Hi everyone, my wife suggested I join to talk to fellow sufferers of dds. Diagonsed 10 years ago, had epidurals, various meds from morphine to fentynl, now on longtec, gabapentine, methocarbanol and fluoxitine. Really struggled coming to terms with giving up work and fighting side effects of my medications, but eventually I've accepted the hand thats been dealt(still have bad days, but dont we all) I hope i haven't come across to morbid and theres obviously a lot more going on, im sure once I feel comfortable with the group I will open up.
Thanks in advance
Mark
