"A PAIN, CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS, Legitimate physicians and patients being treated like common street addicts, and THOSE THE Suddenly cannot "fathom" how we "find a way" to move forward even in the worst of pain....

I am SO SICK AND TIRED of LEGITIMATE PEOPLE in CHRONIC PAIN being treated as if we were some kind of Horrible people living on the streets and buying "illegal drugs"... The "stigma" placed on ALL pain Patients, but ESPECIALLY ON WOMEN CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS, just makes my blood boil! It took ME YEARS of being in at times very severe pain, of which when I FINALLY GOT the proper doctors and diagnosis and had insurance, the evidence was CLEAR!

I have joints that have been falling apart and degenerating since I was in my 20's! I've had numerous surgeries, by the time I was in my early 20's, I had knee surgeries, elbow surgery, shoulder surgery, and was at every type of doctor possible! I went through the "bio-feedback", and the Chiropractors, who finally one of them told me, he would NEVER touch me again due to HARMING ME MORE THAN HELPING! I SPENT YEARS AND YEARS with HORRID MIGRAINES, that began when I was about 18, and for years, I spent having injections in my neck, going to one specialist after the other, trying every medication, that most of them come to find out I should NEVER have been given, such as any type of "ergot", no types of NSAIDS, and all of the "therapy" in the world was never going to help me with the pain....

 I was NOT DEPRESSED and in pain, I WAS IN SEVERE PAIN, and terrified to depression because I feared living like this the rest of my life and how to take care of my family, do my job, go to college, keep a home, and so forth... to have a "quality of life".... it is totally insane what is happening now, and the government needs to keep their noses out of legitimate pain patients lives and legitimate doctors that are doing everything "by the book" to help their patients...

 in fact my Mom today said, when I asked her if there was anything else she needed before I left (SHE REFUSED ALL OF HER PT, WOULD NOT LET THE NURSE COME OVER AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE AID TO COME AND GIVE HER A SHOWER AND CHANGE HER SHEETS... anyway, she said, can't you "get rid" of this pain? She very "recently" within the last 7 months or so began to have lumbar spinal pain which is from arthritis and age, and just what the spine does as you get older, especially since she never took care of herself, never exercised, never tried to do a thing to keep her body limber etc... even after watching what I went through all those years.. And I told her exactly what any DOCTOR WOULD TELL HER... YOU NEVER EVER get RID OF ALL OF THE CHRONIC PAIN... you always learn to LIVE WITH SOME of it... and LAYING IN BED, NOT EATING, NOT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF, and not allowing the therapist to help her gain some strength back in her legs, and back and body, just makes the pain WORSE! That is SHE WILL NOT HELP HERSELF,

 THEN I NOR ANYONE CAN HELP HER... I am to the point THAT I HAVE BUSTED MY BUTT, for 10 years AND THE LAST 7 MONTHS HAS BEEN MORTAL HELL ON ME... and I need my CERVICAL NECK SURGERY, THAT I HAVE PUT OFF 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO HER ISSUES, but I CANNOT ANY LONGER NOT TAKE CARE OF ME... and I AM NOT going to work my fingers to the bone to get her help, to do everything I can, and she lay there and not want any of it... she will NEVER get any better, if she herself does NOT want to..... AND USED TO, SHE WOULD OFTEN SAY TO ME, "HOW DO YOU STAND THE PAIN"?   Now she gripes, whines and fusses about how bad her back hurts, BUT never thinks about how much this is effecting me physically, mentally and emotionally... I am getting fed up... and if all she is going to do is lay around, and want someone to do everything for her, then she needs to either hire a FULL TIME MAID or something... because I am getting to the place it is harming my own health....
