Knowing that I'm probably going to be in pain constantly for the rest of my life is something I'm not OK with, and I'm not sure how to make myself be OK.  Just like you, it's not the needle, it's the whole situation that sucks.]]></description>

It all seems to have finally hit me. Not to mention, now I am realizing i cant do the same things that i was able to before all this. Maybe with dealing...]]></description>
