I'm now considered a criminal and an addict even with 10 years of medical history.I'm an LPN also, so my career is also jeopadized. I had been forced to illegally treat my own pain because my doctor refused to change med. even after repeatedly reporting it wasn't working the same anymore and I was needing more and more to control my pain and now I have to deal with this reputation. If I can get a doctor to even consider treating my pain it would be a miracle. I was even refused by a pain management center and was told no one will touch me with a 20 foot pole. I'm not sure how much longer I can manage or even if I want too. I have alot of resentment for the medical field at this point, and certainly no faith either. My only goal was to keep pain from controlling my life and support my family. Life is challenging daily and most of the time isn't worth living if I can't be comfortable and feel worthy and human.

Emotional support for your children is worth more than financial. Your kids when adults will never say, I missed those fancy sneakers, but will say I missed my mom being there for me.
So, be kind to yourself and find out about disability payments, and take care of yourself first so you have something to offer your family.
I had money, I had cars, I had a house, a big ass house. I had it all. Lost it when I got sick.
You know something, my kids rather have me than those things. Pink too. Family get together next month, it wouldn't be possible without the love I gave my kids by being there.
Ouch
call me ouch: I 'm not specifically referring to financial support, I mean mentally and emotionally and ethically and morally supportive, this is the challenge with dealing with chronic severe pain. thank u tho,..u made me cry..it doesn't take much thee days either but that was a thoughtful response.
Being home made my life and that of our families better. This way I wasn't at work or in bed suffering after work. I was able to provide the nurturing they needed.
Ouch
I'm sending out good vibes to you and your family. I hope that you get to keep your job and I pray that you find a kind doctor that believes in you.
I don't know what else to say but others who have posted replies before me had some great insights.
Keep us updated.
