I agree. As a consultant, you should hear what some of our clients say when we start the engagements - a lot of "... we didn't think it was/would get so bad!"
Similar situation here, although as a surveyor (driving up the mountains rather than walking). My paternal grandfather was from the north of England, and he had a heart attack at 55, and then others later on. Dad, who was an athlete at school, slim build, walked everywhere and very fit also had a heart attack at 55. And through family history research in recent years, grandpa's brothers also succumbed to heart attacks.My first health 'issue' came at about 35. I was very fit field geologist leaping over mountains and the like. I had a blood test for something I can't remember (no MyHealthRecord then) and it came back with very high iron levels in the blood - haemochromatosis. A genetic disorder (in those days poorly understood) where your body just accumulates iron and if left intreated the body starts shoving iron compounds into soft tissue, causing cirrhosis amongst other things.
No worries, fortunately they caught it early-ish and I just had to donate blood to remove the iron. Happily sailed on for another 30 years until another side effect started coming into play - arthritis (or greater effect of it). That's brought sometimes 2 tablets a day on flare-up and 1, possibly 2 operations, with associated strong painkillers.
I know there are others on here who have somewhat debilitating genetic disorders. So again, good luck @Lynda2475 with continuing good health - with a bit more life experience you may gain some more empathy and understanding of others' conditions.
Condescending much?
It makes a lot of sense as the drugs captured in Safescript is causing a lot of problems with dependence and addiction. It's the best way to flag unsafe situations - commonly when someone gets a script for painkillers then goes down the road and gets another script for the same.
I Uunderstand and Safescript does not mean you can't have the medicines you need.
Reticence to prescribe a certain medicine does not mean you are a junkie.
He went vegan because he decided he no longer wanted to harm animals when there are alternatives to diet. I'll mention this to him to keep track.
Noble thoughts. Would he eat road kill then?
Does he live in Tasmania ? There was a restaurant owner who went out each morning to gather recent produce.

I don't think you could go far wrong with say kangaroo tail. I'd imagine in most road fatalities the tail might not be collateral so no bruising.

Ooh, that sounds yummy!
Any chance of a recipe to add to the "Tried and true favourite recipes thread"?

Kangaroo tail bourguignon with mashed potato
Kangaroo tail can be cooked low and slow, giving you a rich and tender stew.
Of course not. I have just told you that I'm need of these medications and I'm severely affected. Whether they've targeted me or not us irrelevant. They've dumped me out on the street and forced me to source my own medicine. That cannot be good.
I’m sorry to hear that John and whilst I’m familiar with chronic pain (via family and the industry in which I work), I won’t presume or pretend to know precisely what you’re going through. All I would say is that I’m certain the medical professionals you’re seeing have your best interests at heart and are seeking first to do no harm. I can also understand why they would prefer a stepped approach to pain management and why they would recommend you to attend a pain management clinic. Hopefully they have tried to explain the same to you.
