I've been trying to decide how I am going to go forward with my pain management. I adore my pain management specialist. He is the one that diagnosed me with a connective tissue disorder. Finally with this diagnosis I am no longer making commitments to myself to "not get sick" and breaking them. One of my favorite promises is the "well I will just give the same amount this year to my tax saver account because I'm sure I won't have a surgery this year!" Unfortunately, I learned of my syndrome after I had already made my benefit elections. Poop!
