- [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference]
-
- Sometimes, I think the greater pain in dealing with chronic pain is
- what is inflicted by others in response to your pain: uncaring
- medical personnel or friends/family telling you "its all in yur
- head", offering no compassion, never trying to understand the pain.
- All that is just compounded by the depression/suicidal feelings you
- get from time to time when you feel so helpless from the pain,
- wanting it to just end, and there is no hope given you. I can
- really relate to what you and your girlfriend are enduring. I hope
- you can find a COMPASSIONATE/KNOWLEDGABLE doctor close to home to
- help you...
