My wife (45) has been declining in mobility since her late 30’s from a host of degenerative and fused disc issues.
She too; is also on Rx that without; immobilizes her for days on end; often she will find it necessary to re-medicate causing a disparity in her meds towards the end of the month.
I worry about her health tremendously; no good can come from a decade of palliative Rx use. She has participated in three clinical trials through the U of R over the years to no avail…
I too know the race to the pharmacy to ensure that she has the ability to rest comfortably; only for an administrative error to cause disappointment; discomfort and tears.
I wish that there were cannabinoid options for her to explore; however due to the nature of her Rx she is subject to random screening that would impact the future of her current medications that would cause major traumatic withdrawal shock…sigh.
We need to do better in this regard…
Best of luck to your wife; I know it isn’t much; however she isn’t alone and my wife believes that the clinical trials may one day bring treatment options to individuals such as your wife.
