Thanks for posting that. I've never felt "enslaved" by the meds myself perhaps because I felt enslaved by the disease for so long before I ever tried them. But each day when I take the meds I do resent the disease itself. When they're working I resent what it has done to me in the past. When they're not I resent what it's doing to me now. It's as though, when I hold them in my hand each morning, they trigger an unwelcome moment of reflection. Even as I am grateful for the meds themselves I am still angry about the need for them, angry about the years I did without them, and of course, very frightened that they might someday stop working.
Perhaps that is what other people are talking about after all.
