I’ve lost count of failed prophylactic & rescue meds over 20 yrs @fightpaindaily @hope411adcock @D321Debbie @painadvocateAR @tal7291 @jillyannjiggs @JillPiggott @Nashkitty66 @Tootwisted40 @MichaelNey19 @NickCarlin6 @esteckler2 @aander1987 @Chronic_FLKeys @ThomasKlineMD @DanLairdMD @JSG_54 @donnelsonguy There are a few issues here:
