I was willing to seek medical care for the ongoing pain of TMJ and I didn't because what I can afford is one Dr visit & one RX for generic opioids (the only treatment that touches that pain).
But there was no point. The only Dr I could afford became terrified of prescribing opioids (thanks DEA. yes it was the DEA). No matter that I had, for years and years, taken opioids responsibly.
However it's no longer a problem. That only Dr - that countless thousands of us could afford to visit - just closed up shop.
Am I willing? Sure. Able, no. Not in any way.
