So after almost 8 years of undertreated/untreated pain, this year I was officially labeled a drug seeker by certified mail & banned from care by a medical clinic in our town for requesting a benzodiazepine medication that was helping to mediate severe spacial disparity & vertigo. 
Vertigo is now another battle that started after a Shingles & a #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis flare. I was also beginning diagnostics to determine if I have breast cancer as well. Getting that letter was humiliating-Devastating as I live in a rural town with limited options for care.
From Facebook:
I am completely shocked by this! AHS’s funding for the Wilderness Treatment Base Camp (Enviros) has been cut - effective March 31, 2020. This is a publicly funded treatment program for youth 12-17 years old who are struggling with problematic alcohol and drug use.
We are failing our youth and families by eliminating funded programs for addiction treatment. Early intervention is critical for our youth ... it is about preventing long term addiction issues.
