This may not be news. But before I got an actual diagnosis every doctor just piled on pain releivers to no end, seems like at one time I had a prescription for all kinds except for morphine and fentanyl. I didn't need most of them and filled them and just kept them for "later". Now that I have an actual diagnosis which one of the known symptoms is pain it's like the one thing nobody will touch with a 10 foot pole.

Speaking of eyes I have never had an issue being a diabetic for 50 years now. They used to use dye in your blood to look at the vessels and now they use a photo of whatever tech. I can tell you what is a pain the ass. I almost wished I had bad eyesight in both eyes. Eye doctors can't leave it alone. The retina comes back okay every time and they simply skip over the entire "have a lesion on my optic nerve of the bad idea" entirely.

I got diagnosed first via just general exam but they had to put the dye in me to really check the vessels. That sucked ass

re: Pain. Not sure how the rules are in TX (where I recall you being from?) but speaking as someone who has had pain his whole life and has had fentanyl patches in the past, you now have to specifically ask for pain medication. You will feel slimy for asking but it sure beats suffering. Guess that way the doc can say they are not pushing meds on ya? I actually go see a pain management doc once a month to make sure I'm not getting a monkey.
Hope this is of some help. Anyhow bro , be well.
