Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
It took me a while, while off the pills, to get my head back on straight. Now I understand who I am again and who I'm working towards being. I have no need to take the pills to numb my mind.
I did, however, start taking them again (less than RX'ed) because I could not handle the pain. I couldn't even take a shower without wanting to cry. I feel weak for having to use them (not a judgement on anyone else) but there is no way I can handle my life without some pain relief. It sickens me to know that the pain will only get worse with age (I'm only 23).
I don't like how the pills make me feel- mind wise- anymore. But I have to suffer through that in order to live my life.
I'm so sick of pain. I just want it to go away. :(

Funny you mentioned how you dont like the way they numb the mind.... I am on a lot of meds for Immune n blood disorders, n dont take alot of pain meds... really dislike how they turn off the sparkle in me.... esp Gabapentin...
I hope you can find that balance for relief, just keep strong n be proud of what you have achieved..... N so hope your pain starts to settle some soon.... Proud of you....
Huge Hugs n 8-)'s....
