GPs reducing pain meds
My gp has insisted on reducing my pain meds so far, that most days the pain is unbearable! It's so bad that I spend days in bed.
Right now, I could quite cheerfully throw myself under a bus. I don't sleep at night which doesn't help, and if I sleep during the day (when ambient noise drowns out the tinnitus somewhat) I tend to be almost unconscious, and don't hear my phone or the doorbell.
Anyone else have the same problems ?
