I am going thru a divorce but the last person I would tell would have been my ex. He is like Chevy's, uptight, never had health problems, etc. No understanding at all. Very much a hypocrite too. Used to hide things from me all time, money for instance. I am just so glad to be away from him...got my own little place now. Yay! My mom knows, she is my best friend and a totally cool person. She's 66! I haven't been using OP's very long and discovered them by accident when the doc on call prescribed 10 Lomotil instead of the usual amount and acted like a jackass about it all. I had done an internet seach on Lomotil to educate myself about it and remembered seeing that you could order it online. I was so pissed, that I went and ordered some! Then I was a little freaked out by what I'd done. So called my mom and told her. She said, "I would have done the same thing!, in a heartbeat" and called the doc a name!LOL> I think that it is a personal preference, to tell or not to tell. It's really nobody's business but our own.IMO. So I keep it to myself.

Quincy, Keep the faith baby! Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouln't do to keep yourself pain free. Have you thought of applying for SSI? I have. That is what those programs are there for, to help where there is a legitimate need.JMO.
