jimbo,
you nailed it. Usually I am very quite when the pain is to much, but when someone says something and my pain is out of control, I really try and watch what I say. I wasn't like that earlier in the disease. I use to just fly off the handle, esp. if I missed a med.
Steel, if he refuses to go to the dr. you may ask him what he wants to do about pain control. Some people try homeopathic remedies. Unfortunately, you can't make him do anything.
