As far as I'm concerned, OPs have ALREADY gone away. I've not had very much success at all ... got into the game too late I guess. The halcyon days are apparently over. The constant headaches from dealing with OPs and IOPs, the fear of legal ramifications, the constantly rising costs (I'm not a wealthy person by a LONG shot), and the escalating crack-downs on OPs are too much for me.

I've decided to settle for the minimal PKs my doc prescribes and just deal with my CP the rest of the time, like I have for years. I'm looking into accupuncture and yoga. I've started painting. I've decided to learn a new musical instrument (I'm a guitarist).

And, if things get HORRIBLE, there's always the ER. That's the way I used to deal with it. The debt is no fun, but there it is.

I'm outta here. Good luck to everybody and may your pain lessen with time.
