Knowledge is indeed power. I don't see anything wrong with sharing what's worked for us regardless of the stage of another's journey. It can be helpful to have a little knowledge base ahead of talking to doctors about options. Personally I find hearing about things that have worked gives me hope and sometimes another direction to consider. I don't mind a member's enthusiasm about their treatment. I'm just glad something is working! Some of the latest research on pain advocates treating pain earlier to help prevent it from becoming chronic. Seeing as Tunajon is already on routine pain meds, looking at other ones that may increase his comfort, work better or reduce the need for opiates seems reasonable.
