Another great piece Doc, I personally suffer through two major ailments and a few minor ones that are connected! Just now I'm on Liquid Morphine (Oramorph) I have been reading Gabor Mate and other books on "Mindfulness" just by reading these books have given me New Methods of Pain control helping to cut my Morphine use, ( Prescribed) I'm in talks with my Dr who is in agreement if I was able to stop taking the Prescribed Morphine it would be better for me in the long run! Morphine can become addictive I think everyone knows that!
I will be doing a controlled method of cutting down following the meeting with my Dr ,I did try stopping by myself but the pain was too much and it was causing side effects. Yes it's very true many people balk at the idea of Change , Yet I think if given good alternatives as well as good reasons for that change they will be more receptive.
It's at my behest making the change from relying on Prescription drugs to using the mind and alternative methods of pain control. I don't know if I'm right but if a person wants change and has the means and most importantly the Support for that change then it will be easier? I am supposed to begin some kind of Radiotherapy in the coming weeks ( it keeps getting put back due to availability) so I'm not sure if I will have stopped the Prescribed medication or not by then.
Very important thing I have to say here" IF you had not given me the Confidence in myself back ,I honestly don't think I would have even thought I could do this. I have Hope that I can do this and my Dr definitely supports me in this ! So I will do my damndest to get this done. You are a kind genuine Gentleman, just as I was losing hope I Have it back.
Derek it sounds right to me. Let me know how it goes but I bet this will be very successful
We’re a weird bunch aren’t we??
Yes and I am too, and I mean it.
Ah Anne if we were all the same how boring life would be
Nice piece!
