when the percocet neither touches the pain, nor knocks you out, it makes for mental health challenges

#chronicpain

@CdnChrisCo Now all you need is someone close to you, well intentioned, to suggest maybe the pain is psychological. I don't know what it is about humanity but unless you're suffering a "name brand" physical fear, like say ALS; everything else is in your head.

@MidnightRider

especially when you're a woman

misogyny is rampant in the health profession

@CdnChrisCo I can promise you as a crumpled human myself from an accident no doctors care about my pain load either. The older you get the more transparent you become in medicine. I hope you feel better later, maybe do whatever it is you do to aid the pain killers.

@MidnightRider

I rarely take them. Only when none of my other tricks work.

but when even the opiods fail, its a long long night

thanks for helping me not feel so alone in the midst of it all.

@CdnChrisCo I only use mine for emergencies too. 90 days supply lasts me 9 months and yet people in this country still want to take them from me. I know what the "events" feel like. Ride the storm out friend, it will subside eventually.
