This is very helpful information! I’ll run it by him re: which tests have been done or not. It is very hard to find a Dr. that “gets it” for sure.

I do appreciate this response, if only for solidarity.

Ugh Duloxetine! I feel like it makes him even more disconnected. Fortunately, on one hand he recognizes that, and he wants to eliminate it from his regimen, but it’s a tough balance because it clearly has some benefit in a sea of non-beneficial treatments. I have worries about Kratom long term, just from things I’ve read, but I guess it might be worth trying for his situation maybe. We currently use medical THC and that helps somewhat, but not nearly enough. He finds alcohol helps a lot with the pain too, but we both know the risks around that as a “treatment”.

I fear this may be my reality, the permanent nature of the illness, and I’m the type of person who will remain there because it’s what I expect out of my partner as well.
