    You’re so right he didn’t need to go through any of the suffering. He didn’t need to feel all the pain and feel hopeless. I do wonder though, what his music would be like if he didn’t. Would we all get the same feeling we do when we listen to it now, because that pain is his music and the music is now his medicine.

    You're so right... it's a catch 22...a double edge sword... and I remember him talking about this in an interview when asked, "if you could go back and never have had to go through your illness, would you?" And he said he didn't know if he'd change anything because it was what made him who he is today. Many people might have just curled up and died, but he used it as fodder to spur him on. It takes a special kind of person to do that. So I think HE thinks it happened for a reason... as tragic as it is.

    Great reaction, really enjoyed your post song synopsis! I worked in emergency medicine for 27yrs as paramedic/firefighter, and part time here n there as an ER tech at a couple hospitals, the reason I liked your synopsis is because you recognized that it's a messed up system without demonizing the doctors, or should I say medical community as whole too bad. Trust me, there are some big time a-holes, a lot of them being doctors, if I had a nickel for every doc I ever met with a god complex...well, I'd have enough to take you and your family out to dinner...lol. There's a lot of great nurses and even some docs that truly care and take their oath seriously. The system is so broke though a lot of times they're handcuffed, and I don't think it's a debate over universal healthcare or not. People fall through the cracks regardless. I think maybe a start would be for the medical community to start moving away from the old narrative of disregarding or ignoring folks who self diagnose or became a "google doc", even some of the good ones do that to patients sometimes. The internet is no longer the wild west, it has a lot of valuable information if you know where to look, and people know their own bodies better than any doctor or nurse. They should approach it like maybe it's just a communication issue, just because the patient doesn't have a degree on the wall or know the medical lingo, doesn't mean the doctor can't try to interpret what they're telling them. Anyway, just spit ballin' over here, I've rambled long enough, keep up the good work!! ✌💚

    I feel the same way! I've met some amazing doctors who truly care about their patients, and some nurses who were angels on earth. There are a ton of them who are unfortunately brainwashed, and/or uneducated on anything they didn't learn in med school, or who laugh at anyone who tries to use alternative treatments and the simplest of things like diet and lifestyle change. Just throw pills at people and send them on their way. Many are bought and paid for...who have forgotten why they probably got into medicine in the first place! But you're right...the whole system leaves them shackled to rules that they can't get past. As far as google goes...I went to a doctor asking for some blood work years ago because I had all the symptoms of low thyroid. He laughed at me and said, "Oh, is that what doctor google told you?" What a pompous ass. I've had a few encounters with doctors like that. People fall through the cracks everywhere...and Ren was one of them. There are people who it happens to here as well, especially those who don't have insurance and can't afford to go get the testing done that might give them some answers. Our family can't afford insurance because my husband makes too much to be eligible for medicaid but not enough to afford insurance for the 5 of us, that would actually cover anything. Health care shouldn't be dependent on how much money you make. And the level of care that you get shouldn't be only based on how good your insurance is. I know myself...I don't feel as good as I know I should...but the rabbit hole I would have to go down would cost me thousands that I don't have. I've already tried numerous things hoping to feel better...yet here I am, right where I started. And I'm over here rambling too LOL! Thanks for your comment :)

    @@MrsRealistic... Thank you for sharing part of your story with me. I kind of feel guilty actually, before I retired I think I often blindly defended the medical community when I wasn't fully aware. I was sort of medically privileged, any time I've been sick ,hurt or when I needed my appendix out, it was a hospital I either worked at or took patients to, so I always got the insider treatment, but I didn't realize it. I retired a little early due to PTSD, which among other things gave me horrible nightmares and for a time I was soooooo desperate to stay wake 24/7 that I started self medicating with street stuff. Some strong stuff sent me into a major panic attack one night and a friend took me to the ER, it had been a few years and I had a beard, plus a lot of turnover with the nurses. Boy oh boy did I see what it's like if you get the label "druggie" or "OD" put on your chart when your admitted. I tried to tell the nurse that I had a history of panic attacks and that I just needed an Ativan drip or Xanax, she and later another nurse, totally barked at me like a child, that I was just looking for a fix. My panic attack was so bad I just took it cause I wanted to feel better. the doc came in later and guess what, ordered an Ativan drip. As soon as the iv bag was empty I undid my IV and left, they're like you can't do that, I go funny, I just did, see ya. I quit self medicating after that but I've had 2 primary docs since refuse to give me a Xanax script for my panic disorder, and it's the only med that gives a little relief. I was on it for 7yrs before I retired, it sometimes took a year to go through 30 0.5mg pills cause I only used them like "break glass in case of emergency" situation. The illegal stuff I was on was an upper too, so i dont get it, one little slip, and now I guess my chart is permanently marked as a drug seeker. Ugggh. I had a bad one two days ago and i had to take a bunch of Nyquil just to pass out and sleep thru it. Sorry, hearing your story got me fired up, thanks for letting me vent. Take care.

    @@sunshynff I was stuck on antidepressants for 10 years because the withdrawals were so severe I couldn't stop taking them. No doctor ever told me that was a side effect. They didn't care enough to. I had severe PPD in the form of anxiety and panic attacks when my second daughter (born in 2002) was 6 weeks old...fast forward to 2009 and I was told I had high liver enzymes. The first doctor treated me like I was an alcoholic (I only have one drink maybe once every few months) thinking I had cirrhosis of the liver, then accused me of having had my tattoos done in some back alley, because it must be Hep C, which is wasn't...Then after weeks of tests, ultrasounds, CT scans and MRI's, found a tumor (benign) on my liver...removed it, and 61 staples later, told me I had congenital hepatic fibrosis, of which I had ZERO symptoms. 2 years later I was told I had high liver enzymes and 2 more tumors. I told them to shove it and I wasn't going through another surgery. I'd rather go through childbirth (which I had done twice during this time frame) than have to heal from that. fast forward again to 2012 and I slowly managed to wean myself off of the antidepressants by cutting the pills smaller and smaller. in 2014 I got pregnant with my 5th and last baby...and the routine pre natal bloodwork showed TOTALLY NORMAL LIVER ENZYMES. Hmm, either the doctors were full of shit, didn't know why I had the tumors so they just found the diagnosis that fit and went with it, OR the antidepressants were the only reason I had high liver enzymes. I wonder which one seems more likely? I never had those other tumors removed, and to this day I still might have them, if my liver hasn't totally healed on its own. But every time I've had bloodwork done since I got off the meds, my liver enzymes have been totally normal. Not ONE doctor ever asked me about medication I was taking and that maybe, just maybe, my liver couldn't filter it anymore after 10 years. So now I have a scar that spans the entirely of my upper abdomen and my stomach muscles will NEVER be normal again. I used to be a gymnast and had an incredibly strong core. It's totally destroyed now, and probably for nothing.I could have been saved from ALL of that unnecessary intervention if ONE doctor had cared enough to tell me I shouldn't take those meds long term and gave me a plan to deal with PPD instead of just tossing me pills and sending me on my way. I knew they weren't doing anything for me after a few years, and the side effects like waking up drenched in sweat were awful! I managed to deal with any anxiety I've had well without the meds. And I only ever used Xanax, like you said, as an emergency. But I haven't had a panic attack in about 10 years now. Even tho I had "good insurance" during the time I had my surgery, I still got thousands of dollars of medical bills to add insult to injury. Needless to say, I'm weary of doctors as a whole. 😞 There is a time and place...and if you're lucky enough to find one who actually cares you've found the needle in the haystack. If I break a bone I'll go to the doctor. But for the most part I avoid it like the plague. My husband needed life saving treatment for mono last year, and we're grateful for it. But now we're left with $100,000 in medical bills for a weeks stay in the ICU.😡

Now this new doc, who won't give me the xanax, wants me to get back on them, I started for a bout a week and the side effects hit my like a ton of bricks. Granted my mood off of them has swung more to the extremes, like I'm either very sad n weepy, or in a VERY good mood, back on them, I'm just kind of numb. I think I'd rather take the lows with highs, than just be normal and numb all the time, so I'm in the process of deciding to continue being back on them because I just applied for disability, and my disability lawyer says I need to be compliant with my doc to have the best chance of getting approved. They got us by the balls one way or another I guess...lol. Take care, good luck.

    @sunshynff That's how I felt. I would rather have shitty days so I can also have great days than be numb. I've been med free for about 11 years. I was on about 3 different ones over the years, but it was the effexor that I was on the longest. I still get "head zaps" if I'm really tired. Just the long-term effects that I'm left with that will most likely never go away. I had a shitty day yesterday just feeling down, useless, and old... but that never lasts long. We're supposed to have emotions 😆 I say, if you're handling things without them...stay off! There are diet and lifestyle changes you can make that will do what the meds are supposed to do. Sometimes that's extreme. For example, if I eat anything other than keto, I am more depressed, anxious and extremely bloated. If I don't exercise, I get depressed. And I haven't been working out consistently... which I think is why it finally caught up to me yesterday. I have to keep up on my vitamins and supplements. I've had to take my health into my own hands because doctors will never go anything but the allopathic route of meds... and it's just a band aid. So, like you said, they get you by the balls, the short and curlies, etc...especially if you need to qualify for things like disability and such. I hope you get things worked out. I hate that the system doesn't work FOR us, which is what it is supposed to do. "First do no harm" right? 😒
