40-Year Journey with Chronic Pain and Medications. For years I have tried to hide by medication from whomever was near to me. I was embarrassed ashamed that I had to rely on these medications just to get through a day.
I have countless creams and shampoos to deal with the silly things that I’ve picked up during the last 40 years dealing enduring chronic pain and mental instability.
So here are the biggies in the top drawer, the amount of mental health and pain medications on repeat I have amassed.
