"If you just had a more positive attitude, your pain would go away!
It would AT LEAST be less."

Who decided talking about being in pain was negative?

I am thinking they just don't want to hear about it anymore. Also I would like to see anyone always having a positive attitude. It is often kinda creepy for someone to never have a bad day and for at least a moment think o woe is me.

BIG TIME!!!

It just is not natural to be perky and smiley all the time.

You know those perky people, they're not so happy on the inside. It's mostly a show. One of my perky friends was just operated on for cancer. No, it's not natural to be cheerful all the time. It's just their way of masking their own pain. But I do enjoy being around them when it's genuine!

"If you would try taking a hot shower and lay down a while I'm sure you would feel better"

My mom sent this to me at a #9 scale...I sent her at text back that said "LOL"
She of course didn't get it

"My mother in laws sisters best friends boyfriend knew someone who told him about someone who had heard that his great grandfathers girlfreinds son in law read something about someone, that sounds JUST LIKE what you have"

"Let them eat cake."

Oh, wait, I think I am on the wrong thread.

I like the "if it hurts don't do it".

If I followed that advice my fingers would be frozen now. When they hurt I have to stretch them about ten times per day Throughout the day for several days until they start to feel better.
