Oh hey no worries, you were obviously concerned because the way I put it, without context, seems very worrying. My condition means that sadly the pain will increase with time and they will have to up the dose simply for me to function without awful pain, but they will be controlled doses rather than me wrecking my liver, heart, brain etc with alcohol. At some point I may even end up on steroids to reduce inflammation but hopefully that's a long time in the future.
