Smile The Doc
I aksed my Physiatrist, a board certified, fellowship trained pain specialist regarding the wind down of meds. He dictated a schedule to wean me from meds, and I have followed it. This has also led to using greater intensities on my stim unit, but that is OK. I see my physiatrist this week [hopefully]. For a wrap up conversation, I think, since off of the pain meds now.

Hugs to all,
