I hear ya Dan. I started using my pain pills to curb it. Got to the point I get didn't feel anything. And my health and life was in the sewer.

The meds is something I chose to stay away from. I would say seeing my son in childrens hospital, that nearly did me in. Then when my daughter snapped and said daddy, I want the pain to stop, I want to go where the angels are. I was done. Everything else was small. Life needs to be put in to perspective, and that did it for me.
