Jak,
I hope that you didbn't think I was saying anything other than you've got to find a doc willing to work witth you, and get your priorities straigh.
Don't bother with anything but just pain control was my only message for you.
I wasn't the one telling you to stop your vent.
This is a place for it.
Its also a place to get suggestions, to implement -for your own situation.
We hope the suggestions help, not hinder.
