You know what? My whole world has turned into PMS, it seems. At least that's what other people tell me. I have turned into a monster. My mood can change like *that*. I never used to be that way. I have noticed that it's because of the pain and how it fluctuates. If I get breakthrough pain, OMG, people *will* know it! And if I'm in a situation where I can't let it show, it will come out later in whatever way. It's like the final straw is always lurking around the corner, ready. It doesn't take much for me to blow up. I can't take as much as I used to, I can barely take anything anymore, and it manifests itself in awful ways.
That's why, despite the sensitivity to meds, it is still important you get treated and that your pain is under control.
