Unfortunately, we can live this way for many many years without being properly treated and the meds withheld. The biggest problem is the usage of addicts making it difficult for those who need these meds to just get thru the day.
There must be a better way than this.. no alternative was truly given. Its like telling a dr to stop treating patients because there are hypochondriacs in the world. How do you know who it is until its too late .
