I remember when I first learned that I had a biological illness (bipolar disorder) and that I might have to rely on a drug in order to function in life. I felt so helpless. There is no way that I wanted to be "tethered" to a drug in order to live a normal life. I wanted then, and still want now, complete control of my present and future without the dependency on medication. I would be very happy, however, to now find a treatment that works for me, even if I have to remain on it for the rest of my life. I don't seem to have the luxury of freedom from modern medicine, despite how primative and inexacting it may be.
I am hoping that you will be forever without the need for a medical tether. Freedom must feel wonderful. I guess freedom is a matter of perspective.
Be well.
