worst is the horrible pain that my GS has from his autism. He is only eight and they won't even consider anything for his physical pain.
