Its important for me to begin.... My issues are manageable.. Not complicated, so how did i get here? "do i deserve to feel better" Is that part of the reason I can no longer manage day to day life. C2 fusion in 1990 , I knew if I ignored my health... Simply , I can no longer manage the pain. (NOT ABOUT MEDICINE) Perscription: walks & diet. No therapy or med 5 plus years now (office closed) My quality of life is in steady decline. i now Realize the medicine (depacote, efforex, ewelbutrin, adderall, rispodol many more) made me at least consistent. finding a psychologist/treatment in philadelphia (medicare A/B) is as likely as my mother saying "getting tired of Frank Sinatra"
