I feel ya bro.
I catch myself thinking about what I can say to my doctors this time that will convey my true pain, and what it is doing to me.
The words "drug addict" should never be mentioned in the same breath as RSD. Would a faker beg to have his leg amputated?
Dont ya hate when they say things like...it is all in your head. That one really brings on the heart rate for me, and I start thinking about what part of their body I could hurt the most with my cane. Too bad the cane pain wouldnt last long enough for them to identify with RSD pain.
Lately the thing bugging me the most is my sisters boys always begging for pain meds. At first I was believing they had REAL pain, but you can only have so many tooth, back, knee or any other pains in a week. If I catch them snooping in my room again, their gonna wish they never knew me
It is people like those mentioned above that are making it so hard on us...people with zero pain, but an insatiable appetite for pain meds.
