... Costco and Super Target often have a good selection of back curing beers. But like all good things, don't ask your doctor first!
If you've suffered for any real length of time, you've discovered the number of Drs, (and sage advisers) who never needed to "heal themselves".. I always ask for the oldest, grouchiest Dr on staff. They generally have a personal reason to be there beyond the pay, it seems..
Begin rant..
I'm happy for folks who have never really hurt, or really experienced the "top of the pain scale", but those folks can be pretty petty and useless, (at best) for folks who, for whatever reason, have to kinda live there..
I was young once.. I did all the stupid stuff that most all of us did.. I grew up.. I've got a couple of sisters who seek out acquaintances with back or dental pain, to beg or steal pain pills. (One 57, one 60 years old!!!) They both stole from my mother the stuff when she was alive.. They both seek position to lighten my load on the pills for my back.. I can't have a relationship that allows them entrance into my house.. It's piss poor-sad..
Both many Drs and those professional "sage advisers" who never really hurt more than maybe a toothache or a broken rib think that the rest of us are those guys like my sisters..
I've always tried to be honest, sometimes beyond the point of discretion, to everybody.. It's a thing of mine.. Trust works both ways.. It annoys me more than I can say in mixed company to be treated like a common POS who lies when their lips move, to the singular end and agenda of a buzz..
A clear head is a treasure when you have to fight to have one, but the kind of suffering that comes from things that you just can't help
need not be..
(I recently had someone brush up against that raw nerve of ignorance (aka sage advice) of how blessed and relatively pain free their relatively charmed lives really are.. It happens.. Those holy noses just get so very long sometimes..)
End rant..
