Mommyjen: Quote:"Sometimes the incentive to get better disappears because without the conditon we wouldn't know who we are or how others would know us."
That sounds pretty straightforward to me or have I somehow miscontrued your sentence?
Yes, it does matter what the doctor calls it because s/he will manage your case accordingly. You are in pain? No meds for you, just try to relax.
The people on this board are supportive, caring people trying to help each other deal with our reality. No one here is trying to get the trophy for being in the most pain for the longest time. We just want to help each other. Regards, Lil
