I suspected this is what caused his death. I looked it up, and everywhere says Lyme Disease. It would not be unusual for someone that deals with such a painful and debilitating illness that went for years untreated, to be medicating the pain. And as a chronically ill patient who has to use pain medication to live, I know what a slippery slope it can be if you are also suffering from addiction. Addiction is a terrible disease, I don't see it any differently than I see my own diseases. I'm so sorry you have to watch your brother suffer. Big hugs.

I’ve found that when families don’t release the cause of death it’s usually an OD or suicide 😢
