I have a story, just like all of you. I’m in high-tech consulting. I know the power of information. I want to share but wish there was a more secure means to do so. I’ve done nothing illegal and have nothing to hide, I guess I’m scared to just let it all out, for the entire world to see all of me.

I’m not a writer. I’m a child of a mother who stressed the importance of reading, writing, and arithmetic (Reminds me of Bill Haley!) My mom would come home from her shift at the hospital and crash… read more

How do you get your motivation back after a long fight with pain. The feeling of giving up when nothing seems to go right? When those you talk to say they don't wanna hear it anymore? When you have so much that needs done but your body won't cooperate and you feel overwhelmed.

Ive avoided going to the hospital when my pelvic pains flair up, because i know theres nothong they can do for me. Ive taken panadol, ibuprofen, and my prescribed codeine, none of it helps and i usually end up vomiting because of how painful it can get, its imobilising. I know the hospital cant give me anything or help in any way, i usually just get a few tests and am told to go home. And just wait for my ultrasound in 2 weeks from now. Help?

Is anyone staying abreast of this whole #opioidscrisis #opioidepidemic #dea #Kolondny going on?
And, are you concerned about losing your medications or have you already lost them?

How do I respond, if at all, to this message? This comes from someone I love. I do not want to hurt them, but they just don't seem to understand.
