shit. what a cluster f%#@ [View all]

after months of diarrhea, weight loss, and gut pain, had a colonoscopy which showed nsaid burn.
luckily, i got my carpal tunnel fixed, and didnt need the 2x daily pain meds. got adjusted to living with withdrawal/rebound pain. settling down.
not so bad, hanging in.
then i had a tiny little fall that broke 3 ribs.
took meds for the first 2 weeks, because i had to keep functioning. now things are quieted down. so i am cutting back to save my guts, but

can i have my pain meds back?
just taking them at night. toughing it out.

ugh. fuck.
