sorry,I haven't been on but the pain has been intense lately.

I don't see a reduction in the pain despite their promises.

they regularly do blood tests. they said my vitamin D was low and I'm on an adrenal supplement and a vitamin D supplement that I pay for myself.

This blanket policy is weaning every veteran who doesn't have cancer off of their opiates. No exceptions.

The only reason I'm still on even half a dose is because I told them if they took me out the meds and the pain came back it was as bad as it was when I started I could and would kill myself. They sent me to a few shrinks who are little more than idiots. They asked me if I had a plan, then they asked me if putting me in the hospital for a while would change my mind? I told him unless they were treating the pain once I got out I would continue on with what I planed. I also told them I had options to explore before I got to that point.

thanks for the support everyone
