I have bad pain in my legs. I have no quality of life. I have taken pain meds for years to help me to be able to function somewhat normally. It even helps me to stay out of my wheelchair. It helps me to be more sociable instead of languishing on my bed all the time because the pain is too much. This in turn causes me to lash out at people that love and care about me. I lose and have lost friends and a very good wife because of the torment I go through. Anyway, this Dr. changed me to anti depressants! This destroyed any semblance of a meaningful life! My quality of life is 0%. This really strikes me as odd coming from someone who is supposed to be a chronic pain specialist whom is in support of end stage of life assisted«death«. It seems to me that not only does she want to help people to die, she wants you to suffer as much as possible before. I do not speak out of a dislike for this woman. I speak because I Am a person in pain. I am the professional pain person here! I pray that she never has a personal problem like this. She can’t judge a person’s quality or non quality of life by a 10 min. meeting. She should try walking one week in my shoes!!!
