Not much to add here...

Brewman-
Keep the faith-IN YOURSELF
Chronic ailments can be debilitating on the mind. I am even seeing it in the short term. Feelings of weakness in yourself, letting those around you "down by being sick all the time". It doesn't take long to shift your mindset when things start breaking down. Fight through it, remain the man you are.
Some of my patients on Oxy have had other side effects as well-the noodle just wasn't right. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help. There are many products easily available in order to help things do what they are supposed to do.
Intimacy is a healthy part of living, and healing. BOTH of which you need to continue doing during your meds transition.

All my best...

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
