Think of the 'pain' in a good light? AT LEAST YOU CAN FEEL IT? It's when you can't and don't that can raise really big red flags..
And, YES! some of those pain waves can and do take your breathe away! WHOOO! IF I'd gotten a dollar for every 'breathtaking event'? I'd be RICH!
Sooo, we go on, beat our heads against the walls until the pain stops or get hallucinations from meds. AND THE PAIN, STILL isn't gone? We do what each of us must to be and stay sane during this insane pain.
Any peculiar stressor can help ignite these pains? Such as insurance Issues? [Trust me there, I got a heap of them?]or doctor problems you name it.
Just tell yourself? Don't need this crud... will deal with varied problems in their own time ON MY SCHEDULE! Doctors tho? Durn, the training involved in them is enormous!
Hugs and good things good person! - j
