    Hi dipp32
    You have had a long struggle Diane. Its always amazing to me that so many people think surviving cancer ends all of our problems. I had NHL and ended up on disability two years later. I fight daily pain while I try to have some sort of life. And I constantly deal with my many pain killers, muscle relaxers, nerve blockers and anti inflamatory drugs and their side effects. I am sorry that you also had to deal with prescription abuse. Its a hard cycle to break. I put up with days of pain rather then take a pill as I know this will be a lifetime adventure and I want my internal organs to keep working. Ahhh its always a balancing act. Please feel free to add me to your list and I'll be more than happy to chat about anything as I am an open book about my life. Slickwilly
